Improvements and fixes

This security update includes quality improvements. Key changes include:

  • Addresses an issue with an inconsistent shutdown during Windows Update that damages the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) repository. As a result, the Managed Object Format (MOF) Advance Installer fails.

  • Addresses an issue that might prevent you from signing in to some Microsoft 365 desktop client apps after installing the May 11, 2021 or later update and restarting your device. You might also receive an 80080300 error or "We ran into a problem. Reconnecting…" when attempting to authenticate or sign in to Teams.

Windows Update Improvements

Microsoft has released an update directly to the Windows Update client to improve reliability. Any device running Windows 10 configured to receive updates automatically from Windows Update, including Enterprise and Pro editions, will be offered the latest Windows 10 feature update based on device compatibility and Windows Update for Business deferral policy. This doesn't apply to long-term servicing editions.

Known issues in this update

Symptom

Workaround

After installing this or later updates, apps accessing event logs on remote devices might be unable to connect. This issue might occur if the local or remote has not yet installed updates released June 8, 2021 or later. Affected apps are using certain legacy Event Logging APIs. You might receive an error when attempting to connect, for example:

  • error 5: access is denied 

  • error 1764: The requested operation is not supported.

  • System.InvalidOperationException,
    Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetEventLogCommand

  • Windows has not provided an error code.

Note Event Viewer and other apps using current non-legacy APIs to access event logs should not be affected.

This is expected due to security hardening changes relating to Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) for CVE-2021-31958. This issue is resolved if the local and remote devices both have installed updates released June 8, 2021 or later.

After installing this update or later, the news and interests button in the Windows taskbar might have blurry text on certain display configurations.

This issue is resolved in KB5003698.

Prerequisite:

You must install the April 13, 2021 servicing stack update (SSU) (KB5001406) or the latest SSU (KB5003710) before installing the latest cumulative update (LCU).
