  • This update addresses an issue that affects lsass.exe. It stops responding. This occurs after you install the April 2024 security updates on Windows servers.

  • This update addresses an issue that might stop your system from resuming from hibernate. This occurs after you turn on BitLocker.  

  • This update addresses an issue that affects lsass.exe. It leaks memory. This occurs during a Local Security Authority (Domain Policy) Remote Protocol (LSARPC) call.

  • This update addresses a known issue that might affect the installation process. You might get an error when you restart the system. Also, the device might roll back to the previous update. This mainly occurs on Windows virtual machines (Parallels Desktop) that run on Arm based Mac devices.

  • Starting in this update, File Explorer adds the Mark of the Web (MoTW) tag to files and folders that come from untrusted locations. When MapUrlToZone classifies a file as “Internet,” that file also gets this tag. Because of this change, the “LastWriteTime” time stamp is updated. This might affect some scenarios that rely on file copy operations.

If you installed earlier updates, only the new updates contained in this package will be downloaded and installed on your device.
