After installing Windows updates from March 9, 2021 and later, print jobs that are in a pending state before restarting the print spooler service or restarting the OS will remain in an error state. Manually delete the affected print jobs and resubmit them to the print queue when the print spooler service is online. * Addresses an issue in which a non-native device that is in the same realm does not receive a Kerberos Service ticket from Active Directory DCs. This issue occurs even though Windows Updates are installed that contain [CVE-2020-17049](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2020-17049>) protections released between November 10 and December 8, 2020 and configured **PerfromTicketSignature** to **1** or larger. Ticket acquisition fails with **KRB_GENERIC_ERROR** if callers submit a PAC-less Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT) as an evidence ticket without the **USER_NO_AUTH_DATA_REQUIRED** flag being set for the user in User Account Controls. * Security updates to Windows Fundamentals, Windows Shell, Windows UAC, Windows Hybrid Cloud Networking, and Windows Media.
