Improvements and fixes

This security update includes quality improvements. Key changes include:

  • Addresses a known issue that prevents an internet print server from properly packaging modified printer properties before sending the package to the client.
  • Addresses an issue that prevents some applications, such as Microsoft Office and Adobe Reader, from opening or causes them to stop responding. This occurs on devices that are subject to Microsoft Exploit Protection for Export Address Filtering (EAF).
  • Addresses a known issue with Windows Server 2019 virtual machines (VMs) that use Software Defined Networks (SDN) or traditional multi-tenant Routing and Remote Access service (RRAS) gateways. These VMs might lose connectivity with external networks that use gateway connections. This issue occurs after installing KB5005102 or a later Windows update.
  • Addresses a known issue that might ask for administrative credentials every time you attempt to print. This occurs in environments in which the print server and print client are in different times zones.
    If you installed earlier updates, only the new fixes contained in this package will be downloaded and installed on your device.For more information about the resolved security vulnerabilities, please refer to the new Security Update Guide website and the October 2021 Security Updates.
