Known issues with KB5000802 and KB5000808

Symptom Workaround
System and user certificates might be lost when updating a device from Windows 10, version 1809 or later to a later version of Windows 10. Devices will only be impacted if they have already installed any Latest cumulative update (LCU) released September 16, 2020 or later and then proceed to update to a later version of Windows 10 from media or an installation source which does not have an LCU released October 13, 2020 or later integrated. This primarily happens when managed devices are updated using outdated bundles or media through an update management tool such as Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager. This might also happen when using outdated physical media or ISO images that do not have the latest updates integrated. <br> <br>NoteDevices using Windows Update for Business or that connect directly to Windows Update are not impacted. Any device connecting to Windows Update should always receive the latest versions of the feature update, including the latest LCU, without any extra steps. If you have already encountered this issue on your device, you can mitigate it within the uninstall window by going back to your previous version of Windows using the instructions here. The uninstall window might be 10 or 30 days depending on the configuration of your environment and the version you’re updating to. You will then need to update to the later version of Windows 10 after the issue is resolved in your environment. NoteWithin the uninstall window, you can increase the number of days you have to go back to your previous version of Windows 10 by using the DISM command /Set-OSUninstallWindow. You must make this change beforethe default uninstall window has lapsed. For more information, see DISM operating system uninstall command-line options. <br> <br>We are working on a resolution and will provide updated bundles and refreshed media in the coming weeks.
(KB5000802 only) When using the Microsoft Japanese Input Method Editor (IME) to enter Kanji characters in an app that automatically allows the input of Furigana characters, you might not get the correct Furigana characters. You might need to enter the Furigana characters manually. <br> <br>NoteThe affected apps are using the ImmGetCompositionString() function. We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
After installing this update, you might receive an APC_INDEX_MISMATCH error with a blue screen when attempting to print to certain printers in some apps. Issue resolved with an out-of-band update.
After installing updates released March 9, 2021 or March 15, 2021, you might get unexpected results when printing from some apps. Issues might include:<br><ul style="margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0; color: rgba(54, 54, 54, 1)"><li style="margin-left: 0"><p style="color: rgba(30, 30, 30, 1)">Elements of the document might print as solid black/color boxes or might be missing, including barcodes, QR codes, and graphics elements, such as logos.</p></li><li style="margin-left: 0"><p style="color: rgba(30, 30, 30, 1)">Table lines might be missing. Other alignment or formatting issues might also be present.</p></li><li style="margin-left: 0"><p style="color: rgba(30, 30, 30, 1)">Printing from some apps or to some printers might result in a blank page or label.</p></li></ul> Resolved - Install KB5001649 from the links below.

    I've had three issues since installing the new updates on my desktop

    1. Mail App won't launch. I have to go sign into outlook manually
    2. Microsoft Photos wouldn't launch, and using the microsoft store app to reinstall or try to download another browser would suffer an unspecified error. I did it through my web browser instead though
    3. My main issue: I use a USB to transfer files from the Desktop to my mobile phone and while it still recognises the phone, when I try to copy them over it just plays the error jingle with no popups to explain the issue.

    Since the start of February all updates other then Net Framework and Windows Defender cause Edge to crash (Firefox works) not only does it crash but its frozen in the 8 seconds it stays open with the Restore Last Page tab open. Several autostart programs crash upon windows start up, Malawarebytes, Razor Central, Corsair ICUE. Windows Update crashes also but Programs and Features works and I can remove the update then hide it with wushowhide.

    These 4 I know for sure cause these problems:

    Windows 10.0-KB4601319-x64

    Windows 10.0-KB4601382-x64

    Windows 10.0-KB4601554-x64

    20H2 - KB5000802

    One or 2 have vanished from wushowhide (so I can't post the version#) when I have tried to unhide updates when a new one comes I try again to install the bad ones to no avail.

    I have 3 computers all built by me my other 2 take all updates no problem all have Windows 10 Pro, MSI and ASUS MB's all have latest BIOS and most drivers done by Driver Booster Pro. I have not had any of the freeze while updating problems.

    Microsoft Windows 10 Professional (x64) Build 19042.746 (20H2)

    MSI Z490a Pro

    I9-10900KF

    Corsair iCUE H115i RGB Pro XT, 280mm Radiator

    ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 2080 Ti GAMING OC

    32gigs Ram

    Since the last update I cannot update my laptop anymore. I also can't load my Windows Update tab in the settings. I get the message "Something went wrong. Try reopen settings later". I have tried several options like troubleshooting and some scans with the cmd. None worked and I still get to see "Update and restart" and "Update and shutdown" while it does nothing. Can someone help me please?
