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 This primarily happens when managed devices are updated using outdated bundles or media through an update management tool such as Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager. This might also happen when using outdated physical media or ISO images that do not have the latest updates integrated.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.

    Good morning,

    We are experiencing BSOD with KB5000802.  I suspect it's going to get much worse today with our ~600 endpoints.  After working hard to gain approval to patch the urgent on-prem Exchange issue, I'm now faced with trying to explain why we are getting BSOD with the latest patch, that it has nothing to do with Exchange, and that patching is a good thing.  *sigh*

    We were unable to script and test a removal of this patch and will likely be doing one-offs as they come in today.  Yes, we could script, but couldn't test to my satisfaction for a mass deployment across the environment.  Sure wish there was a way to inform Microsoft that we have this issue, it's hitting production across 600 devices and that we are eager for a fix.  I'm not interested in submitting logs, etc.  We know what the issue is.

    -Henry

    I am not sure if my issue related to the update (KB5000802), but I didn't apply any changes to PC unless running windows update. it is the latest update installed on 11th March,2021. then i found out issue on 15th March.
    I need to connect a file server with SMB1.0 version. I found I lost access to that mapped SMB1.0 drive (O: ) while other file server has no connecting issue with non-SMB 1.0.

    I tried reboot PC but no luck. then I find my SMB 1.0 server feature has been disabled after windows update. I tried enable back then reboot PC, still no luck for it.
    Disable---> reboot, enable--> reboot. still no luck.

    I disconnect SMB 1.0 mapping drive, then reboot. it is fine to connect SMB1.0 file server.
    Then I map drive again, I confirm it is accessible before reboot PC.

    However issue came back again after reboot.

    anyway to resolve this issue?
