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 This primarily happens when managed devices are updated using outdated bundles or media through an update management tool such as Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager. This might also happen when using outdated physical media or ISO images that do not have the latest updates integrated.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

    SMH:  This literally had me searching for a VERY LONG time trying to find answers. Sorry to say I have not been able to.

    1. Have you tried running the windows update troubleshooter through the settings???  windows update,

    troubleshoot, additional troubleshooters, windows update??  It will say: Resolve problems that prevent

    you from updating windows.  

    Would you tell or do a screen shot of your actual windows version and build. Type 'winver' in the search

    box and press enter. 

    Also show installed updates through control panel (Programs - Programs and Features - View installed updates).

    During my searches, it seems sometimes the update in question is already installed!  Go figure.

    This also holds true for actual windows versions!! 

    IF the troubleshooter doesn't help, you can manually download the update in question through the Microsoft Catalog. 

    It's a service from Microsoft that provides a listing of updates that can be distributed over a corporate network.

    However, I've known of users downloading updates via this method for their own PC. Conflicting theories on doing this. 

    Someone more knowledgeable may be able to clarify this for you (and me.)  

    Have you though about updating to windows 20H2?

    It seems Windows 10, version 1909 will reach the end of servicing on May 11, 2021. 

    This applies to the following editions of Windows 10 released in November of 2019:

    Windows 10 Home, version 1909 

    Windows 10 Pro, version 1909

    Windows 10 Pro Education, version 1909 

    Windows 10 Pro for Workstations, version 1909

    These editions will no longer receive security updates after May 11, 2021. Customers who contact

     Microsoft Support after this date will be directed to update their device to the latest version of 

    Windows 10 to remain supported. Devices won't receive security updates when the operating system reaches end of life. 

    Sure, you can still use your computer, but won't receive security updates, etc.-- blah blah blah.

    I was also using version 1909 until recently when I knew a forced update was coming.  A very kind soul here helped

    me get 20H2 via the Windows 10 Update Assistant.

    There are conflicting opinions whether to use that tool or not depending where you search for answers.  I used it and it worked

    for me.  I did have to update a few drivers and install a few apps afterward, but my computer functions, unlike many

    here.  Also, the exe program needs to be uninstalled once finished using it.  I have more information on that if you are interested.

    Sorry I don't have better answers for you.  Perhaps someone will come along and be able to help you fix your

    problem in 5 minutes.  I'm "learning" through "searching."  It gets frustrating when getting conflicting "fixes." 

    Some fixes are way over my pay grade to execute.  Hope you find your answer soon.  I'll also keep looking.  Some

    things just bother me - like this problem.

    Hi,

    This will become huge in a few days as more and more info IT admins get the same issues on different copier brands.

    It seems that the most affected are Kyocera/Triumph-Adler/Utax/Copystar copiers family.

    If you have PC with Win 10 versions 1909, 2004, 20H2 and Kyocera family type 3 KX print driver, after this update you'll get BSOD APC_INDEX_MISMATCH.

    Only way to fix is to uninstall this update or switch to xps driver or type 4 driver.
