This security update includes quality improvements. Key changes include:

  • Addresses an issue that causes a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) modify operation to fail if the operation contains the SamAccountName and UserAccountControl attributes. The error message is, “Error: 0x20EF. The directory service encountered an unknown failure”.

***^UPDATED 01/11/22^*REMINDERWindows 10, version 2004 reached end of servicing on December 14, 2021. To continue receiving security and quality updates, Microsoft recommends that you update to the latest version of Windows 10.

To update to one of the newer versions of Windows 10, we recommend that you use the appropriate Enablement Package KB (EKB). Using the EKB makes updating faster and easier and requires a single restart. To find the EKB for a specific OS, go to theImprovements and fixes section and click or tap the OS name to expand the collapsible section.

Highlights:

  • Updates a known issue that affects Japanese Input Method Editors (IME). Text you enter might appear out of order or the text cursor might move unexpectedly in apps that use the multibyte character set (MBCS).
  • Updates security for your Windows operating system.

Download the updates manually from the Microsoft Update Catalog.

    The windows 11 updated pushed into my laptop and desktop running on Core i3, 8th Generation, 4 GB RAM. This slowed down performance of system heavily. Opening the browser using Edge and file explorer takes more than 5-10 minutes occasionally. I have limited apps which opens at start up. This includes standard apps and anti virus "Quick Heal". When Teams, One drive or Google Drive is opened, the performance suffers further.

    The system spec were scanned when windows 11 was updated by auto system.

    When some updates are pushed, the speed further falls down

    Normally, 16GB ram is needed to for better performance.

    Also many unwanted tasks are running background without our knowledge. So we have to found out the culprit apps or files , after that we should remove..

    Moreover your processor model is fully compatible with windows 11.

    Another update that does nothing but ruin my computer. I’ve been avoiding the new system update for about a week, and of course my laptop tried to auto install it. Now I’m stuck on a “please wait while we install a system update” screen/loop. This will be the second time I’ll have to send my computer away to be repaired. I can confidently say I will not buying another HP laptop; this is ridiculous.

    Ok since installing this update I can’t enter my account. It’s an admin account too. I always used a pin and now I restart computer and the pin box is just gone!

    I’m so screwed I tried retrieving user info and reset password through Microsoft live but every email address I enter isn’t right.

    Can’t I just get the pin box back please?
