Improvements

This security update includes quality improvements. Below is a summary of the key issues that this update addresses when you install this KB. If there are new features, it lists them as well. The bold text within the brackets indicates the item or area of the change we are documenting. 

  • ​​​​​​​[Windows Installer] When it repairs an application, the User Account Control (UAC) does not prompt for your credentials. After you install this update, the UAC will prompt for them. Because of this, you must update your automation scripts. Application owners must add the Shield icon. It indicates that the process requires full administrator access. To turn off the UAC prompt, set the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer\DisableLUAInRepair registry value to 1. The changes in this update might affect automatic Windows Installer repairs; see Application Resiliency: Unlock the Hidden Features of Windows Installer.

If you installed earlier updates, only the new updates contained in this package will be downloaded and installed on your device.  

For more information about security vulnerabilities, please refer to the new Security Update Guide website and the September 2024 Security Updates.

Known issues in this update

Symptom

Workaround

After installing this security update, you might face issues with booting Linux if you have enabled the dual-boot setup for Windows and Linux in your device. Resulting from this issue, your device might fail to boot Linux and show the error message “Verifying shim SBAT data failed: Security Policy Violation. Something has gone seriously wrong: SBAT self-check failed: Security Policy Violation.”

The August 2024 Windows security update applies a Secure Boot Advanced Targeting (SBAT) setting to devices that run Windows to block old, vulnerable boot managers. This SBAT update will not be applied to devices where dual booting is detected. On some devices, the dual-boot detection did not detect some customized methods of dual-booting and applied the SBAT value when it should not have been applied.

Please refer to the workaround mentioned in Windows release health site for this issue.

After installing the Windows update released on or after July 9, 2024, Windows Servers might affect Remote Desktop Connectivity across an organization. This issue might occur if legacy protocol (Remote Procedure Call over HTTP) is used in Remote Desktop Gateway. Resulting from this, remote desktop connections might be interrupted.

This issue might occur intermittently, such as repeating every 30 minutes. At this interval, logon sessions are lost and users will need to reconnect to the server. IT administrators can track this as a termination of the TSGateway service which becomes unresponsive with exception code 0xc0000005.

To work around this issue, use one of the following options:

Option 1: Disallow connections over pipe, and port \pipe\RpcProxy\3388 through the RD Gateway.

This process will require the use of connection applications, such as firewall software. Consult the documentation for your connection and firewall software for guidance on disallowing and porting connections.

Option 2: Edit the registry of client devices and set the value of RDGClientTransport to 0x00000000 (0)

In Windows Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry location:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client

Find RDGClientTransport and set its value to 0 (zero). This changes the value of RDGClientTransport to 0x00000000 (0).

Next step: We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
