Update KB4055532 .NET Framework
On my Windows 7 SP1 machine update KB4055532 (Security and Quality Rollup for. NET Framework 3.5.1,4.5.2,4.6,4.6.1,4.6.2,4.7, and 4.7.1 updates for Windows 7 SP1 and Server 2008 R2 SP1) is offered as important. Update KB4055532 has been re-issued by Microsoft on January 18, 2018.
The important update replaces update KB4055002. The reason for this replacement is given in the KB article as follows.

Update KB4057270 .NET Framework (Preview Rollup)
Furthermore, KB4057270 (2018-01 Preview of Quality Rollup for. NET Framework 3.5.1,4.5.2,4.5.2,4.6,4.6.1,4.6.2,4.7,4.7.1 on Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 for x64) has been offered on my Windows 7 machine. There is no KB article yet, but the update is offered in the Microsoft Update Catalog. Since this is a preview rollup, I recommend to hide the update first. It will be rolled out next month as a rollup update.
Update KB4033339 .NET Framework 4.7.1 Language Pack
Microsoft has also released Update KB4033339 (Microsoft. NET Framework 4.7.1 Language Pack for Windows Server 2012) . The language package for.

Update KB4057400 for Windows 7 / Server 2008 R2
Update KB4057400 (Preview of Monthly Rollup) has been released on January 19, 2018 for Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1. It's a non security update. The Preview Monthly Rollups provide a preview of the non-safety relevant updates for the following month – in the current case a preview to February 2018.
The preview rollup update includes improvements and fixes that were part of KB4056894 (published on January 4, 2018). It also includes these new quality enhancements as a preview of the next monthly rollup update. According to the Microsoft KB article, the update addresses the following points:
-
Addresses issue where every smart card logon to a Windows Terminal Server/Remote Desktop Server may result in a handle leak in the certprop service. Token leaks result in session leaks on computers that have installed MS16-111/KB3175024 and superseding fixes.
- Adds support for the SHA2 server's authentication endpoint support for the Windows Server Update Services server.
For more information about the resolved security vulnerabilities, see the Security Update Guide. The update is optional, and if the above problems do not need to be fixed urgently, I recommend to hide the update. In February there is still enough time to deal with the update. Also note that there are known issues, detailed within Microsoft's kb article.
The monthly preview rollup update for Windows 8.1 has been described within my blog post Windows 8.1/Server 2012: Updates and AMD boot issue fix.
Old update KB3038936 is offered on Windows 8.1
A blog reader informed me, that on his Windows 8.1 machines update KB3038936 has been offered also. This download page says, that this update is from 08/10/2015 for Windows 8.1. KB3038936 (updated January 2017) says its August 2015 anti-malware platform update for Windows Defender in Windows 8.1 and Windows 8. At eightforums.com there is this thread mentiones, that it should improve Windows Defender. This old update seems to be re-offered (see also here). Due to the fact that the functionality has been replaced with Rollup Updates, this update is obsolete. So hide the update.
Update KB4052623 for Windows Defender
Microsoft has updated Windows Defender under Windows 10 (an update of the Windows Defender Antimalware platform). Windows Defender Update KB4052623 has been released on January 19, 2018. Microsoft's article KB4052623 hasn't been updated yet (it's dated January 5, 2018). The update changes Antimalware client to version 4.12.17007.18011. This version is available for Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016.
