The update is optional and will only be offered if the user explicitly requests the search for updates in the settings page. The update can also be downloaded and installed from the Microsoft Update Catalog. Please make sure that the latest Servicing Stack Update (SSU) KB4470788 is installed.

The update has known issues, such as the Access 97 access error when using the Jet Database Engine, or the network error in Edge. I had described these bugs in blog posts (see links below).
