Updates for Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2
A preview rollup update has been released for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. The update history for Windows 7 can be found on this Microsoft page.
KB4503277 (Preview Monthly Rollup) Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2
Update KB4503277 (Preview Rollup for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) contains improvements and bug fixes that will be rolled out in the following month. The KB article points out that this update no longer includes the PciClearStaleCache.exe for fixing network problems. If you encounter problems, please see KB4493453 for more information. The update contains the following fixes:
- Addresses an issue that prevents the Calculator application from following the Gannen setting when it is enabled. For more information, see KB4469068.
- Addresses an issue with evaluating the compatibility status of the Windows ecosystem to help ensure application and device compatibility for all updates to Windows.
- Addresses an issue that causes Internet Explorer 11 to stop working when it opens or interacts with Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) markers, including Power BI line charts with markers.
- Addresses an issue that may display the error, "MMC has detected an error in a snap-in and will unload it." when you try to expand, view, or create Custom Views in Event Viewer. Additionally, the application may stop responding or close. You may also receive the same error when using Filter Current Log in the Action menu with built-in views or logs.
The update is optional and is offered by Windows Update. It can also be downloaded from the Microsoft Update Catalog. Microsoft strongly recommends that you install the latest Service Stack Update (SSU) KB4490628 before installing the latest rollup. When installing via Windows Update, the SSU should have been installed automatically before.
Microsoft states in the KB article that the update has issues with McAfee security software. The KB article contains notes and links to the AV manufacturer's support articles. Since this is a preview rollup, I would hide it unless there are special testing requirements. Or you need the bug fix to crash the Event Viewer (you can alternatively use the approaches mentioned in the article Tip: PowerShell workarounds for June bug in Windows Event Viewer).
