Microsoft has made some minor revisions to update descriptions as of June 22, 2018. I stumbled uppon the corresponding information on seclists.org. Here are the unedited details.

[German]Today still a short contribution, to which a Blog reader drew my attention. The Adobe Acrobat Prof XI probably has side effects with Internet Explorer 11, where the favorites can no longer be edited under Windows 10.

[German]Important information for users and administrators of Windows 10, Microsoft says in a new KB article that uninstalling the Microsoft Store in Windows 10 and reinstalling it later is not supported.
[German]Windows 10 (and earlier versions of Windows, if applicable) fails in some situation during update installation may be forced into an update install loop.
