\"Windows[German<\/a>]On 14 January 2020, Microsoft released various (security) updates for Windows 7 SP1 and further updates for Windows 8.1 and the corresponding server versions. Here is an overview of these updates.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Updates for Windows 7\/Windows Server 2008 R2<\/h2>\n

\"\"A rollup and a security-only update have 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<\/a>. Installation requires installed SHA2 support for successful installation of the security updates.<\/p>\n

Beginning January 15, 2020, Windows 7 will display a full-screen end-of-support notification in Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional (without ESU license), and Ultimate. This must then be closed by the user.<\/p>\n

As of January 14, 2020, Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 will reach the end of support and will only receive paid security updates under the ESU program.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

KB4534310 (Monthly Rollup) for Windows 7\/Windows Server 2008 R2<\/h3>\n

Update KB4534310<\/a> (Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1)contains (besides the security fixes of October 2019) improvements and bug fixes and addresses the following:<\/p>\n

Security updates to the Microsoft Scripting Engine, Windows Input and Composition, Windows Storage and Filesystems, and Windows Server.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Windows 7 does not appear to be affected by the CryptoAPI vulnerability reported for Windows.<\/p>\n

This update is automatically downloaded and installed via Windows Update. The package is also available from the Microsoft Update Catalog<\/a> and is distributed via WSUS. The installation requires that the SSU (KB4490628<\/a> dated March 2019 and the SHA-2 update KB4474419<\/a> dated September 10, 2019) is already installed. If installed via Windows Update, this will be installed automatically. After the update installation Microsoft recommends to install the SSU KB4536952<\/a> ((if not already installed). This SSU was released on January 14, 2020 and brings improvements to the service stack.<\/p>\n

Since August 2019, the SHA-2 update (KB4474419<\/a>) must be installed before installing this security update. This is because newer updates are only delivered via SHA-2 Code Signing for Windows Update and WSUS. Microsoft has made an update on October 8, 2019. The update should be updated automatically.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Microsoft does not list any known issues for this update. I received feedback within my German blog, that some readers ending with a black background image and no option to change that. Try the workaround: Change the settings to centralize the background image and then switch the settings back to the previous value – maybe that helps.<\/p>\n

KB4534314 (Security Only) for Windows 7\/Windows Server 2008 R2<\/h3>\n

Update KB4534314<\/a> (Security-only update) is available for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. The update addresses the following issues.<\/p>\n

Security updates to Windows Input and Composition, Windows Storage and Filesystems, and Windows Server.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The update is available via WSUS or in the Microsoft Update Catalog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To install the update, the prerequisites listed in the KB article and above for the rollup update must be met.<\/p>\n

When deploying WSUS, please make sure that the above mentioned SSU and SHA-2 updates are installed – the automatic installation is not done via Windows Update. After installation, Windows must be restarted before the security-only update is installed. You should also install the security update KB4534251<\/a> for IE. Microsoft does not list any known issues for this update.<\/p>\n
