KB4467708: OS Build 17763.134

The KB4467708 (Version: OS Build 17763.134) update includes the following improvement:

[Provides] protections against an additional subclass of speculative execution side-channel vulnerability known as Speculative Store Bypass (CVE-2018-3639) for AMD-based computers. These protections aren’t enabled by default.

Other fixes include:

• A reported problem that users were being prevented from signing into a Microsoft account (MSA) if they were signing in a second time as a different user.
• A problem with file system access to Internet of Things (IoT) Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps that require this capability, which was being denied.
• When running automated tests or installing a physical keyboard, the on-screen keyboard appeared. This should no longer happen.

KB4464455: OS Build 17763.107

Improvements and Fixes

The KB4467708 (Version: OS Build 17763.107) update includes the following improvement:

Addresses an issue that incorrectly implies that user policies have not been applied after configuring a user rights Group Policy setting. Reporting tools, such as RSOP.MSC or Gpresult.exe /h, do not show the user rights policies or display a red “X” instead.

Other fixes include:

• Internet Explorer performance degrading when using roaming profiles or not using Microsoft Compatibility List.
• Time zone information issues.
• When turning on displays on some servers, a black screen was appearing.
• Long delays were being reported when user were taking photos using the Camera app.
• The performance issue with vSwitch on network interface cards (NIC) that do not support Large Send Offload (LSO) and Checksum Offload (CSO) has been improved.
• Issues concerning applications losing IPv4 connectivity when IPv6 is unbound have been solved.
• Finally, reports that issues concerning connectivity breaking on guest VMs on the server when applications inject the low-resource flag on packets have been resolved.

Keep in mind that, just like KB4467708, update KB4467708 is also affected by the default app bug.
