After our recent posts about Microsoft releasing faulty updates and breaking user computers, we have now found yet another Microsoft Update which has been causing a problem with machines rebooting themselves quite randomly and completely losing network connections.
Again we have done a load of testing and Googling and found the update to be KB4103712.
Problem Update
This is a direct reference from Microsoft about the problems with this update.
KB4103712 – Known Issues in this update
Symptom |
Workaround |
| A stop error occurs on computers that don’t support Streaming Single Instructions Multiple Data (SIMD) Extensions 2 (SSE2). | Microsoft is working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release. |
| Microsoft is aware that some customers have reported that network drivers are intentionally uninstalled, then fail to reinstall after applying the May 8, 2018 update. This can result in the loss of network connectivity. | Microsoft is presently investigating and will provide a status update when the investigation is complete. |
So another Microsoft Update that breaks the NIC! As usual, Microsoft are “investigating” whilst the rest of us IT guys have to sort out their mess on our users computers:
Microsoft is presently investigating and will provide a status update when the investigation is complete.
If you are using WSUS or Configuration Manager, our advise would be to remote the update from being pushed and get it uninstalled off users machines.
