On January 17, Microsoft released multiple out-of-band (OOB) updates that address Windows 11 and Windows 10 and Windows Server issues caused by the January monthly patch. ..
Each of these programs is offered as a direct download via the Microsoft Update Catalog or as an optional update via Windows Update.
In the release note of the OOB update, the company said that the monthly patch for January caused problems with VPN connections, caused an unexpected restart of the domain controller (DC) of Windows Servers, and virtual “Hyper-V”. I admit that there was a case where the machine (VM) could not be started. It also reports the inability to mount removable media such as external USB drives formatted in the Windows Resilient File System (ReFS) format.
Microsoft has released OOB updates for Windows 11 (KB5010795), Windows Server 2022 (KB5010796), and Windows 10 “20H1”, “20H2”, “21H1”, and “21H2” (KB5010793). Windows Message Center “.
VPN issues are caused by IP Security (IPSEC) connection failures that include Vender IDs, affecting Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB through Windows 11. VPN connections using L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) and IPSEC’s Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol may also be affected.
Windows Server DC restart issues affect Windows Server 2012 through Windows Server 2022. It is also likely to be affected if the DC is using shadow principals in an “Enhanced Security Admin Environment” (ESAE) or “Privileged Identity Management” (PIM) environment starting with Windows Server 2016.
The Hyper-V VM not booting issue affects Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows Server 2012 with Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) enabled.
The problem with ReFS is that removable media formatted in ReFS format can’t be mounted or is mounted as RAW. According to Microsoft, the cause of the problem is probably that ReFS format is not supported on removable media, including external USB drives.
As a workaround for this issue, Microsoft will uninstall the monthly patch released on January 11th, reboot the device, and transfer data from the ReFS partition before installing this OOB update. Recommended to do. This transfer operation also includes ensuring that the data contained in the affected removable media is transferred to a ReFS or NTFS volume created on another fixed device. ..
The company said, “After transferring data from the ReFS partition on removable media, please install the January 17, 2022 OOB update, which is released depending on the version of Windows you are using.” ..
