When using Outlook, opening links in emails might display an error​

Status	Originating update	History
Resolved	N/A	Resolved: 2023-07-25, 18:26 PT Opened: 2023-07-25, 18:14 PT

When clicking on links in emails in Microsoft Outlook, you might receive an error message with the text “Something unexpected went wrong with this URL”. Opening links in emails on Microsoft Outlook may also display an error stating "Microsoft Office has identified a potential security concern. This location may be unsafe."

As a result of Microsoft Office security hardening changes, hyperlinks which contain fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP address will display this message. This is due to protections released July 11, 2023.

Please note: This behavior is caused by a protection update in Outlook released July 11, 2023. It is not caused by Windows Updates.

Resolution: These messages are displayed as part of recent Office security changes. Details can be seen in KB article Outlook blocks opening FQDN and IP address hyperlinks after installing protections for Microsoft Outlook Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability released July 11, 2023.

In order to ensure continued access to files on FQDN or IP address paths, add those URLs to the Trusted Sites zone in accordance with Windows guidance. An Intranet site is identified as an Internet site when you use an FQDN or an IP address. This can be accomplished with the following steps:

1. Open the "Internet Properties" settings. This can be done in one of the following ways:
   1. Open "Control Panel" from the start menu and select "Internet Options" under "Network and Internet"
   2. On your keyboard, press and hold the Windows key, then press the letter S. In the search dialog that appears, type "Internet Properties" and select the first result.
2. Click the Security tab, then select Trusted Sites.
3. Under "Add this website to the zone", add the URL, UNC, FQDN path that you want to allow. For example, add: file://server.usa.corp.com

Note: If the entry you wish to add does not explicitly start with ‘https:’, you must first uncheck the ‘Require server verification (https) for all sites in this zone’ checkbox before it can be saved.

This workaround can also be deployed via group policy. See policy: \\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Internet Control Panel\Security Page\Site to Zone Assignment List on the Group Policy Search site.

After installing KB5027215 or later updates on Windows devices with certain antivirus, antimalware or security software installed, you might not be able to open Microsoft or third-party apps. Some known affected apps are Microsoft Outlook and other Microsoft Office apps. This issue only occurs with 32-bit apps running on 64-bit Windows with Trellix Endpoint Security version earlier than 35.31.25. When attempting to open an affected app, Event Log indicates an access violation with the error "module is unknown". This issue is not likely to be encountered by consumers using Windows devices in their home.

Resolution: This issue has been resolved by Trellix in Endpoint Security Agent (HX) 35.31.25 and later. If you are experiencing this issue with other security software installed or after installing the latest version of Trellix Endpoint Security Agent, please contact customer support of the security software you are using.

Affected platforms:

Integrated camera might not work as expected on some Arm-based devices​

Status	Originating update	History
Resolved External	N/A	Last updated: 2023-07-10, 11:21 PT Opened: 2023-05-26, 18:02 PT

Windows devices using certain Arm-based processors might have issues using integrated cameras starting on May 23, 2023. When encountering this issue, you might receive an “0xA00F4271<MediaCaptureFailedEvent> (0x80004005)” error when attempting to use the Camera app. Affected devices use these processors: Qualcomm 8cx Gen 1, Qualcomm 8cx Gen 2, Microsoft SQ1, and Microsoft SQ2. Note: This issue does not affect USB cameras or webcams, even when attached to an affected Windows devices.

Workaround: Microsoft is deploying a critical troubleshooter to mitigate this issue on most affected Windows devices. Troubleshooters are applied automatically and can't be run manually. For more information about troubleshooting, see keep your device running smoothly with recommended troubleshooting. To check if the troubleshooter has been applied, look for the following in troubleshooter history:

Hardware and devices troubleshooter

Automatically change system settings to fix a problem on your device

To mitigate this issue on managed devices where troubleshooters are disabled by your organization or if you want the mitigation before the troubleshooter has run automatically, use the following steps to disable the affected feature of the camera driver. Important: You should apply this workaround only on devices experiencing this issue. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk:

1. Select the Start button and type cmd, then right click or long press on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
2. Copy and paste the following command and run the command by pressing Enter: reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Qualcomm\Camera" /v EnableQCOMFD /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
3. Restart any app which uses the camera or restart your Windows device.
4. The integrated camera should now function as expected.

Note: This workaround might disable some features of the camera or lower the image quality but should allow the camera to function until the issue is resolved by the device manufacturer with an updated camera driver. An updated driver should restore full camera functionality and the workaround should not need to be undone.
Resolution: This issue was resolved with the release of updated camera drivers. The updated drivers should offer and install automatically from Windows Update in the coming weeks. If you would like to check if updated drivers are available for your device, you can manually check for updates. If updated camera drivers are not already installed and not offered when manually checking Windows Update, they might not be available yet for affected devices from your Windows device manufacturer (OEM).

• Client: Windows 11, version 22H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 11, version 21H2

Saving or copying files might intermittently fail​

Status	Originating update	History
Resolved KB5027215	OS Build 19045.2788 KB5023773 2023-03-21	Resolved: 2023-06-13, 10:00 PT Opened: 2023-05-24, 10:32 PT

After installing KB5023773 or later updates, you might have intermittent issues saving, or copying, or attaching files using 32-bit apps which are large address aware and using the CopyFile API. Windows devices are more likely to be affected by this issue when using some commercial/enterprise security software which uses extended file attributes. We are not receiving reports that copying files using File Explorer is affected, but CopyFile API used within apps might be affected. Microsoft Office apps such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel are only affected when using 32-bit versions and you might receive the error, "Document not saved." This issue is unlikely to be experienced by consumers using Windows devices in their home or on non-managed comercial device. Note: Apps are not affected by this issue if they are 64-bit or 32-bit and NOT large address aware.
Workaround: To mitigate the issue, you can attempt to save or copy again. Since the issue is intermittent, it is likely to succeed on a subsequent try. Important: If the resolution below does not resolve intermittent save or copy issues in your environment, then you might be experiencing a different issue with similar symptoms.
Resolution: This issue was resolved in updates released June 13, 2023 ( KB5027215) and later. We recommend you install the latest security update for your device. It contains important improvements and issue resolutions, including this one. If you install an update released June 13, 2023 or later, you do not need to use a Known Issue Rollback (KIR) or a special Group Policy to resolve this issue. If you are using an update released before June 13, 2023, and have this issue, you can resolve it by installing and configuring the special Group Policy listed below.
Enterprise-managed devices that have installed an affected update and have encountered this issue can resolve it by installing and configuring a special Group Policy. The special Group Policy can be found in Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> <Group Policy name listed below>.

You might receive an error with apphelp.dll from apps using DirectX​

Status	Originating update	History
Resolved KB5025297	OS Build 19045.2251 KB5019959 2022-11-08	Resolved: 2023-04-25, 10:00 PT Opened: 2023-02-08, 15:49 PT

After installing KB5019959 or later updates, you might receive an error with apphelp.dll on Windows devices using Intel graphics drivers with versions 26.20.100.7463 up to 30.0.101.1190. This issue might happen intermittently and affects a small number of enterprise apps which use DirectX or Direct3D to render part or all of their content. Windows devices using updated Intel graphics drivers with a version later than 30.0.101.1190 are not affected by this issue and already have the Intel resolution for this issue installed.
Home users of Windows are unlikely to experience this issue, as the few affected apps are more commonly used in enterprise environments.
Workaround: To mitigate this issue, you can install an Intel graphics driver with a later version than 30.0.101.1190. It is recommended to check your Windows device manufacturer's support for the latest version of the Intel graphics driver for your device. If they do not offer a driver later than 30.0.101.1190, you can check List of Drivers for Intel Graphics for information on how to download and install the latest Intel graphics driver available from Intel directly.

The Start menu, Windows search, and Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps might not work as expected or might have issues opening. Affected Windows devices might have damaged registry keys or data which might affect apps using Microsoft Office APIs to integrate with Windows, Microsoft Office, or Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Calendar. An example of an app affected by this issue is ClickShare. The underlying Issue is not caused by the installation of an update to Windows and might be exposed by an update to an affected app.
Workaround: To mitigate this issue, you can uninstall apps which integrate with Windows, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Calendar. Updates to affected apps or guidance from the developer of the app might also be available. If you are using ClickShare by Barco, please see Symptom: Start Menu and other shell components fail when Apps including Barco's ClickShare access Office APIs and Unresponsive Windows taskbar or user shell folder permissions issues with ClickShare App Calendar integration.

Application shortcuts might not work from the Start menu or other locations​

Status	Originating update	History
Resolved	N/A	Resolved: 2023-01-18, 19:28 PT Opened: 2023-01-13, 13:40 PT

After installing security intelligence update build 1.381.2140.0 for Microsoft Defender, application shortcuts in the Start menu, pinned to the taskbar, and on the Desktop might be missing or deleted. Additionally, errors might be observed when trying to run executable (.exe) files which have dependencies on shortcut files. Affected devices have the Atack Surface Reduction (ASR) rule "Block Win32 API calls from Office macro" enabled. After installing security intelligence build 1.381.2140.0, detections resulted in the deletion of certain Windows shortcut (.lnk) files that matched the incorrect detection pattern.
Windows devices used by consumers in their home or small offices are not likely to be affected by this issue.
Workaround: Changes to Microsoft Defender can mitigate this issue. The Atack Surface Reduction (ASR) rules in Microsoft Defender are used to regulate software behavior as part of security measures. Changing ASR rules to Audit Mode can help prevent this issue. This can be done through the following options:

• Using Intune: Enable attack surface reduction rules | Defender for Endpoint: Microsoft Endpoint Manager
• Using Group Policy: Enable attack surface reduction rules | Defender for Endpoint: Group Policy

Microsoft Office applications can be launched through the Microsoft 365 app launcher. More details on the Microsoft 365 app launcher can be found in Meet the Microsoft 365 app launcher
Next steps: This issue is resolved in security intelligence update build 1.381.2164.0. Installing security intelligence update build 1.381.2164.0 or later should prevent the issue, but it will not restore previously deleted shortcuts. You will need to recreate or restore these shortcuts through other methods. For additional information and help recovering missing shortcuts, see Recovering from Attack Surface Reduction rule shortcut deletions (updated on January 17, 2023 to include additional guidance and scripts to help with recovery).
Affected platforms:

Resolved KB5022282	OS Build 19045.2251 KB5019959 2022-11-08	Resolved: 2023-01-10, 10:00 PT Opened: 2022-12-05, 15:45 PT

After installing KB5019959, apps which use ODBC connections utilizing the Microsoft ODBC SQL Server Driver (sqlsrv32.dll) to access databases might fail to connect. You might receive an error within the app or you might receive an error from SQL Server, such as "The EMS System encountered a problem" with "Message: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] Protocol error in TDS Stream" or "Message: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Unknown token received from SQL Server". Note for developers: Apps affected by this issue might fail to fetch data, for example when using the SQLFetch function. This issue might occur when calling SQLBindCol function before SQLFetch or calling SQLGetData function after SQLFetch and when a value of 0 (zero) is given for the ‘BufferLength’ argument for fixed datatypes larger than 4 bytes (such as SQL_C_FLOAT).
If you are unsure if you are using any affected apps, open any apps which use a database and then open Command Prompt (select Start then type command prompt and select it) and type the following command:
tasklist /m sqlsrv32.dll

Workaround: To mitigate this issue, you can do one of the following:

• If your app is already using or able to use Data Source Name (DSN) to select ODBC connections, install Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server and select it for use with your app using DSN. Note: We recommend the latest version of Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server, as it is more compatible with apps currently using the legacy Microsoft ODBC SQL Server Driver (sqlsrv32.dll) than Microsoft ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server.
• If your app is unable to use DSN, the app will need to be modified to allow for DSN or to use a newer ODBC driver than Microsoft ODBC SQL Server Driver (sqlsrv32.dll).

Resolution: This issue was resolved in KB5022282. If you have implemented the above workaround, it is recommended to continue using the configuration in the workaround.
Affected platforms:

• Client: Windows 11, version 22H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 11, version 21H2; Windows 10, version 21H2; Windows 10, version 21H1; Windows 10, version 20H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2016; Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB; Windows 8.1; Windows 7 SP1

You might receive an error (0xc000021a) with a blue screen​

Status	Originating update	History
Resolved KB5022282	OS Build 19045.2364 KB5021233 2022-12-13	Resolved: 2023-01-10, 10:00 PT Opened: 2022-12-17, 15:18 PT

After installing KB5021233, some Windows devices might start up to an error (0xc000021a) with a blue screen. Technical note: After installing KB5021233, there might be a mismatch between the file versions of hidparse.sys in c:/windows/system32 and c:/windows/system32/drivers (assuming Windows is installed to your C: drive), which might cause signature validation to fail when cleanup occurs.
Workaround: To mitigate this issue on devices already experiencing it, you will need to use Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) with the following steps:

1. You will need to enter Windows Recovery Environment. If your device has not automatically started up into WinRE, please see Entry points into WinRE.
2. Select the Troubleshoot button.
3. Select the "Start recovery, troubleshooting, and diagnostic tools" button.
4. Select the "Advanced Options" button.
5. Select the "Command Prompt" button and wait for your device to restart, if needed.
6. Your device should restart to a Command Prompt window. You might need to sign into your device with your password before getting to the Command Prompt window.
7. Run the following command (Important: If Windows is not installed to C:\windows you will need to modify the command to your environment): xcopy C:\windows\system32\drivers\hidparse.sys C:\windows\system32\hidparse.sys
8. Once the previous command completes, type: exit
9. Select the "Continue" button.
10. Windows should now start up as expected.

Important: It is not recommended to follow any other workaround than those recommended above. We do not recommend deleting the hidparse.sys from your Windows\System32 folder.
Resolution: This issue was resolved in KB5022282. This update should prevent the issue from occurring. Windows devices in which this issue has already occurred will still need to follow the workaround above.
Affected platforms:

• Client: Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10, version 21H2; Windows 10, version 21H1; Windows 10, version 20H2

Sign in failures and other issues related to Kerberos authentication​

Status	Originating update	History
Resolved	OS Build 19045.2251 KB5019959 2022-11-08	Resolved: 2022-11-18, 16:22 PT Opened: 2022-11-13, 15:16 PT

Updated November 18, 2022: Added update information for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
After installing updates released on November 8, 2022 or later on Windows Servers with the Domain Controller role, you might have issues with Kerberos authentication. This issue might affect any Kerberos authentication in your environment. Some scenarios which might be affected:

• Domain user sign in might fail. This also might affect Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) authentication.
• Group Managed Service Accounts (gMSA) used for services such as Internet Information Services (IIS Web Server) might fail to authenticate.
• Remote Desktop connections using domain users might fail to connect.
• You might be unable to access shared folders on workstations and file shares on servers.
• Printing that requires domain user authentication might fail.

When this issue is encountered you might receive a Microsoft-Windows-Kerberos-Key-Distribution-Center Event ID 14 error event in the System section of Event Log on your Domain Controller with the below text. Note: affected events will have "the missing key has an ID of 1":
While processing an AS request for target service <service>, the account <account name> did not have a suitable key for generating a Kerberos ticket (the missing key has an ID of 1). The requested etypes : 18 3. The accounts available etypes : 23 18 17. Changing or resetting the password of <account name> will generate a proper key.

Note: This issue is not an expected part of the security hardening for Netlogon and Kerberos starting with November 2022 security update. You will still need to follow the guidance in these articles even after this issue is resolved.
Windows devices used at home by consumers or devices which are not part of a on premises domain are not affected by this issue. Azure Active Directory environments that are not hybrid and do not have any on premises Active Directory servers are not affected.
Resolution: This issue was resolved in out-of-band updates released November 17, 2022 and November 18, 2022 for installation on all the Domain Controllers (DCs) in your environment. You do not need to install any update or make any changes to other servers or client devices in your environment to resolve this issue. If you used any workaround or mitigations for this issue, they are no longer needed, and we recommend you remove them.

Possible issues caused by Daylight Savings Time change in Jordan​

Status	Originating update	History
Resolved KB5018482	N/A	Resolved: 2022-10-25, 14:00 PT Opened: 2022-10-21, 14:34 PT

On October 5, 2022, the Jordanian government made an official announcement ending the winter-time Daylight Saving Time (DST) time zone change. Starting at 12:00 a.m. Friday, October 28, 2022, the official time will not advance by an hour and will permanently shift to the UTC + 3 time zone.
The impact of this change is as follows:

1. Clocks will not be advanced by an hour at 12:00 a.m. on October 28, 2022 for the Jordan time zone.
2. The Jordan time zone will permanently shift to the UTC + 3 time zone.

Symptoms if no update is installed and the workaround is not used on devices in the Jordan time zone on October 28, 2022 or later:

• Time shown in Windows and apps will not be correct.
• Apps and cloud services which use date and time for integral functions, such as Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Outlook, notifications and scheduling of meetings might be 60 minutes off.
• Automation using date and time, such as Scheduled tasks, might not run at the expected time.
• Timestamp on transactions, files, and logs will be 60 minutes off.
• Operations that rely on time-dependent protocols such as Kerberos might cause authentication failures when attempting to logon or access resources.
• Windows devices and apps outside of Jordan might also be affected if they are connecting to servers or devices in Jordan or if they are scheduling or attending meetings taking place in Jordan from another location or time zone. Windows devices outside of Jordan should not use the workaround, as it would change their local time on the device.

Workaround: You can mitigate this issue on devices in Jordan by doing either of the following on October 28, 2022, if an update is not available to resolve this issue for your version of Windows:

• Select the Windows logo key, type "Date and time", and select Date and time settings. From the Date & time settings page, toggle Adjust for daylight saving time automatically to Off.
• Go to Control Panel > Clock and Region > Date and Time > Change time zone and uncheck the option for “Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time”.

Important: We recommend using ONLY the above workaround to mitigate the issue with time created by the new Daylight Savings Time in Jordan. We do NOT recommend using any other workaround, as they can create inconsistent results and might create serious issues if done incorrectly.
Resolution: This issue was resolved in KB5018482. Note: KB5018482 will not install automatically. To apply this update, you can check for updates and select the optional preview to download and install.
Affected platforms:

• Client: Windows 11, version 22H2; Windows 11, version 21H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10, version 21H2; Windows 10, version 21H1; Windows 10, version 20H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2016; Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB; Windows 8.1; Windows 7 SP1
