    My CF-19 Mk5, with Windows 7 x86 suffered a BSOD with recent update KB4093118. Anyone else seen this? I was able to recover by entering Safe Mode and deleting the update. I then hid it in Windows update. I've seen other issues online with this update, but not this particular issue.

    FWIW, a Dell D630 suffered low resolution with this update, and then black screens and reboots itself later in the startup cycle, and this repeats over and over. Had to delete this update also on that computer. So if you run into issues after a Windows update, look for that particular KB.

    April 10, 2018—KB4093118 (Monthly Rollup)
    Applies to: Windows 7 Service Pack 1Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1

    Improvements and fixes

    This security update includes improvements and fixes that were a part of update KB4088881 (released March 23, 2018) and addresses the following issues:

    • Addresses an issue where a new Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) that has default settings may replace the previously existing NIC, causing network issues

    • Addresses an issue where static IP address settings can be lost

    • Windows Update and WSUS will offer this update to applicable Windows client and server operating systems regardless of the existence or value of the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\QualityCompat\cadca5fe-87d3-4b96-b7fb-a231484277cc" registry setting. This change has been made to protect user data.

    • Improves reliability in the kernel, and addresses an issue that can cause applications to have unexpected memory contents on multiprocessor systems.

    • Addresses an issue with printing content generated by ActiveX in Internet Explorer.
    • Addresses an access violation on certain pages in Internet Explorer when it renders SVGs under high load.
    • Addresses an issue that, in some instances, prevents Internet Explorer from identifying custom controls.
    • Addresses a stop error that occurred when the previous month’s update was applied to a 32-bit (x86) computer with a Physical Address Extension (PAE) mode disabled.
    • Security updates to Internet Explorer, Microsoft scripting engine, Microsoft graphics component, Windows Server, Windows datacenter networking, Windows virtualization and kernel, and Windows app platform and frameworks.
    For more information about the resolved security vulnerabilities, see the Security Update Guide.

    Note:

    • This update supercedes update 4100480, Windows kernel update for CVE-2018-1038.
    • Resync is required to get newer revision of this KB for WSUS environment
    Known issues in this update

    Symptom Workaround
    After installing KB4056897 or any other recent monthly updates, SMB servers may experience a memory leak for some scenarios. This occurs when the requested path traverses a symbolic link, mount point, or directory junction and the registry key is set to 1:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanManServer\Parameters\EnableEcp Microsoft is working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
    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 releas

    The BSOD was related to one of the Intel graphics driver files, and I notice that the update updated some Windows graphic files. Since the D630 also suffered graphics issues prior to it crashing, I suspect that part of the update is the cause.
