Description of the Security and Quality Rollup for the .NET Framework 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, and 4.7 for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and for the .NET Framework 4.6 for Windows Server 2008 SP2: September 12, 2017

Important

• All updates for .NET Framework 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, and 4.7 require the d3dcompiler_47.dll update to be installed. We recommend that you install the included d3dcompiler_47.dll update before you apply this update. For more information about the d3dcompiler_47.dll update, see KB 4019990 for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. Or, see KB 4019478 for Windows Server 2008.
• If you install a language pack after you install this update, you must reinstall this update. Therefore, we recommend that you install any language packs that you need before you install this update. For more information, see Add language packs to Windows.

Networking

• A fix included in the May Monthly Security and Quality Rollup is being changed to improve the performance of network latency about Active Directory lookups for enhanced key usage (EKU) object identifiers (OIDs) function that is used in TLS (Transport Layer Security) and SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates.

WPF

• Under certain circumstances, Windows Presentation Framework (WPF) applications (notably, Visual Studio) are observed to consume disproportionate amount of CPU cycles in relation to their actual workload. Frequently, these applications eventually crash.  This is seen in WPF applications that are left running in a locked logon session, or when they are left running in a disconnected Terminal Services session.

CLR

• Under certain circumstances, the JIT compiler can perform an incorrect common subexpression elimination (CSE) optimization which results in an incorrect value being computed. 
• For certain XslCompiledTransform objects, the JIT compiler can perform an incorrect tail call optimization.
• When you run certain large server workloads, the JIT compiler can cause an Access Violation and causes early termination of the common language runtime (CLR).

Winforms

• When Windows Forms controls are anchored to the right edge (a nondefault anchor style value), in PerMonitor DPI aware application, anchoring distance is scaled incorrectly on each scaling pass. You may see that controls are moving toward the right edge of the window on each scaling pass and eventually disappear, or that controls are stretched incorrectly.

.NET Framework

• Applications that run on the .NET Framework do not respect the settings that are specified in the registry for AppContext switches. Regardless of the registry option setting for an AppContext flag, the application behaves as if the value specified is set to "false."

Known issues in this update

• After you install the September 12, 2017, .NET Security and Quality Rollups that apply to the .NET Framework 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, and 4.7, you experience rendering issues in Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) applications that use WPF types in a Windows service. For more information, see KB 4043601.
