Beginning with Windows 10 version 1809, the WscGetSecurityProviderHealth API may incorrectly report security status.
For example, consider a scenario in which WscGetSecurityProviderHealth reports a security status of WSC_SECURITY_PROVIDER_HEALTH_POOR on Windows 10 version 1803 and earlier versions. On Windows 10 version 1809, the WscGetSecurityProviderHealth API may incorrectly report a status of WSC_SECURITY_PROVIDER_HEALTH_GOOD in the same scenario.
This problem occurs because of a design change to the WscGetSecurityProviderHealth API in Windows 10 version 1809.
To fix this issue, install December 5, 2018 or later Windows cumulative updates.
