Known issues in this update

Symptom	Workaround
Devices that start up using Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) images from Windows Deployment Services (WDS) or System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) may fail to start with the error "Status: 0xc0000001, Info: A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed" after installing this update on a WDS server.	This issue is resolved in KB4512514.
IA64 devices (in any configuration) and x64 devices using EFI boot that were provisioned after the July 9th updates and/or skipped the recommended update (KB3133977), may fail to start with the following error: "File: \Windows\system32\winload.efi Status: 0xc0000428 Info: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file."	To resolve this issue please follow the steps outlined in the SHA-2 support FAQ article for error code 0xc0000428.
Symantec identified the potential for a negative interaction that may occur after Windows Updates code signed with SHA-2 only certificates are installed on devices with Symantec or Norton antivirus programs installed. The software may not correctly identify files included in the update as code signed by Microsoft, putting the device at risk for a delayed or incomplete update.	The safeguard hold has been removed. Symantec has completed its evaluation of the impact of this update and future updates to Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2. Symantec has determined that there is no increased risk of a false positive detection for all in-field versions of Symantec Endpoint Protection and Norton antivirus programs. See the Symantec support article for additional details and please reach out to Symantec or Norton support if you encounter any issues.
After installing this update, applications that were made using Visual Basic 6 (VB6), macros using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), and scripts or apps using Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) may stop responding and you may receive an "invalid procedure call error."	This issue is resolved in KB4517297, which is an optional update. It is now available on Microsoft Update Catalog and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).
VBScript in Internet Explorer 11 should be disabled by default after installing KB4507437 (Preview of Monthly Rollup) or KB4511872 (Internet Explorer Cumulative Update) and later. However, in some circumstances, VBScript may not be disabled as intended.	This issue is resolved in KB4519976.
After installing this update, you may receive an error when opening or using the Toshiba Qosmio AV Center. You may also receive an error in the Event Log related to cryptnet.dll.	This issue is resolved in KB4516048.
