Improvements
This security update includes improvements. Below is a summary of the key issues that this update addresses when you install this KB. If there are new features, it lists them as well. The bold text within the brackets indicates the item or area of the change we are documenting.

• [FrameShutdownDelay] Fixed: The browser ignores its value in the “HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\Main” registry key.
• ​​​​​​​[Remote Desktop (known issue)] Fixed: Windows Servers might disrupt Remote Desktop connections across your company. This issue might occur if you use a legacy protocol in the Remote Desktop Gateway. An example protocol is Remote Procedure Call over HTTP. If the issue occurs, it is sporadic, like every 30 minutes. At that point, you lose sessions that you are signed in to. Then you must reconnect to the server. IT admins can track this as an end to the TSGateway service. It stops responding, with the exception code 0xc0000005.

If you installed earlier updates, only the new updates contained in this package will be downloaded and installed on your device.
