Improvements and fixes

This update includes quality improvements. No new operating system features are being introduced in this update. Key changes include:

• Addresses an issue that may prevent some applications from displaying the Help (F1) window correctly.
• Addresses an issue that may cause third-party applications to have difficulty authenticating hotspots.
• Addresses an issue that may prevent applications that use a Microsoft Jet database with the Microsoft Access 97 file format from opening. This issue occurs if the database has column names greater than 32 characters. The database fails to open with the error, “Unrecognized Database Format”.
• Addresses an issue in which Windows 10 clients that authenticate to 802.1x WLAN access points fail to apply group policy permissions, run scripts, or retrieve roaming profiles at user logon. This occurs because Kerberos authentication fails for \\domain\sysvol, \\domain\netlogon, and other DFS paths.
• Optimizes layout recalculation in Internet Explorer 11 for customer applications on server platforms.
• Updates time zone information for Chile.
• Addresses an issue that causes the clock and the calendar flyout to ignore user settings for Japanese Era date and time formats. For more information, see KB4469068.
• Enables the 元年 character for the first year in the Japanese Era. For more information, see KB4469068.
• Addresses an issue that fails to display the correct Japanese Era name in Microsoft Office Visual Basic for Applications. For more information, see KB4469068.
• Addresses an issue that causes the abbreviated Japanese Era names to be incorrect. For more information, see KB4469068.
• Adds top-level domain support to HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) Preload for Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11.
• Security updates to Microsoft Scripting Engine, Windows Graphics, Microsoft Graphics Component, Windows Kernel, Windows Input and Composition, Windows Wireless Networking, Windows Server, and the Microsoft JET Database Engine.

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

Windows Update Improvements
Microsoft has released an update directly to the Windows Update client to improve reliability. Any device running Windows 10 configured to receive updates automatically from Windows Update, including Enterprise and Pro editions, will be offered the latest Windows 10 feature update based on device compatibility and Windows Update for Business deferral policy. This doesn't apply to long-term servicing editions.

Known issues in this update

Symptom	Workaround
[ADDED 2/15] After installing this update, Internet Explorer may fail to load images with a backslash (\) in their relative source path.	Change the backslash (\) to a forward slash (/) in the relative path of the image element. Or Change the relative path to the full URI path. Microsoft is working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
[ADDED 2/15] Applications that use a Microsoft Jet database with the Microsoft Access 95 file format may randomly stop working.	Option 1: Convert the database to a newer .mdb file format. This doesn’t require a change to the Connection string. Use Microsoft Access to open a database that has an older file format. You will be asked if you would like to convert. Click Yes and save the database with the .accdb file extension. Open the .accdb. From the File menu, click Save as and select Access 2002-2003 Database. Option 2: Convert the database to the .accdb file format. To use the .accdb file format, you must change the Connection string after conversion. The easiest way to convert is to use Microsoft Access 2010 or earlier. Use Microsoft Access to open a database that has an older file format. You will be asked if you would like to convert. Click Yes and save the database with the .accdb extension. Microsoft is working on a resolution and estimates a solution will be available late February.
