Some Windows 7 admins are feeling the pain of Microsoft’s latest updates in this week’s Patch Tuesday releases.
Thankfully for Microsoft, hardworking admins continue to spot bugs that it didn’t detect during pre-release testing.
This time they’ve found that its January security updates are bricking Windows 7 devices with an errant ‘Not Genuine’ Windows license error, and a bug that blocks administrator access to remote shares on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7.
The issues stem from the Monthly Rollup update, KB4480970, and the security-only update, KB4480960, for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
