After installing the April 2024 security update (KB5036909) on domain controllers (DCs), you might notice a significant increase in NTLM authentication traffic. This issue is more likely to affect Active Directory (AD) deployments already servicing a large number of NTLM authentication requests where a small number of Primary Domain Controllers (PDCs) are supporting a large number of read-write Backup Domain Controllers (DCs) and Read Only Domain Controllers (RODCs).
Note: In rare instances, Windows Servers running the Domain Controller (DC) role might experience Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) crashes resulting in a reboot.
Resolution: This issue was resolved by Windows updates released May 14, 2024 (KB5037782), and later. We recommend you install the latest security update for your device. It contains important improvements and issue resolutions, including this one.
Affected platforms:
Client: none

Updates to Edge browser version 123.0.2420.65, released on March 28, 2024 and later, might incorrectly install a new package (MSIX) called ‘Microsoft chat provider for Copilot in Windows’ on Windows devices. Resulting from this, the Microsoft Copilot app might appear in the Installed apps in Settings menu.
It is important to note that the Microsoft chat provider for Copilot in Windows does not execute any code or process, and does not acquire, analyze, or transmit device or environment data in any capacity.
This package is intended to prepare some Windows devices for future Windows Copilot enablement and is not intended for all devices. Although the component installed as part of this issue can cause the Microsoft Copilot app to be shown as part of the Installed apps, this component does not fully install or enable Microsoft Copilot.
As part of the upcoming resolution of this issue, the chat provider for Copilot in Windows component will be removed from devices where Microsoft Copilot is not intended to be enabled or installed. This includes most Windows Server devices.
Note: Edge browser version 124.0.2478.51, released on April 18, 2024, contains a change by which the chat provider for Copilot in Windows will not continue to be installed on every device.
Resolution: This issue is now resolved with Edge browser updates released on April 26, 2024. Edge version 124.0.2478.67 removes the package ‘Microsoft chat provider for Copilot in Windows’ from all servers affected by this issue. The ‘Microsoft Copilot’ entry will not show in the Installed apps list in the Settings menu once the Edge browser is updated. An upcoming version of Microsoft Edge is expected to remove or adjust the installation of this component on specific client devices.
Workaround: IT administrators can refer to the workaround documented in the Windows release health section in Microsoft 365 admin center or request help through Support for business.
Affected platforms:
Client: Windows 11, version 23H2, Windows 11, version 22H2, Windows 11, version 21H2, Windows 10, version 22H2
Server: Windows Server 2022

Investigating | OS Build 20348.469 KB5009555 2022-01-11 | Last updated: 2022-02-24, 17:41 PT Opened: 2022-02-24, 17:25 PT |
After installing KB5009555 or any updates released January 11, 2022 and later on your domain controllers, scenarios which rely on Read-only domain controllers (RODCs) or synthetic RODC machine accounts might fail to establish a Netlogon secure channel. RODC accounts must have a linked and compliant KRBTGT account to successfully establish a secure channel. Affected applications or network appliances, such as Riverbed SteelHead WAN Optimizers, might have issues joining domains or limitations after joining a domain.
Next Steps: Affected apps and network appliances will need an update from their developer or manufacturer to resolve this issue. Microsoft and Riverbed are presently investigating and will provide an update when more information is available.
Affected platforms:
- Server: Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012; Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1; Windows Server 2008 SP2

After installing updates released January 11, 2022 or later, apps using Microsoft .NET Framework to acquire or set Active Directory Forest Trust Information might fail, close, or you might receive an error from the app or Windows. You might also receive an access violation (0xc0000005) error. Note for developers: Affected apps use the System.DirectoryServices API.
Next Steps: This issue was resolved in the out-of-band update for the version of .NET Framework used by the app. Note: These out-of-band updates are not available from Windows Update and will not install automatically. To get the standalone package, search for the KB number for your version of Windows and .NET Framework in the Microsoft Update Catalog. You can manually import these updates into Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager. For WSUS instructions, see WSUS and the Catalog Site. For Configuration Manger instructions, see Import updates from the Microsoft Update Catalog.
