Microsoft released the Patch Tuesday Update for Windows 8.1 ( KB5014011 ) and Windows 7 ( KB5014012 ) today, as it is the second Tuesday of the month. Installing them will protect your system from certain vulnerabilities, but both also come with known issues. Here’s what each release contains and their known issues.
Windows 8.1
Improvements
This cumulative security update contains the improvements that are part of update KB5012670 (released April 12, 2022) and new fixes for the following issues:
- The Key Distribution Center (KDC) code incorrectly returns a KDC_ERR_TGT_REVOKED error message during a domain controller shutdown.
- After you install the January 2022 Windows Update or a later Windows Update on a Primary Domain Controller Emulator (PDCe), enumerating or changing name suffix routing using the Netdom.exe snap-in or Active Directory Domains and Trusts snap-in may fail and you will receive the following error message: “Insufficient system resources to run the requested service.”
- The primary domain controller (PDC) for the root domain incorrectly logs warning and error events to the syslog when attempting to scan outbound-only trusts.

Some operations, such as renaming, performed on files or folders on a Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) may fail with “STATUS_BAD_IMPERSONATION_LEVEL (0xC00000A5)” error. This happens when you perform an operation on the CSV owner node from a process that does not have administrative rights. |
Perform one of the following actions: Perform the operation from a process with administrator rights. Perform the operation from a host that does not own the CSV. Microsoft is working on a solution and will provide an update in a future release. |
After installing updates that were released on January 11, 2022 or later updates, applications that use the Microsoft .NET Framework to get or set Active Directory forest trust information may crash, close, or you may receive an error message from the application or Windows. You may also receive an Access Violation Error (0xc0000005). |
To resolve this issue manually, apply unscheduled updates for the version. NET Framework used by the application. |
