It’s Patch Tuesday, which means Microsoft is rolling out fixes and improvements for currently supported versions of Windows 10.
[lwptoc depth=”1″ title=”Patch Tuesday Changelog” width=”40%” float=”right”]
This month’s Patch Tuesday contains an important note. Starting in July 2020, all Windows Updates will disable the RemoteFX vGPU feature because of a security vulnerability. For more information about the vulnerability, see CVE-2020-1036 and KB4570006. After you install this update, attempts to start virtual machines (VM) that have RemoteFX vGPU enabled will fail, and messages such as the following will appear:
- “The virtual machine cannot be started because all the RemoteFX-capable GPUs are disabled in Hyper-V Manager.”
- “The virtual machine cannot be started because the server has insufficient GPU resources.”
If you re-enable RemoteFX vGPU, a message similar to the following will appear:
- “We no longer support the RemoteFX 3D video adapter. If you are still using this adapter, you may become vulnerable to security risk. Learn more (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2131976)”

However, you can allow sites on the affected non-standard port by using the parameter –explicitly-allowed-ports=####, where #### is the port you require. For example, when you need to access a website on port 6667, type c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe–explicitly-allowed-ports=6667 We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release. |
