Monthly rollup KB4486563 packs one additional change. Namely, it adds top-level domain support to HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) Preload for Microsoft Edge andInternet Explorer 11.

Speaking of Internet Explorer, if you’re still using this browser, you should switch to a modern one soon. Microsoft recently asked users toreplace this old browserwith a modern one.

As far as the known issues are concerned, you may experience some Event Viewer problems after installing thesepatches, as well as some VM restore issues.

UPDATE: Some users are still experiencing database error even after applying these updates. They report they’re still getting ‘Database not recognized’ and ‘Description not found’ errors.

After the KB4486563 update I have the following Problem (even after KB4486565 was applied):– MS Access 97 MDB– Table with 130 fields– Description (not Caption) properties of for all fields have between 50 and 150 charactersWhen updating any field value using DAO 3.6 and JET 4.0 from VB6, I get the error 3049 “Database not recognized” (same error as with KB4480955/KB4480966 when field names were too large).I also get Errors with JetComp.exe or DAO.CompactDatabase or JRO.CompactDatabase (Error message: “‘Description’ not found”)Once I reduce then Length of the field descriptions to 65 chars or less, then everything works as expected.This Problem only happens with Long descriptions AND many fields. With few fields and Long description there are no Errors
