What is new about the cumulative update KB4568831?
First of all, Microsoft disabled the RemotFX vGPU feature due toa security vulnerability related toCVE-2020-1036andKB4570006.
If you install this update and want to start a virtual machine with RemoteFX vGPU enabled, it will fail and you will receive an error message:
And if you want to enable the RemoteFX vGPU again, you will receive a message saying that the adapter is not supported anymore.
