No sound since up grade to an Asus x555LA laptop. MS technicians have tried to help without success. Any suggestions?

Services missing after applying April 2018 Update (1803) to Windows 10

Multiple customers have reached out to me because a Windows Service that I have made is missing after applying April 2018 Update (1803) to Windows 10.

Some customers have also reported that other services are missing, like Cisco VPN client.



I’m able to repro using the following:

• Install Windows 10 Pro x64 version 1709 (Fall Creators Update) from MSDN.
• Run the installer for my service, and verify that it’s in the service-list.
  
  I have also tried to manually create the service using SC / InstallUtil, with the same outcome.

• Restart the machine.
• (Re-)validate that the service exists, and that it works as intended.
• Update the machine with the newest updates, including 1803 (April 2018 Update).
• Restart the machine as part of the update.

Result: The application-files still exist, however, the service is no longer registered.



Running the installer again, or re-creating the service manually using SC/InstallUtil works.



Have Microsoft put new rules in place for services or what’s happening?

The service itself is a very basic service with a valid digital signature.

It is installed in the users local AppData-folder (%localappdata%).





The following updates are applied in step 5:

• Feature update to Windows 10, version 1803
  
• Security update for Adobe Flash Player: June 7, 2018 [KB 4287903]
  
• Definition Update for Windows Defender Antivirus [KB 2267602]
• Update for Windows Defender antimalware platform [KB 4052623]
• Definition Update for Windows Defender Antivirus [KB 2267602]
  
• Remove specific prevalent malware with Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool [KB 890830]

 

After updating to the Windows 10 April 2018 build (1803) the DNS Suffix Search List behavior seems to have changed

After being updated to the Windows 10 April 2018 build (1803) the DNS Suffix Search List behavior seems to have changed and is no longer a combination of my Primary DNS Suffix (my Windows domain name) followed by my Connection-specific DNS Suffix (previous
default Windows behavior).

This appears to be related to Windows 10 April 2018 build (1803) change in honoring DHCP option 119. All previous versions of the Windows DHCP client ignored option 119 but it now appears build 1803 honors this setting.

Can anyone confirm?
