Windows 10: Windows Security Update KB4521862 KB4519338 is removing HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH under SYSTEM...

OmerGagne · Nov 6, 2019

After security update from Microsoft, the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH folders are not anymore under System variables.

Could it be the updates that removed these variables?

I also downloaded the SURT 6.1 KB947821 v27. The problem has been going on now for about 2 months. (whenever the issue with the updates comes to mind I am never near my pc). Thank you in advance.

Cumulative Update KB4519338 Windows 10 v1809 Build 17763.805 - Oct. 8 Win Update

October 8, 2019 - KB4519338 (OS Build 17763.805)

Applies to: Windows 10 version 1809, Windows Server version 1809, Windows Server 2019 all versions

Note Follow @WindowsUpdate to find out when new content is published to the release information dashboard.

Starting with update KB4497934, we are introducing functionality that allows you to decide when to install a feature update. You control when you get a feature update while simultaneously keeping your devices up to date. Feature updates that are available for eligible devices will appear in a separate module on the Windows Update page (Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update). If you would like to get an available update right away, select Download and install now. To find out more about this feature, please go to this blog.
When Windows 10 devices are at, or within several months of reaching, end of service, Windows Update will begin to automatically initiate a feature update. This keeps those devices supported and receiving the monthly updates that are critical to device security and ecosystem health.

Note This release also contains updates for Microsoft HoloLens (OS Build 17763.806) released October 8, 2019. Microsoft will release an update directly to the Windows Update Client to improve Windows Update reliability on Microsoft HoloLens that have not updated to this most recent OS Build.

ePub support ending in Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge will end support for e-books that use the .epub file extension over the next several months. For more information, see Download an ePub app to keep reading e-books.

For more information about the various types of Windows updates, such as critical, security, driver, service packs, and so on, please see the following article.

Highlights

Updates to improve security when using Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge.

Updates for verifying user names and passwords.

Improvements and fixes

This security update includes quality improvements. Key changes include:

Addresses an issue in the Keyboard Lockdown Subsystem that may not filter key input correctly.

Addresses an issue in security bulletin CVE-2019-1318 that may cause client or server computers that don’t support Extended Master Secret (EMS) RFC 7627 to have increased connection latency and CPU utilization. This issue occurs while performing full Transport Layer Security (TLS) handshakes from devices that don’t support EMS, especially on servers. EMS support has been available for all the supported versions of Windows since calendar year 2015 and is being incrementally enforced by the installation of the October 8, 2019 and later monthly updates.

Addresses an issue with applications and printer drivers that utilize the Windows JavaScript engine (jscript.dll) for processing print jobs.

Security updates to Windows Shell, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Scripting Engine, Microsoft Edge, Windows App Platform and Frameworks, Windows Cryptography, Windows Authentication, Windows Kernel, and Windows Server.

If you installed earlier updates, only the new fixes contained in this package will be downloaded and installed on your device.

For more information about the resolved security vulnerabilities, please refer to the Security Update Guide.
