Microsoft Lifts Update Block On Windows 7 With Symantec AV - silversurfer - 29 August 19

Quote:Microsoft has raised the safeguard hold put in place to block Symantec or Norton antivirus users from updating their Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 devices.
 
The update block added on August 14 was caused by Windows updates code signed using SHA-2 certificates being deleted during installation on Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 systems where Symantec and Norton AVs were installed, stopping the Windows installation from booting.
 
"The software may not correctly identify files included in the update as code signed by Microsoft, putting the device at risk for a delayed or incomplete update," says Microsoft in the known issue's description.

This change applies to the following updates:
• KB4512514 (August Preview of Monthly Rollup),
• KB4512486 (August Security-only update),
• KB4512506 (August Monthly Rollup).
