We may only be a week out from September's "Patch Tuesday," but Microsoft has another batch of Windows 10 fixes at the ready. A pair of updates began rolling out today, bringing fresh fixes for PCs on the April 2018 Update and the Fall Creators Update. As usual, there are no new features included with these releases, but they do correct some nagging issues (via Neowin).

For PCs on the April 2018 Update, you'll be bumped to build 17134.286 with the following fix:

  • Addresses a Microsoft Intune issue that occurs after installing any of the updates released between July 24, 2018 and September 11, 2018. Windows no longer recognizes the Personal Information exchange (PFX) certificate that's used for authenticating to a Wi-Fi or VPN connection. As a result, Microsoft Intune takes a long time to deliver user profiles because it doesn't recognize that the required certificate is on the device.

If your PC is still on the Fall Creators Update, you will see your build number jump to 16299.666 with a pair of bugs being squashed:

  • Addresses an issue that may prevent a VPN connection from establishing for some users that are using VPN with IKEv2. The connection fails with the error, "Remote Access Error 809."
  • Addresses a Microsoft Intune issue that occurs after installing any of the updates released between July 24, 2018 and September 11, 2018. Windows no longer recognizes the Personal Information exchange (PFX) certificate that's used for authenticating to a Wi-Fi or VPN connection. As a result, Microsoft Intune takes a long time to deliver user profiles because it doesn't recognize that the required certificate is on the device.

There don't appear to be any other cumulative updates shipping out for prior versions of Windows 10 just yet, but it wouldn't be surprising to see more issued before next month's "Patch Tuesday" rolls around. In the meantime, you can grab these latest update via Windows Update now.
