Microsoft has released the June Patch Tuesday updates for Windows 7 (KB5014742) and Windows 8.1 (KB5014746). Both updates bring improvements to their respective operating systems but also carry issues that you may have to use a workaround on. Without further ado, here’s what’s new.

Windows 8.1
Improvements
This security-only update includes new improvements for the following issue:
- Printing to a NUL port from a Low Integrity Level (LowIL) process application could cause printing failures.
- Addresses an elevation of privilege (EOP) vulnerability under CVE-2022-30154 for the Microsoft File Server Shadow Copy Agent Service. To become protected and functional, you must install the June 14, 2022 or later Windows update on both the application server and the file server. The application server runs the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)-aware application that stores data on the remote Server Message Block 3.0 (or higher) shares on a file server. The file server hosts the file shares. If you don’t install the update on both machine roles, backup operations carried out by applications, which previously worked, might fail. For such failure scenarios, the Microsoft File Server Shadow Copy Agent Service will log FileShareShadowCopyAgent event 1013 on the file server. For more information, see KB5015527.

Unlike the Windows 11 and Windows 10 updates which will be delivered through Windows Update, the updates for Windows 7 (download) and Windows 8.1 (download) are best being manually downloaded as they won’t come through Windows Update. You can also configure Windows Server Update Services to get the updates.
