Please see message below from Microsoft as seen on their site:

In reference to Windows security updates released January 3, 2018, and antivirus software.
Microsoft customers will not receive the January 2018 security updates (or any subsequent security updates) and will not be protected from security vulnerabilities unless their antivirus software vendor sets the following registry key:

Key=“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE” Subkey=“SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\QualityCompat” Value=“cadca5fe-87d3-4b96-b7fb-a231484277cc” Type="REG_DWORD”
Data="0x00000000”

Here’s the link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4072699/january-3-2018-windows-security-updates-and-antivirus-software

Does comodo plan to roll this out soon? It would be quite tasking to administer this to hundreds of system especially those not connected to a domain.

Hi @chales ,

On your ITSM go to Config Templates>Import then go to Device list>select the affected device>run procedure.

Please keep in mind that you’ll need to click ‘Ready for Review’ and ‘Approve’ to be able to run it.
