January 2020 Windows Security Patches - Login Agent Broken

​All,

The implementation of this month's set of Windows Security Updates caused our Login Process to not work.   Has anyone else experienced this issue since patching this month?:   A call to the Login object's Log In action returned with an error of ""ERROR: Exception : : The operation has timed out.".    We tried repairs of the Login Agent, start - stops, reboots, event log review of resource and server, you name it, and no luck fixing the issue.   We did end up getting things to work again by uninstalling Blue Prism and the Login Agent on the resources, rebooting, installing Blue Prism and the Login Agent again, rebooting, logging back in, ran the Logout action from the control room of a client machine, and then tried the Login process from the Control Room on a resource and it worked at that point.    That was the sequence that worked for us.   This seems to detail the patch related information that likely caused the issue:  https://cyber.dhs.gov/ed/20-02/.

Yes, we have the same. If you find which patch is the issue, can you please post it here? We will do the same.

Please disregard - I didn't notice the year on the original post, sorry!

January seems like a bad month for Blue Prism vs. Windows Security Patches!   Please see this post and reply there:  January 2021 Windows Security Patches - Breaking Single Sign-on to Blue Prism? | Blue Prism Product.   Also, I am creating a case with Blue Prism Support.
