Symantec provides a patchĪ week ago, antivirus vendor Symantec released a patch to fix the update problem under Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2. I reported in the blog post Symantec/Norton blocks Windows Updates (SHA-2). The reason for this measure was that the security solutions could not cope with the changed signing of Windows updates (since August 2019, these have only been signed with SHA-2). The reason for this was that the antivirus solutions from these vendor supposed to be not compatible with the new updates and could have potentially damaged Windows.Īs a precaution, Microsoft has therefore, in consultation with Symantec, blocked the delivery of updates for affected machines. However, if the users installed antivirus solutions from Norton or Symantec, the delivery of the updates was suspended.
As of August 13, 2019, Microsoft released security updates for Windows 7 SP1 (and Windows Server 2008 R2).
