Hi @gleeups we are seeing a strange anomaly with this most recent update of MSRT. If you access the following Microsoft site for the updated MSRT, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=9905, you’ll see that although Microsoft states that the file is Windows-KB890830-x64-V5.138.exe in the description, it is actually pointing to the following download URL. Notice the file referenced in the download URL which references Windows-KB890830-x64-V5.137.exe.exe. As soon as I get this clarified with our Microsoft counterparts, we will publish this content. Apologies for the delay but this discrepancy would only cause additional confusion and doubt by our BigFix customers if we publish it in the current state. Thank you, Gus.
