After installing updates released July 13, 2021 on domain controllers (DCs) in your environment, printers, scanners, and multifunction devices which are not compliant with section 3.2.1 of RFC 4556 spec, might fail to print when using smart-card (PIV) authentication.
Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 21H1; Windows 10, version 20H2; Windows 10, version 2004; Windows 10, version 1909; Windows 10, version 1809; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2016; Windows 10, version 1607; Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB; Windows 8.1; Windows 7 SP1
  • Server: Windows Server, version 20H2; Windows Server, version 2004; Windows Server, version 1909; Windows Server, version 1809; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012; Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1; Windows Server 2008 SP2

After installing KB4601318, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) apps might close, or you may receive an error similar to:
Exception Info: System.NullReferenceException at System.Windows.Interop.HwndMouseInputProvider.HasCustomChrome(System.Windows.Interop.HwndSource, RECT ByRef)
at System.Windows.Interop.HwndMouseInputProvider.GetEffectiveClientRect(IntPtr)
at System.Windows.Interop.HwndMouseInputProvider.PossiblyDeactivate(IntPtr, Boolean)
at System.Windows.Interop.HwndMouseInputProvider.Dispose()
This occurs when disposing an HwndSource whose RootVisual is null, a situation that arises in Visual Studio when docking or splitting windows, and could arise in other apps.
Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1803; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2016; Windows 10, version 1607
  • Server: Windows Server, version 1803; Windows Server 2016
Workaround: To mitigate this issue when using Microsoft Visual Studio, update to the latest version. This issue is resolved starting with the following releases:
Developers can mitigate this issue in their own apps by setting two AppContext switches using one of the methods described in AppContext Class (System) under the heading “AppContext for library consumers”. The switches are named Switch.System.Windows.Interop.MouseInput.OptOutOfMoveToChromedWindowFix and Switch.System.Windows.Interop.MouseInput.DoNotOptOutOfMoveToChromedWindowFix; both should be set to “true”. The first switch avoids the crash, but re-introduces the issue addressed in this update. The second switch is currently ignored, but will be recognized in a future .NET update that addresses the issue for the null-reference crash; it restores the behavior originally intended to be addressed in this update.
For example, using the app.config file method to apply the workaround at application scope:
<AppContextSwitchOverrides value='Switch.System.Windows.Interop.MouseInput.OptOutOfMoveToChromedWindowFix=true; Switch.System.Windows.Interop.MouseInput.DoNotOptOutOfMoveToChromedWindowFix=true ' />
Next steps: We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
