Microsoft confirms bugs in KB4480970
Well, following the wave of user complaints, the Redmond giant has officially acknowledged that KB4480970 is indeed causing three really annoying issues.
- Network interface controller won’t work
Microsoft explains that after you apply thisupdate, the network interface controller may stop working on some client software configurations. This occurs because of an issue related to a missing file, oem.inf. The exact problematic configurations are currently unknown.
- Error 0xc004f200
In some cases, thisupdatemay trigger KMS Activation error,“Not Genuine” 0xc004f200.
3. Windows Server 2008 remote access issues
And the third problem officially acknowledged by Microsoft concerns access shares on Windows Server 2008. Mores specifically, local users who are part of the local “Administrators“ group may not be able to remotely access shares on Windows Server 2008 R2 andWindows 7machines after installing the January 8th, 2019security updates. This does not affect domain accounts in the local “Administrators” group.
How to fix KB4480970 issues
Microsoft was kind enough to also post some workarounds for two of thebugslisted above. Unfortunately, there is no workaround available for error 0xc004f200 but Microsoft said its engineers are investigating the issue.

How to fix Windows Server 2008 issues

Of course, if nothing worked, you can simply uninstall the update.
