Has Microsoft acknowledged the problem yet? It's still not listed as a known issue on the update page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4592438/windows-

  That doesn't mean anything, I ran into a bug after 2004 that meant DPAPI protected secrets would be randomly corrupted. It was an incredibly frustrating bug that cost me a bunch of data. After a few months without progress, I ended up debugging the problem myself and mailing them an analysis. It's still not fixed, and not on that known issues page. I wrote a twitter thread about it here: https://twitter.com/taviso/status/1310619801606184960 https://twitter.com/taviso/status/1310619801606184960 There is an office kb article about it, because it turned out it also broke Outlook. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/outlook-and-other-apps-won-t-remember-password-after-windows-updates-1e5a8a80-7112-440a-a18c-be2e50047a75 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/outlook-and-other...

    I really enjoy reading abour your findings, thanks for sharing! I would love to see a how-to for the way you debug these things with IDA, as otherwise I consider myself good at debugging, but have never even tried to peak under the hood of Windows.
