Jan 26 - Feb 15 Hot-Fix Weekly Release - Windows Client

Hello Everyone,

Due to the Spring Festival holiday, our blog posting has not been very stable in the past 3 weeks. Now we have come back and hope all of you also had a good time. :-)

From the last report, there are 17 hot-fix KB articles for Windows Client which have been released in the past 3 weeks. In these articles, 13 are public released and 4 are private articles which need your special credential to read and are marked with *. After I checked list, I found there are several important or high-impact hot-fixes. Therefore, I have highlighted them in the KB list. I hope it can benefit you.
