KB5002701 contains unsigned executable
Can you elaborate a bit on how you figured this out?
And can you confirm that you have Access 2016 installed?
Thanks.
Also, can you resolve the problem by rolling back the KB?
This morning I had reports of MS Access not running for some users, ASR rules were blocking the launch. I checked the executable, and found that it was not signed, and could not be run even with elevated privileges. I found this KB was installed overnight and was for MSACCESS. I downloaded the offline versions and uncompressed them and verified that neither has a signed executable. After uninstalling the KB the MSACCESS executable is signed and working as expected.
So the problem is with Access 2016, then, correct? Not any later versions? Or do you have later versions of Access/Office installed to confirm that it's related only to the 2016 version?
I would suggest you not allow this update to be reinstalled pending further investigation. I'm going to see if I can find any other reports of similar experiences with this particular version of Access and this update. And I 'll try to find out if someone has insights on what could be the problem.
