Following The Installation Of Microsoft Security Update KB5005031 The Invoke Method Now Fails

Following the installation of Microsoft Security Update KB5005031, the "Invoke Method" now fails. What is the resolution?

Issue Description: Following the installation of Microsoft Security Update KB5005031, the "Invoke Method" now fails.

This issue was observed on a Windows 10 v1909 (10.0.18363 N/A Build 18363) for another customer.

That machine has “News and interests“ feed enabled, and this was causing BringToForeground to fail.

Resolution: The issue stops after the “News and interests“ feed is disabled.

This can be solved from the following Group Policy,

  • Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > News and interests > Enable news and interests on the taskbar (must be set to Disabled) .
