Why does there appear to be a duplicate Security Update after 8.4.0 installation?


  • Question
    Why does the security update that I previously installed on 8.3.X  (as shown in the Installed Update tab) reappear on the Available Updates tab together with the 8.4.0 installation?

  • Answer
    8.4.0 does not support the format of the previously installed security update and has reset the system to use security update #52. Please make sure to install the latest security update after the 8.4.0 installation.

    Note: You will see both security updates afterwards in the Installed Updates tab, but from the logs you can see that they are actually different (e.g. one is SECURITY_UPDATE830000053 and the second one is SECURITY_UPDATE840000053).
