For Microsoft Windows 10 versions Gold, 1511, 1607, 1703, and 1709, update to a newer version that includes the fix for this issue. For Microsoft Windows Server 2016, update to a newer version that includes the fix for this issue. For Microsoft Windows Server, version 1709, update to a newer version that includes the fix for this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the CredSSP protocol until a patch is available.
