SymptomWorkaround
You might encounter issues when using Windows Server container images for this update.For more information on this issue, please see KB4542617.

Symptoms:


​You might encounter issues using the Windows Server Container Image for the February 11, 2020 security update when used on a Windows Server container host that is not updated to the same security update.

Symptoms include:

  • When you run the command “docker run” you might not receive output and it might become non-responsive.

  • Your Windows Server Container in Kubernetes does not reach the “running” state

  • You receive the error, “docker: Error response from daemon: container <id>  encountered an error during Start: failure in a Windows system call: The wait operation timed out. (0x102).”

Workaround:


The 2B February 11, 2020 security update for Windows Server container image was released but compatibility issues were found. While we investigate this issue, current pull requests using floating tags for Windows Server container images (such as ltsc2019, 1809, 1909, etc.) will temporarily default to pull the container images with the January 14, 2020 security update.

Mitigation: If you have already pulled the February 11, 2020 security update for container images and encounter issues, you will need to do one of the following:

  • We strongly recommend to update the container host to the February 11, 2020 security update for Windows (note: both the container and host need to be on the same Windows version, i.e. 1809, 1903, etc.)

  • Re-run the pull command or re-run your automation pipeline which will automatically pull the container image released January 14, 2020. Note We recommend you do not change your pull tags or automation at this time.
