FYI. This could affect any EAP wireless profile configuration for Windows 10 
using user profile. This update does not affect devices being configured 
manually as manual configuration applies to system profile.

Subject: Windows 10 Creators Update

As Windows 10 Creators Update notices to upgrade are being rolled out to 
devices please be advised of important changes to supporting these devices.

If you’ve deployed JoinNow MultiOS to Windows devices by default, Wi-Fi 
settings are installed onto the device using a user profile vs. a system 
profile. With Windows 10 Build version 15063 and higher the ability to input 
Wi-Fi settings via a user profile will fail and user specific data is not 
saved. The Microsoft EAP team is aware of this bug but until a fix is made 
devices will not connect using user profiles. SecureW2 has made timely changes 
to detect this issue and configure and connect the device by utilizing a system 
profile until such time Microsoft can fix the issue.

The drawback of system profiles is that changes to security settings in the 
profile can be edited by others sharing the device. Since the vast majority of 
BYOD devices are not shared devices this should not impact most customers. The 
best practice however is still to utilize user profiles whenever possible.

In order to support Windows 10 Creators Update, it is important that customers 
republish and update their SecureW2 software to release 5.2.0 GA3 or greater. 
Please contact the SecureW2 support team if you have further questions or need 
assistance.
