KB5009546: Applies to: Windows 10, version 1607, all editions Windows Server 2016, all editions
Symptom
After installing updates released April 22, 2021 or later, an issue occurs that affects versions of Windows Server that are in use as a Key Management Services (KMS) host. Client devices running Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 and Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2016 might fail to activate. This issue only occurs when using a new Customer Support Volume License Key (CSVLK).
Note This does not affect activation of any other version or edition of Windows.
Client devices that are attempting to activate and are affected by this issue might receive the error, “Error: 0xC004F074. The Software Licensing Service reported that the computer could not be activated. No Key Management Service (KMS) could be contacted. Please see the Application Event Log for additional information.”
Event Log entries related to activation are another way to tell that you might be affected by this issue. Open Event Viewer on the client device that failed activation and go to Windows Logs > Application. If you see only event ID 12288 without a corresponding event ID 12289, this means one of the following:
The KMS client could not reach the KMS host.
The KMS host did not respond.
The client did not receive the response.
After installing this update, IP Security (IPSEC) connections that contain a Vendor ID might fail. VPN connections using Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) or IP security Internet Key Exchange (IPSEC IKE) might also be affected.
Workaround
We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
To mitigate the issue for some VPNs, you can disable Vendor ID within the server-side settings.
Note Not all VPN servers have the option to disable Vendor ID from being used.
We are presently investigating and will provide an update in an upcoming release.

KB5009624: Applies to: Windows Server 2012 Windows Embedded 8 Standard
Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 have reached the end of mainstream support and are now in extended support. Starting in July 2020, there will no longer be optional, non-security releases (known as “C” releases) for this operating system. Operating systems in extended support have only cumulative monthly security updates (known as the “B” or Update Tuesday release).
For information about the various types of Windows updates, such as critical, security, driver, service packs, and so on, please see the following article. To view other notes and messages, see the Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2
