Resolving “Windows update or other software not working” in Syncfusion installed machine
This problem is caused by Microsoft cumulative security update 896688 and not directly by Essential Studio. Installing Essential Studio after this update will cause ActiveX controls on some systems to fail to work in Internet Explorer.
