PLEASE FIX.  I can connect to VPN but cannot connect to any servers in my work network.  When uninstalling KB4056892 it works fine but Microsoft automatically reinstalls it every day with no option of hiding it anymore.

Are you still having the same issues after updating to one of the client's mention in the knowledge base article?

I can't download the patches because I don't have a login.  We used to be able to download patches without needing authorization codes.  Extremely disappointed that Pulse Secure have decided to block customers of their product without a current support package.

Is anyone else seeing 1603 errors when attempting to update Pulse Secure?

Trouble with KB4056895, Security Rollup. Removed and rebooted and was then able to connect...

I can confirm that the Pulse Secure Article posted by @Olivn solved the issue for me (kudos to you Olivn). After a rollout of updates by my company earlier this week, I was getting the "Your connection has failed...", "Rejected by server..." error message whenever I'd try to log in. I'm using version 5.3R3.0-B1021 of the Pulse Secure client on Windows 10 x64 version1607. After the updates, KB4056890 seems to have been the culprit to the login issue. According to this article, "Microsoft yanks buggy Windows Meltdown/Spectre patches for AMD computers", it's supposed to have contained the rushed patch for the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerablities.

The quick of it - I installed KB4057142 (since I'm using Win 10 v1607), and now all is well in the world. Try doing a windows update to get the latest patch to the patch. Or, grab the update specific to your OS version and architecture.

I have this problem on my Pulse VPN client.

Using Windows 10 1703, and the hotfixes mentioned here are either not installed on my machine or don't apply to my machine.

Any pointers to help resolve the problem is greatly appreciated.
