Hi,
All of our artifact downloads have suddenly started failing in Azure DevOps release pipelines. The error message is RtlDecompressBuffer 0xC0000242.
How do we diagnose and rectify this issue?

Hi Simon!
Were you able to resolve the above issue ?
Thanks
Sylendra
Not yet. I have raised an SR with MS. Do you have a similar experience?
Yes, I'm having the same issue. Could you able to resolve that issue ?
Not yet. Still with MS support...
I have moved this to https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Artifact-download-error-RtlDecompressBuf/10514447 as suggested by @Naveenommi
Do you have any update or any solution on this ?
I paid for Microsoft support, but no help yet whatsoever!
You can solve this by creating a new Deployment group :
https://dev.azure.com/xxx/yyy/_machinegroup
You got a new powershell code, and you go to the VM where you need to deploy.
Execute the script and you will have a new agent with the last version
Then you have to update you release pipeline with the new deployment group
That is working for me
