Regarding KB5004442 - Manage changes for Windows DCOM Server Security Feature Bypass (CVE-2021-26414)
If the June 2021 update is installed, then I create the registry "RequireIntegrityActivationAuthenticationLevel" at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole\AppCompat setting the value to 0 (Disabled) and reboot, then when the June 14, 2022 update/patch is installed will the registry value be changed or will I need to modify the value of the registry back to 0 and reboot again?

2022-05-31T15:06:03.487+00:00 So will none of the 3 updates related to KB5004442 create/modify that registry ever? What is your source for the information above? Appreciate it!

2022-06-01T17:24:36.18+00:00 Trying to get an answer from Microsoft presently via my IT department, I don't see anywhere in the document it's stated and while you are probably correct I need to be as certain as possible as I am dealing with manufacturing production VMs. I don't have a direct connection to Microsoft, waiting to hear from my IT department if they are able to submit a ticket.
