Hot on the heels of – and fixing a bug introduced *in* – November’s, we now have a December update to the Lync 2013 client. Read all about kb2910927 here.
This update takes the Lync 2013 Client to 15.0.4675.1000/1002.
What’s Fixed?
- kb3017596 Sharing session stops in Lync 2013 when the display resolution of a shared monitor is changed
- kb3004595 E.164 normalized telephone numbers are not displayed in Lync 2013 contact cards or the “Call” menu
What’s New?
Nothing that I can see.
Known Issues
Screen-readers appear to be an ongoing problem – unchanged from the known issues list of previous updates:
- 2898357 Screen readers cannot read aloud keystrokes during a Lync 2013 application or desktop sharing session in Windows

The Install Process
I’ve converted to using Tom’s great “install-hotfixes” PowerShell module to install my updates these days. Here’s the output. Note that I’ve dropped ALL of the pre-req’s in the one temporary folder on my desktop (including the old ones I already believe I have installed) and am letting them fight it out:
Reboot?
Alas, yes – although the KB says no. The MSO update set the reboot flag apparently. (Click the image for a more legible view).
