It’s been a month since our last update to the client and our October update brings one fix. Kb 4461446 takes the Office 2013-based client from 15.0.5065|5067.1000 to 15.0.5071.1000.
What’s Fixed
- Kb 4464953 Skype for Business 2015 (Lync 2013) freezes when you receive many emoticons
What’s New / Changed
Nothing documented.
Known Issues
Nothing documented.
Pre-Req’s
It’s all good if you’ve been diligent in your patching.
If however your patching isn’t to current you’ll need to check you have *all* of these pre-req’s. The Office 2013 SP1 requirement still applies if you’re using Outlook 2010. (Lync 2013 in all of its flavours – e.g. Lync Basic – is still a component of Office 2013).

Revision History
4th October 2018: This is the initial post. That you @GuyBachar for alerting me to this one.
– G.
Did MS publish the wrong version number? Am confused.
The KB article https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4461446/october-2-2018-update-for-skype-for-business-2015-lync-2013-kb4461446 states
“The version number of this update is 15.0.5075.1000.” but in Help > About I see 15.0.5071.1000
Same for lync.exe, only Lync.lynchtmlconv.exe shows 15.0.5075.1000
I also noticed it is not published on the list of Skype For Business/Lync updates:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/SkypeForBusiness/sfb-client-updates#skype-for-business-2015-client-updates
(last update there is still KB 4022225 July 2018)
