    It appears the Microsoft patch Tuesday now has a driver update 'Broadcom  9.8.18.1' for Windows guests.

    Tried to find info on it (driver file name, etc).   Would someone please post a link that details what it is.

    Thank you.

    That is for Windows 2012 Servers and this update installed on our LTSC Windows 10 devices. I am unable to find the download for Windows 10 devices.

    Thanks!

    This website wasn't designed. Broadcom put and infinite number of monkeys in a room and they came up with this wonder of the world wide web.

    Someone in charge is either clueless or evil. And I don't think they're clueless.

    My apologies.   My post was not clear.   Yes, it is the vmci.sys driver.   I was looking for something like 'release notes'.    What does the new driver fix?  Have any new changes / features been added.?
