Microsoft update KB3086255 removes Safedisc support in Windows NT 6.x OSs

28.09.2015, 10:31

After Microsoft completely dropped the support for Safedisc and (old) SecuROM in Windows 10,
all NT 6.x OSs are next in line (at least concerning Safedisc).

MS15-097: Description of the security update for the graphics component in Windows: September 8, 2015 - Microsoft Support

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3086255

Resolves vulnerabilities in Windows, Microsoft Office, and Microsoft Lync that could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted document or goes to an untrusted webpage that contains embedded OpenType fonts.

If you install this update you won't be able to play your Safedisc games anymore
...with or without DAEMON Tools

At least there are workarounds such as using the Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider tool.
Or just skip/uninstall the update.
