I have recently encountered the question related to Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (1709) breaking Sitecore Commerce 8.2.1 Update 2 installs. I had a perfectly working Sitecore Commerce 8.2.1 Update 2 site. When I installed the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, I started getting the error below. When I rolled back the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, the site started working again. Has anyone found a cause or fix for this issue - other than rolling back the Windows 10 Update?
