    After the August 2026 update, some WPF applications might fail with a System.IO.FileFormatException when printing or generating PDF/XPS content that uses certain fonts, including Calibri. The issue is resolved in the September 2026 .NET Framework cumulative update and later updates.7

    How to apply the workaround Workaround

    Temporarily enable the AppContext switch in the application config file; Microsoft warns this disables security protections and may increase exposure to the vulnerabilities addressed by the update.7

  2. Resolved Affects: Everyone

    After the August 2026 update, WPF applications might fail to print or show print preview for some in-memory XPS documents registered with System.IO.Packaging.PackageStore. The issue is resolved in the October 2026 .NET Framework cumulative update and later updates.8

    How to apply the workaround Workaround

    Rebuild affected applications with an absolute package identity that does not use the pack scheme. If an application cannot be rebuilt, temporarily enable the AppContext switch; Microsoft warns that it disables security protections and may increase exposure to the vulnerabilities addressed by the update.8

    Step-by-step workaround instructions
    2 steps
    Show steps Hide steps
    Step-by-step procedure
    1. For applications that can be rebuilt, use an absolute package identity such as xpspack://<guid>.xps instead of a pack scheme identity.
    2. For applications that cannot be rebuilt, add Switch.System.Windows.DisableXpsPackageBoundaryRestriction=true to AppContextSwitchOverrides in the application config file.
