No issues on my end. Have a virtual machine and a laptop with the update and they are just fine. Didn't see anyone mention it on a Google search either. Sometime Windows updates can spur a hardware ID check, or maybe there was a driver update in your install that triggered it. There is a good chance you can simply tell Windows to activate from the System page and it will go back to normal.
