Maybe it's edge cases?
We're running 11.1.7 FP 6 on Win Svr 2016 and we got that patch as part of a cumulative update. PowerPlay Server runs on that same server. Transformer is running on a Win Srv 2022 server.
Knock on wood, it hasn't caused any problems with Transformer or PowerPlay!

Hi Todd,
If you are a supported customer, you can download IBM CognosTransformer 12.0.2-23120816 or/and IBM Cognos PowerPlay Server 64-bit 12.0.2-23101618 / IBM Cognos PowerPlay Server 64-bit 11.2.4-22100709.
I don't know which v11.x version you are using.
Best regards,

If you are utilizing the legacy Cognos Transformer or Analysis Studio tools, be advised that the Windows Server security update from January 2024 (KB5034127) will render these tools inoperable in Cognos 11.X environments. Because these tools have been end-of-lifed, no IBM fix packs will be available to fix this problem.
Be sure to avoid applying the Window Server patch until you migrate to a new technology.
