Sync Stops After Updates

My Akruto sync stopped recently, not for the first time. I assumed that, as usual, I would have to reconfigure it from scratch but this time it didn’t work. I spent hours and hours but eventually it dawned on me that it had last worked before I shut down my Windows PC to go on holiday and it was possible that at that time it installed some updates. So I uninstalled everything that had been applied around that time and now it works.

In an ideal world I would have uninstalled them one by one to see which one had done the damage but I was desperate.

The following are what I uninstalled :

Update for Office 2003 (KB2543854): APDATA
Update for Outlook 2003 Junk E-mail Filter (KB2863822): OUTLFLTR
Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack Service Pack 3 (SP3)

The above are very unlikely to be the culprits.

KB5044033 This one has a fair bit of bad press online
KB5046633
KB5045935

This was on Windows 11 Home edition and an Android phone.
