Summary

Microsoft products Internet Explorer and Edge were having trouble maintaining HTTPS sessions with a customer's website due to issues with the handling of TLS session tickets by the SChannel security package, which provides TLS functionality for many Microsoft applications. The problem was fixed after Cloudflare reported it to Microsoft, who then released software updates for affected platforms.
