I have actually noticed the same. Unfortunately in this state you can't 
use WPKG to fix up the issue (ie. uninstalling the bad patch). So manual 
internvention is needed.

In fact I did not remove the patch but instead found another 
work-around. For me it worked to use the domain prefix in username 
field. For example use "EXAMPLE\wpkguser" rather than just "wpkguser". 
This also explains why I never run into that issue on domain environments.
But when using local deployment or just a NAS share it's also required 
to prefix the domain. Or server name like "nas-name\username".

I also don't know the exact change done by Microsot which could have 
caused this.

best regards,
Rainer
