[Important] Regarding PlayDRM Authentication Trouble [Follow-up]

Thank you for your patronage of Dlsite.
There have been some developments in regard to the issue of PlayDRM authentication that was previously announced.

It has been confirmed that installing the Windows Update "KB5050009," which was released January 14th 2025, will cause PlayDRM authentication to cease functioning normally.
It has also been confirmed that, as previously announced, uninstalling "KB5050009" will resolve that problem.
However, "KB5050009" is an important Windows Update for the security of the operating system. We thus advise that users exercise caution, and make the decision to uninstall based on their own research, judgement, and with self-responsibility.
For further details, please refer to [ How to uninstall a Windows Update ].

In the cases below, please contact us via the DLsite User Helpdesk.

  • I uninstalled "KB5050009," but it did not resolve the problem.
  • I am having difficulty uninstalling "KB5050009."

Make certain to select "Product Troubleshooting" and "About work authentication" on the contact form, and include your 20 digit Support Serial Key in the main body of your inquiry.
* Information on how to confirm the Support Serial Key is available [ HERE ]

We are continuing our investigation on the PlayDRM authentication problem in hopes of a fundamental fix.
However, please note that it is taking us significant time to make progress. We thus ask for your understanding of the circumstances, and thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation.
