In this article, we will list all the issues, which were fixed in the July 2017 CU. This month MSFT released two versions of it, one includes the fixes for LPs and others don’t include the fix for LPs. Now it is irrelevant what language pack you installed or what base language of the SharePoint. You just simply install both exes and it will take care of everything. Security updates are also part of the packages.

This CU brings SharePoint & Project Server fixes, Improvement and Security Updates; here is the list of fixes published by MSFT.
