If you have that update - the fix was in the Windows Update patch set that went out after that as KB4345421

Go through the Windows Update History and list of KBs to see what has been installed with respect to the above two KB’s

If it is not the windows update, it could be security software that is blocking out some 127.0.0.1 requests made by the transcoder

You can also check the OS Build
Build 17134.165 is bad
Build 17134.167 is good
