First reported: 11 June 2026
Latest update: 03 July 2026

Our investigation showed that the issue was triggered by Windows update KB5094126, which impacts certain third-party applications using Microsoft Office / Word automation. This also affected Magics Word report generation.

Users experiencing this issue are recommended to upgrade to Magics 30.01.

 

Issue description

Magics Word reports may generate documents with empty or unexpanded values, instead of a fully populated report. This affects all Magics versions released before 25 June 2026 (including Magics 30.0.0). Excel reports are however not affected.

Cause

This issue was linked to Windows update KB5094126. Microsoft has also acknowledged that this update introduced issues for certain third-party applications using Office automation.

Resolution

This issue is resolved in Magics 29.1.2 and in Magics 30.01

Temporary workaround

If upgrading to Magics 29.1.2 or Magics 30.01 is not immediately possible, uninstalling Windows update KB5094126 has proven to restore reporting functionality in affected environments.

Please note:

  • this should be considered a temporary workaround
  • uninstalling security updates may have broader implications for system security and IT compliance
  • this option should be assessed together with your IT department and according to your internal policies
