- Check Point Endpoint Security is a software program developed by Check Point, Inc. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background.
- CVE-2019-8454: Prior to Check Point Endpoint Security Client for Windows E80.96, a local attacker could create a hard-link between a file to which Endpoint Security Client for Windows writes and another BAT file. Then, by impersonating the WPAD server, the attacker could write BAT commands into that file to be run later by the user or the system.

Is it right that I should postpone 1703 Creators Update until CheckPoint provide solution?
Are there any other alternatives (I use password based authentication)?
UPDATE
Update 1604 for Configuration Manager Technical Preview – Available Now! says:
VPN for Windows 10 – You can now deploy VPN profiles with 3rd-party providers to Windows 10 devices managed with ConfigMgr client. These providers include Pulse Secure, F5 Edge, Dell SonicWall, and Checkpoint.
What does that mean?
UPDATE 2 I tried Check Point Capsule VPN available for Windows 10 but not succeed to connect.
Latest available E80.65 version also is banned by Microsoft Update. I postpone update until solution become available.

According to Checkpoint Support Center, Windows 10 1703 (AKA Creators Update) is officially supported with Check Point Endpoint Security Client version E80.70.
Fall Creators Update Windows 10 1709 is still not supported.
You can download Checkpoint VPN client E80.70 from here.
Jumpstart free download for windows. If an unsupported version of the Client is installed it may be the reason to Windows 10 Upgrade 1703 errors, like this one that I got from System Center 1702:0xC1900208(-1047526904)

What's New in E80.70
This release supports all Software Blades and features of previous releases. It adds support for Windows 10 Creators Update (version 1703) and support for new VPN and improved features.
