    Applying the latest patch 3 solved the problem. Thank you for fixing this so quickly!

    We are also experiencing the same problem as Kevin has reported. We have not yet installed the patch in production, and recommends everyone to first test this patch in an staging environment to avoid grievances with their pipelines.

    We updated but now our yaml pipelines are getting the following:

    An error occurred while loading the YAML build pipeline. Method not found: 'System.String Microsoft.TeamFoundation.DistributedTask.Pipelines.PipelineContextBase.ExpandVariables(System.String, Boolean)'.

    Any ideas?
