Are you sure that this behavior is related to those Windows Updates? I
really doubt that this issue has anything to do with those updates. Does it
reproduce on any other non-domain machine with Windows 7 or Windows 8.1?

I can guess that by "Windows authentication" you mean Integrated Windows
Authentication <https://www.visualsvn.com/server/features/windows-auth/>
(IWA). Right? Have you recently switched to using IWA? The behavior could
occur if you switched to IWA from Basic authentication. Basic auth will
prompt users for credentials, but IWA does not.

In such case, you should use Windows Credential Manager on non-domain
machines. The users should put their account's credentials to access
VisualSVN Server into Windows Credential Manager:

   1. Start *Control Panel | Credential Manager*.
   2. Click *Add a Windows Credential*.
   3. As *Internet or network address* enter the FQDN of VisualSVN Server's
   machine.
   4. As *Username* enter your domain account's username in DOMAIN\Username
   format.
   5. Complete the password field and click *OK*.
