Microsoft releases Windows 10 build 19043.1151

[ad_1]

Today Microsoft is releasing its latest preview updates for supported versions of Windows 10. These updates are also known as “C” and “D” week updates, with the letter corresponding to the week of the month (Patch Tuesday, which is the second week of the month, is the week ‘B’ update). Since all supported versions of Windows 10 get the same bits, they all get the same update today.

Specifically, the update is for Windows 10 versions 21H1, 20H2, and 2004, and KB5004296 will bring the build number to 19043.1151, 19042.1151, and 19041.1151, respectively. You can download it manually here, and here are the highlights:

Updates an issue that prevents Game Services from opening certain games for desktop users.
Updates an issue that prevents you from entering text using the Input Method Editor (IME). This can happen, for example, after startup if you have set the power options to turn off a laptop by closing its cover.
Updates an issue that plays sound to select something in a game when you press the trigger button on a game controller.
Updates an issue that prevents power plans and game mode from working as expected. This results in lower frame rates and reduced performance while gaming.
Updates an issue that fails to detect that you are connected to the Internet after connecting to a virtual private network (VPN).
Updates an issue that causes printing to stop or prints the wrong output. This issue occurs when you print using a USB connection after updating to Windows 10, version 2004 or later.

As usual, there are also a ton of fixes. Here is the full list:

There are also a few known issues:

KB5004296 Known issues

Symptoms	Workaround
When using Microsoft Japanese Input Method Editor (IME) to input Kanji characters in an application that automatically allows Furigana character input, you may not get the correct Furigana characters. You may need to enter the Furigana characters manually. To note The applications concerned use the ImmGetCompositionString () a function.	We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in a future release.
Devices with Windows installations created from custom offline media or a custom ISO image may have Microsoft Edge Legacy removed by this update, but not automatically replaced by the new Microsoft Edge. This issue only occurs when custom offline media or ISO images are created by embedding this update in the image without first installing the Standalone Servicing Stack (SSU) update released on March 29, 2021 or later. To note Devices that connect directly to Windows Update to receive updates are not affected. This includes devices using Windows Update for Business. Any device connecting to Windows Update should always receive the latest versions of the SSU and the latest cumulative update (LCU) without any additional steps.	To avoid this issue, make sure to first integrate the SSU released on March 29, 2021 or later into the custom offline media or ISO image before integrating the LCU. To do this, with the combined SSU and LCU packages now in use for Windows 10, version 20H2 and Windows 10, version 2004, you will need to extract the SSU from the combined package. Use the following steps to extract the SSU using: Extract the cab from the msu via this command line (using the package for KB5000842 as an example): expand Windows10.0-KB5000842-x64.msu /f:Windows10.0-KB5000842-x64.cab Extract the cab SSU previously extracted via this command line: expand Windows10.0-KB5000842-x64.cab / f: * You will then have the SSU cabin, in this example named SSU-19041.903-x64.cab. Drag this file into your offline image first, then into the LCU. If you have already encountered this problem by installing the operating system using the affected custom media, you can mitigate it by directly installing the new Microsoft Edge. If you need to scale up the new Microsoft Edge for business, see Download and deploy Microsoft Edge for business
After installing the June 21, 2021 update (KB5003690), some devices may not install new updates, such as July 6, 2021 (KB5004945) or later updates. You will receive the error message “PSFX_E_MATCHING_BINARY_MISSING”.	For more information and a workaround, see article KB5005322.

As mentioned above, this is an optional update. You can obviously download and install it manually from the update catalog. You can also get it through Windows Update. If you go to Settings -> Update & Security -> Windows Update and check for updates, you will be given an option to download and install this. You can ignore it if you want. If you do, these fixes will be included in next month’s Patch Tuesday update for Windows 10, which will be mandatory.

If you’re using Windows 11, you don’t receive regular Patch Tuesday or optional updates. Preview versions are updated on a different schedule.
