    Microsoft confirms Windows 10 update bug is crashing some apps


    Windows 10 has apparently hit further problems with its February 2021 and January 2021 updates, with several users reporting that their desktop apps are crashing, or even machines being put into blue screen loops.

    Specifically, app crashing bug is happening to those who have installed Windows 10 KB4598299 and KB4598301, which are for 20H2, version 2004 or version 1909. These updates were released recently with the following improvements for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8:

    • Fixes an issue with scrolling when DPI scaling is not 100% and the user is scrolling at the end of TreeView.
    • Fixes an issue where ASP.Net apps fail during precompilation.
    • Includes reliability improvements for automatic Native Image generation task.

    The .NET Framework updates are installed automatically when you check for updates on Windows Update and they’re usually aimed at developers. However, there are reports online detailing all sorts of problems after the patch, including numerous app crashes highlighted on Microsoft forum and Reddit.

    The bug is also hitting Visual Studio, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), and other products. On Feedback Hub, one user reported that they’re unable to use Visual Studio 2019 after applying Windows 10 KB4598299.

    “In Visual Studio 2019, I performed the traditional window drag to relocate the Properties Window to be docked with the Solutions window [and] Visual Studio crashed. Uninstalling KB4598299 on both computers fixed the problem,” one user noted in a post on Feedback Hub.

    In a community forum, Microsoft confirmed that the problem is in KB4598301 and the company is “working to get a fix released”. In addition to a new .NET Framework update, Microsoft is also working on new Visual Studio updates to address the bug for more users in a short period of time.

    Since the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is affected too, it’s likely that other apps are also crashing due to the update.

    How to fix issues after Windows 10 KB4598299 or KB4598301


    If you’re encountering similar issues, it might be worth uninstalling KB4598299 or KB4598301 to see if that makes any difference. To uninstall the update, open Control Panel > Uninstall a program > View installed updates. On the next screen, search for the KB number and click on the uninstall button.

    Otherwise, the only other solution is to wait for the next update, which is expected to land in the second week of February.

  2. Microsoft Confirms Windows, Office 6-Month Update Cycle

    Microsoft has been steadily increasing stability, features and, the company hopes, attractiveness of its latest Windows 10 operating system. Recently, its Creator's Update has brought, among other features, a performance-boosting Game Mode, a 3D version of the popular and (respectably ancient) Paint app, as well as increased privacy control, something users clamored for. Now, the Redmond company has confirmed that it's looking towards a six month update cycle for Windows 10 (thus aligning it with Office 365 ProPlus), looking to streamline and increase predictability of its support.

    Microsoft released the Windows 10 Anniversary Update in August 2016, and the Creators Update made its public debut on April 11 2017, which is already close to the six-month update cycle the company is now confirming (seven months, in this case.) Now the company has confirmed that it plans to release its next step on the Windows 10 operating system on September 2017. From then on, updates should arrive in a steady cadence, on every subsequent March and September. Each Windows 10 feature release will be serviced and supported for 18 months, as is currently the case, and the company has also added that its System Center Configuration Manager will support this new aligned update model for Office 365 ProPlus and Windows 10, "making both easier to deploy and keep up to date."

    Windows 10 KB3213986 Update Cripples Multi-monitor Gaming

    This should be enough to get the conspiracy theorists suggesting that Microsoft is intentionally crippling multi-monitor support in fullscreen mode since games sold on the Microsoft Store all work in the pseudo-fullscreen mode...

    Or it could just be an idiotic bug that will be fixed in time.

    Microsoft signals end of Paint program

    Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to offer its graphics program Paint.

    In a recent update, it had listed Paint as a feature that would be either removed or no longer developed.

    Paint, renowned for its simplicity, has been part of the Windows operating system since its launch in 1985.

    Microsoft suggested it would not remain on Windows 10 by default but did say it would be available for free on the Windows Store.
