Windows 10: Microsoft releases KB4501375 for Windows 10 version 1903

It always takes a bit longer before the second cumulative update of a month is published by Microsoft for the current version of Windows 10.

The company changed the update testing and release strategy some time ago after the Windows 10 version 1809 release fiasco to test updates in the release preview ring before they are made available to all devices running the version of Windows.

Microsoft released the cumulative updates KB4501371 and KB4503288 for Windows 10 versions 1809 and 1803 on June 19, 2019, and the updates KB4503277 and KB4503283 for Windows 7 and 8.1 on June 21, 2019.

Note: KB4501375 is considered a preview update, not a final update. It should not be installed on production machines but is suitable for testing purposes. In any case, make sure you create backups before you install the new version.

The new cumulative update shares many of the fixes of KB4501371 and KB4503288 that Microsoft released earlier this month.

Here is what is fixed and improved in the new update:

• Fixed a cursor display issue when moving the cursor over the keyboard magnifier.
• Fixed a redirects issue in Edge and Internet Explorer 11.
• Fixed an issue with Scalable Vector Graphics marker display.
• Fixed a programmatic scrolling issue in Internet Explorer 11.
• Fixed a display issue in Internet Explorer caused "under certain conditions" on sites with "many elements and multiple nesting levels".
• Fixed Error 1309 when installing or uninstalling certain msi or msp files on a virtual drive.
• Addressed an issue that caused Night Light, Color Management profiles, or gamma correct to stop working after shutdowns.
• Fixed an issue that showed grayscale only during Windows Hello enrollment.
• Fixed an issue that caused playback of iOS media to fail under certain circumstances.
• Fixed a taskbar and desktop flickering issue in Windows Server 2019 Terminal Server.
• Fixed a policy issue that allowed users to set backgrounds even though a policy to prevent that was set.
• Fixed a connection issue when using fitness software on Android devices with Your Phone installed.

• Fixed an Office 365 opening issue when deployed as App-V packages.

• Addressed an issue that prevented Windows 7 to 10 installations from completing when certain antivirus applications were installed on the system.
• Reinforces the Certificate Revocation List on Internet Key Exchange version 2 machines for certificate-based virtual private network connections.
• Fixed an issue that triggered Group Policy updates even though there were no changes.
• Fixed the Preboot Execution Environment startup issue.
• Fixed the Custom Views issue in the Event Viewer.
• Fixed a WinHTTP registrations issue that delayed the startup of the operating system. The issue occurs on devices with proxy auto-config files. Microsoft notes that admins need to make the following changes to the Windows Registry to stop the incremental growth of the Registry:
  • Path: HKEY_CURRENTUSER\"Software\Classes\Localettings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppContainer\Mappings"
  • Setting: CleanupLeakedContainerRegistrations
  • Type: DWORD
  • Value: 1 (1 removes preexisting registrations, 0 retains them)

Microsoft lists just one known issue for KB4501375. The sandbox issue is still a thing in the new version..

Microsoft Selects Dolby Audio for Windows 10

it would've been great if microsoft added HEVC decoders, LAV filters along with other codecs with Windows 10, and developing WMP to be better than VLC, KMPlayer and such sorts of media players.

Nevertheless, this is good step for microsoft, by far.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
