Windows 10: Microsoft’s latest Windows 10 cumulative update fixes login problems

Microsoft yesterday released a new patch for Windows 10 April 2018 Update that advances the machines to Build 17134.319 and fixes a long list of issues. It appears that Microsoft has fixed several sign-in glitches with the third August patch.

Windows 10 April 2018 Update is available to download for a while now and Microsoft is now working on the next major feature release. It looks like the software maker recently discovered sign-in issues on Windows 10 and according to changelog posted on the company’s website, all the glitches have finally been addressed.

There were multiple sign-in related glitches that Microsoft has addressed with the patch. First off, an issue that affected the devices fingerprint sensors has been fixed in this release. Microsoft explains that the users who upgraded from Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709) were unable to use the fingerprint sensor to log in.

“Addresses an issue on devices with fingerprint sensors that were upgraded from Windows 10, version 1709. After the upgrade, users can’t use the fingerprint sensor to log in,” Microsoft explains.

Another bug that prevented customers from logging into a Windows 10 S device (such as the Surface Laptop) after entering a PIN has been addressed. This bug was affecting the users who upgraded to Windows 10 April 2018 Update and the error “Your PIN is no longer available due to a change to the security settings on this device” was displayed on the screen.

Lastly, a bug that prevents sign-out from completing has been addressed. Microsoft explains that the issue occurred when a customer attempted to sign out and then immediately closed the laptop lid which resulted in a forced restart instead of sign-out.

There are several other fixes included in this release but most of them are aimed at enterprises. You can download the patch from Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates.

Microsoft controversially brings cumulative updates to W7 & W8.1

TIME TO grab your indignation sticks and riot, because Microsoft has taken away one of the main things that made keeping Windows 7 and 8 attractive.

Starting in October 2016, Windows 7 and 8.1 (Windows 8 being the defunct ginger stepchild) will receive cumulative updates once a month instead of individual ones.

You may recall that this was a trick already used by Microsoft to bury a version of its GWX nagware last year, secreted as it was inside an important security update.
