Windows 10: Optional Cumulative Updates: January 29, 2020

A new set of an optional update, KB4532695 for Windows 10 version 1903 and 1909 is available from January 29, 2020. The build number jumps to 18363.628.


As 1903 and 1909 share a common core of the OS, the update can be installed on both the releases.


Improvements for 1903:

• Improves the accuracy of Windows Hello face authentication.
• Addresses an issue with Windows Mixed Reality that occurs after upgrading to a new version of Microsoft Edge.
• Addresses an issue with download notifications that have multiple short-duration tabs and redirects.
• Addresses an issue that changes the user-customized order of tiles in the Start menu even though the layout is locked or partially locked.
• Addresses an issue that causes a grey box to appear when you search within Control Panel and File Explorer.
• Addresses an issue with a memory leak in ctfmon.exe that occurs when you refresh an application that has an editable box.
• Addresses a keyboard reliability issue for classic apps in the Windows Mixed Reality home.
• Addresses an issue that, in some instances, prevents the Language Bar from appearing when the user signs in to a new session. This occurs even though the Language Bar is configured properly.
• Addresses an issue that causes the touch keyboard to close when you select any key.
• Addresses an issue that prevents software Indirect Display drivers from being signed with more than one certificate.
• Addresses an issue that, in certain cases, causes multiplayer PC games to drop the invitation to play the game in multiplayer mode.
• Addresses an issue with unsigned program files that will not run when Windows Defender Application Control is in Audit Mode, but will allow unsigned images to run.
• Addresses an issue that causes the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service LSASS process to stop working when you sign in using an updated user principal name UPN for example, changing *** Email address is removed for privacy *** to *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. The error code is, “0xc0000005 STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION.”
• Addresses an issue that sometimes causes an error when you unplug a USB type C hub flash drive.
• Addresses an issue with the Always On Virtual Private Network VPN that fails to remove the Name Resolution Policy Table NRPT rules after you disconnect.
• Addresses an issue that might cause the Print Management console to display script errors when you enable the Extended View option.
• Addresses an issue that causes the Windows firewall to drop network traffic from Modern apps, such as Microsoft Edge, when you connect to a corporate network using a virtual private network VPN.
• Addresses an issue that displays incorrect indicators for offline and online files.
• Addresses an issue with ntdsutil.exe that prevents you from moving Active Directory database files. The error is, “Move file failed with source <original_full_db_path> and Destination <new_full_db_path> with error 5 Access is denied.”
• Addresses an issue in which netdom.exe fails to correctly identify trust relationships when an unconstrained delegation is explicitly enabled by adding bitmask 0x800 to the trust object. The bitmask setting is required because of security changes to the default behavior of unconstrained delegations in Windows updates released on or after July 8, 2019. For more information, see KB4490425 and 6.1.6.7.9 trustAttributes.
• Addresses an issue with evaluating the compatibility status of the Windows ecosystem to help ensure application and device compatibility for all updates to Windows.
• Addresses an issue that might cause the Application Virtualization App-V Streaming Driver appvstr.sys to leak memory when you enable Shared Content Store SCS mode.
• Addresses an issue that corrupts a log file when a storage volume is full and data is still being written to the Extensible Storage Engine Technology ESENT database.
• 
  Addresses an issue in which code refactoring breaks optimization for writing metadata, which increases Logical Volume Integrity Descriptors LVID.
  

Improvements for 1909:

• This build includes all the improvements from Windows 10, version 1903.
• Addresses an issue that prevents File Explorer's Search Bar from pasting clipboard content using the right mouse button right-click.
• Addresses an issue that prevents File Explorer's Search Bar from receiving user input.

January 2018 Windows 10 Cumulative Update

I have an HP, Intel i3, Windows 10 Home Version 1709. I diligently endeavor to keep it up-to-date with once-every-day level verification.

Usually every month there are 3 "routine" updates that come through, usually on the second Tuesday of each month: 1) a Windows Cumulative Update; 2) an Adobe Flash Player Security Update, and; 3) a Malicious Software
Removal Tool (I think automatically executed once).

This month - January - I received only 2 of said updates: Adobe Security and Malicious Software Removal,
both "successfully installed" on Wednesday, January 10th.

But there was no Cumulative Update. I researched and found out that listed as
January 3rd that there is a Cumulative Update
listed as KB 4056 892, OS Build 16299 .192 available. To repeat, I have
not yet received this. I check manually every day and Settings responds after checking that I am "Up to Date".

The last Cumulative Update listed in Settings' "View installed update history"
is currently December 12th, KB 4054 517, OS Build 16299
.125

Is this no Cumulative Update for January yet an MS planned delay? If so, when should I expect it? If there is no delay
OR the delayed-date passes without the update, what should I do next?
