Windows 10: Quality Updates in Windows 10

JohnSmart_957 · Dec 8, 2019

My computer seems to have stopped receiving Quality Updates since 02 December but I am still receiving Definition Updates, about twice daily. Is there a reason or have they just stopped for lack of need?

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

.NET Framework May 2018 Preview of Quality Rollup for Windows 10

Today, we are releasing the May 2018 Preview of Quality Rollup for Windows 10 1703 (Creators Update) and Windows 10 1607 (Anniversary Update).

Quality and Reliability

This release contains the following quality and reliability improvements.

CLR

Resolves an issue in deserialization when using a collection, for example, ConcurrentDictionary by ignoring casing. [524135]

Resolves instances of high CPU usage with background garbage collection. This can be observed with the following two functions on the stack: clr!*gc_heap::bgc_thread_function, ntoskrnl!KiPageFault. Most of the CPU time is spent in the ntoskrnl!ExpWaitForSpinLockExclusiveAndAcquire function. This change updates background garbage collection to use the CLR implementation of write watch instead of the one in Windows. [574027]

Networking

Fixed a problem with connection limit when using HttpClient to send requests to loopback addresses. [539851]

WPF

A crash can occur during shutdown of an application that hosts WPF content in a separate AppDomain. (A notable example of this is an Office application hosting a VSTO add-in that uses WPF.) [543980]

Addresses an issue that caused XAML Browser Applications (XBAP’s) targeting .NET 3.5 to sometimes be loaded using .NET 4.x runtime incorrectly. [555344]

A WPF application can crash due to a NullReferenceException if a Binding (or MultiBinding) used in a DataTrigger (or MultiDataTrigger) belonging to a Style (or Template, or ThemeStyle) reports a new value, but whose host element gets GC’d in a very narrow window of time during the reporting process. [562000]

A WPF application can crash due to a spurious ElementNotAvailableException. This can arise if:
1.Change TreeView.IsEnabled
2.Remove an item X from the collection
3.Re-insert the same item X back into the collection
4.Remove one of X’s subitems Y from its collection
(Step 4 can happen any time relative to steps 2 and 3, as long as it’s after step 1. Steps 2-4 must occur before the asynchronous call to UpdatePeer, posted by step 1; this will happen if steps 1-4 all occur in the same button-click handler.) [555225]

Note: Additional information on these improvements is not available. The VSTS bug number provided with each improvement is a unique ID that you can give Microsoft Customer Support, include in StackOverflow comments or use in web searches.

The Preview of Quality Rollup is available via Windows Update, Windows Server Update Services, and Microsoft Update Catalog.
