Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is also getting a new patch with bug fixes and improvements. The patch is available via Windows Update and the direct download links for Windows 10 KB4338817 are also available on Microsoft’s website.

So far in July, Microsoft has released two updates for older versions of Windows 10 and today the company is releasing patches for some older versions of Windows 10. If you’re on latest Windows 10 April 2018 Update, you’ll get build 17134.191.

For whatever reasons, if you’re still operating Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, you’ll get KB4338817. Installing this cumulative update will bump the operating system to build 16299.579.

KB4338817 Windows 10 16299.579 Full Changelog

• Addresses an issue that causes devices within Active Directory or Hybrid AADJ++ domains to unexpectedly unenroll from Microsoft Intune or third-party MDM services after installing provisioning package updates (PPKG). This issue occurs on devices that are subject to the “Auto MDM Enrollment with AAD Token” Group Policy. If you ran the script “Disable-AutoEnrollMDMCSE.PS1” as a workaround for this issue, run “Enable-AutoEnrollMDMCSE.PS1” from a PowerShell window running in Administrator mode after installing this update.
• Inserts a CR before LF if there was none.
• Enables debugging of WebView content in UWP apps using the Microsoft Edge DevTools Preview app available in the Microsoft App Store.
• Addresses an issue in which Microsoft Edge DevTools becomes unresponsive when the console is flooded with messages.
• Addresses an issue that causes a black screen to appear for several minutes after installing Windows updates before going to the desktop.
• Addresses additional issues with updated time zone information.
• Improves the PDF file experience in Microsoft Edge by addressing PDF file open, print, and reliability issues.
• Addresses an issue in which moving a Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) application window might leave behind a dithered pattern on the desktop.
• Addresses an issue that causes power options to appear on the Windows security screen even when the per-user Group Policy to hide power options is set.
• Addresses an issue in which the correct lock screen image won’t show when all of the following are true:
  • GPO policy “Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Personalization\Force a specific default lock screen and logon image” is enabled.
  • GPO policy “Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Personalization\Prevent changing lock screen and logon image” is enabled
  • Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\DisableLogonBackgroundImage is set to 1.
• Addresses an issue in which a warning appears stating that the application is from an “unknown publisher” when running an application as an elevated user (Administrator).
• Addresses an issue that causes sporadic authentication issues when using Web Account Manager.
• Addresses an issue that sometimes causes the single-sign-on scenario to fail and presents the the logon tile when connecting to a Remote Desktop server.
• Addresses an issue in which the memory usage of LSASS continues to grow until it is necessary to restart the system.
• Addresses an issue in which the default domain for an Azure Active Directory-joined machine is not set on the logon screen automatically.
• Addresses an issue that causes SQL Server memory usage to grow over time when encrypting data using a symmetric key that has a certificate. Then, you execute queries that open and close the symmetric key in a recursive loop.
• Addresses an issue in which using an invalid password in a wireless PEAP environment that has SSO enabled causes the submission of two authentication requests with the invalid password. The excess authentication request may cause premature account lockouts in environments with low account lockout thresholds. To enable the changes, add the new registry key, “DisableAuthRetry” (Dword) on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\PPP\EAP\26 using regedit, and set it to 1.
• Addresses an issue that may cause the BITS service to become unresponsive when the service cannot connect to Internet resources.
• Addresses an issue that prevents printing on a 64-bit OS when 32-bit applications impersonate other users (typically by calling LogonUser). This issue occurs after installing monthly updates starting with KB4034681, released in August 2017. To resolve the issue for the affected applications, install this update, and then do one of the following:
  • Use Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit to globally enable the Splwow64Compat App Compat Shim.
  • Use the following registry setting, and then restart the 32-bit application: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print Setting: Splwow64CompatType: DWORD
    Value1: 1
  • Addresses an issue with DNS Response Rate Limiting that causes a memory leak when enabled with LogOnly mode.
  • Addresses an issue that sometime prevents a system from shutting down or being placed in Hibernation. This issue occurs on the first boot after performing disk encryption on an SSD drive.
  • Addresses an issue that prevents access to SMB shares using IP addresses if SMB hardening is enabled.
  • Addresses an issue in which using mandatory (read-only) user profiles for RDP might result in the error code, “Class not registered (0x80040151)”.
  • Addresses an issue in which not all network printers are connected after a user logs on. The HKEY_USERS\User\Printers\Connections Key shows the correct network printers for the affected user. However, the list of network printers from this registry key is not populated in any app, including Microsoft Notepad or Devices and Printers. Printers may disappear or become non-functional.
  • Addresses an issue that causes in-place upgrades to Windows 10 version 1709 to stop responding at the “Making sure you’re ready to install” screen. This occurs while performing device inventory on devices that have installed monthly updates since April 2018.Note WSUS can also deliver Dynamic Updates (DU) to devices when configured to sync Dynamic Update content. Verify that Dynamic Updates haven’t been disabled by the /DynamicUpdate Disable setup switch.
  • Addresses a rendering issue that occurs while dynamically modifying the classname or ID of elements on a page.
  • Addresses an issue that prevents Memory Analyzer and Performance Analyzer from working properly in Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 Developer Tools.

For the moment, we are not aware of any major issues reported with this cumulative update but we’ll update this article if there are any reports of failed Windows 10 installs.

Microsoft enables offline play for Windows 10 games

Most Windows 10 games will support offline play, but you'll have to work at it.





"Larry Hryb, the man known to the world as Major Nelson, announced on Twittertoday that Microsoft has "made some backend updates to improve your experience playing @Windows 10 games offline." Basically, if you're going to be somewhere that lacks online coverage—on a submarine, for instance—it will still be possible to play your games. But there are some restrictions.

"Most games available in the Store on your Windows 10 device support offline play, but check the details of the game to make sure yours is supported by searching for your game at http://www.xbox.com," the Xbox support site says. "Most games with a campaign mode will be playable offline, but games with network co-op or multiplayer features will not work while you’re offline. While playing offline, some features, such as the ability to purchase additional items from the Windows Store, will not be available. Additionally, any leaderboards will be unavailable while you're offline."

Obviously, online features like buying stuff from in-game stores won't be available when you're offline, but the bit about "games with network co-op or multplayer features" not working while offline really isn't clear. We tested with Gears of War 4 and confirmed that the offline features like campaign and LAN multiplayer worked just fine when disconnected.

There are more caveats, though. You're limited to just one "designated offline device" at a time, and you can only change your designated offline device three times per year. Switching into offline mode isn't all that easy, either. First, you'll need to set your designated offline device:

• Make sure that you’re online.
• Check that your device has the latest Windows updates: Go to Start,Settings, Update and security, and then Windows Update and see if any relevant updates are available.
• Open the Store. You’ll be prompted to sign in if you haven’t already.
• Select the Me icon (this is your profile picture).
• Select Settings, and then under Offline Permissions, make sure that the toggle is set to On.

After that, you'll have to "prepare" your games by launching each one that you want to play offline while you're still online, and logging into your Xbox Live account. This is a bit like launching Steam into Offline mode while you still have an internet connection... but you'll have to prepare each individual Xbox game this way before going offline.

Once you've logged into the game while you're online, you can exit at any time and you'll be set. Of course, if you change your mind and want to play something you haven't properly prepared, you're out of luck.

The upside is that this only affects Windows 10 games, but it still seems wildly complicated and restrictive to me. Worse, while improved functionality is always welcome, I can't see how this does anything but beg for unflattering comparisons with Steam: When I want to play my Steam games offline, I set Steam offline, restart it, and I'm on my way—and I can do it as often as I want. Microsoft's implementation of offline play is an improvement, but only because it wasn't available at all previously. As a step toward becoming more competitive with Steam, though, it falls woefully short."
