Windows 10: Windows 10 Build 18363.628 is now available, download offline installers

Microsoft is rolling out a new optional update for Windows 10 version 1909 and 1903 with important fixes. The patch is available through both online and offline channels, and direct download links for Windows 10 KB4532695 offline installers are also available.

KB4532695 is the second monthly cumulative update released in January and rather than installing such updates automatically, Microsoft gives you a ‘Download and install now’ button. The option shows after you check for updates and you have a choice of whether to install it.

Windows 10’s second January update advances November 2019 Update (v1909) PCs to Build 18363.628. If you’re still on May 2019 Update, you’ll be getting 18362.628 and changelog applies to both versions of the OS.

Windows 10 Build 18363.628 includes fix for File Explorer’s broken search bar. According to Microsoft, the bug was hitting search bar in File Explorer and Control Panel. It also printed users from pasting clipboard content using the right-click. Microsoft says installing the patch released today should resolve all your problems with File Explorer.

In the changelog, Microsoft says it has improved the accuracy of Windows Hello Face recognition. Microsoft has also addressed a bug where the tiles in the Start menu were changed even when the customizing is disabled.

A bug that may cause a memory leak in a process named ‘ctfmon.exe’ when you refresh apps has been resolved. Similarly, Windows 10’s latest update also aims to fix a bug where the touch keyboard may close unexpectedly when you select any key.

Another bug has been addressed where multiplayer PC game may drop the invitation to play the game in multiplayer mode. An issue causing Windows 10 to display a generic error message when you unplug a USB C hub flash drive has been addressed.

The other changes included in today’s update are aimed at enterprises and businesses.

It’s also worth noting that Microsoft is not aware of any issues. The company hasn’t acknowledged installation issues with Patch Tuesday update yet.

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."
