Windows 10: Windows 10 KB4586819 fixes File Explorer crashes, gaming and USB issues

Windows 10 KB4586819 is now rolling out to users via the new ‘Optional updates’ section in the Windows Update Settings. This is an optional release and it won’t download or install automatically on your device until you hit the ‘Download and install’ option after navigating through multiple pages in the Settings.

This patch comes with a long list of fixes and improvements. For example, Microsoft says it has resolved an issue that causes File Explorer to crash when namespace extension products are enabled.

In other words, File Explorer might crash when you type in the search box and third-party customizations are applied to the Explorer window. Likewise, Microsoft has also resolved issues with ‘Open File’ dialog box in File Explorer.

Windows 10 KB4586819 optional preview update also comes with fixes for certain games that use audio spatial. When the audio spatial feature is enabled, a bug in Windows 10 causes the games to stop responding to your keystrokes or mouse clicks.

Another bug has been fixed where Graphics Device Interface (GDI) Font Handles will result in unexpected behaviours in certain apps.

Microsoft has also fixed an annoying issue with USB 3.0. In some configurations, Microsoft observed that devices connected to the USB 3.0 hub might stop working when you restart the device. To fix this, you would need to disconnect and reconnect the device manually or install the optional preview from Windows Update.

It’s also worth noting that KB4586819 is rolling out devices with Windows 10 version 1909 or version 1903 only. If you’re on version 20H2 or version 2004, Microsoft plans to release another update with identical fixes later this month or in the first week of December.

In December, Microsoft is planning to focus on security updates and fewer updates will be released. This would mean that the next batch of optional previews will be published in the third or fourth week of January.

Unimportant updates are being delayed to allow for Microsoft engineers to focus on necessary fixes.

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

Explorer Crash FIX!

Our old Dell Inspiron N5110 got this problem also.
Taskbar keeps refreshing. Thanks many hints from guys above pointed me the direction to fix it.
From Reliability History Monitor I found Explorer keeps crashing because of IDTNC64.CPL (type reliability history at Start)
1. the issue was from IDTNC64.cpl, the sound driver,
but I could not successfully to uninstall it from device manager nor control panel or rename the file or the folder.
2. uninstalled High Definition Audio Device few times, problem remain
3. tried to uninstall within Control Panel > Program file, yet Control Panel only open 2, 3 seconds then closed automatically.
4. finally solved Control Panel shut down problem by going to msconfig>services>and disable Windows Error Reporting Service. see below sequence:
Click window + R keys, type msconfig, Enter to open msconfig, click Services Tag and look for Windows Error Reporting Service. Unchecked it, then apply, ok then reboot system when it suggests.
5. After this, open Control Panel by clicking Start > type Control Panel. Then my Control Panel open and stay put, won't shut down by itself.
6. In Control Panel > Programs > I found IDT Audio and successfully to uninstall it.
7. No more taskbar refresh or Windows Explore shut down after uninstalled IDT and Sound still works great!!!
8. repeat step 4 to check Windows Error Reporting Services by clicking it. OK then follow system suggestion to reboot.
9. Control Panel still able to open and remain open. Sound still works and no more refresh.
10. From Reliability History monitor found no more Windows Explorer crashing.

Windows explorer crashing

Hi,

I am having the same problem as the OP in this thread.
Windows Explorer crashes whenever I open my external HDD or thumb drive in explorer..

I have tried the fixes listed in the above thread and I am getting the same error message as 'ktadie' (post 16). I think this is because I am running Windows 7 Professional. Windows explorer crashes when I open my 'Films' folder on my brand new 2tb external HDD. I have about 300 .avi files in this folder and some of the .avi files are several years old.

In short I believe I need the same fix given by 'Wile E' (post 7) but updated for Windows 7 Professional.

Thanks in advance.
