Windows 10: Windows 10 KB5007186 released with major bug fixes

Microsoft is now rolling out this year’s second last security update for Windows 10 version 2004 or later. The update is rolling out via Windows Update. Additionally, Microsoft has also published direct download links for Windows 10 KB5007186 offline installers.

KB5007186 is part of the company’s usual Patch Tuesday cycle, which is a popular term for the day when new security updates are released for Windows.

What’s new and fixed in Windows 10 Build 19043.1348


With today’s security update, Microsoft has fixed an issue that prevents subtitles from appearing in certain video apps, but Movies & TV was not affected. According to official release notes, Windows 10 bug also blocked subtitles on certain streaming sites.



Another bug has been fixed where the lock screen background appears black when you’ve configured a slideshow of pictures as a lock screen background.

For enterprises and consumers, Microsoft has also addressed a bug that could prevent some users from viewing the out-of-box experience (OOBE) pages. This bug was experienced on devices using credentials of Azure Active Directory and if you press the Windows key five times.

Microsoft is also rolling out fixes for a bug affecting Assigned Access kiosks that use Microsoft Edge as a kiosk application. Microsoft has patched an issue where App-V causes black screens to appear when users sign-in on the credentials page.

Windows 10 version 2004 reaching the end of support


It’s worth noting that Windows 10 version 2004 will reach the end of service in December 2021 and those still using it will be automatically updated to version 21H1 or 21H2 whether they like it or not.

Early next year, we’re expecting Microsoft to forcibly install Windows 10’s latest updates on devices running certain outdated versions. By early 2021, most users of version 2004 will be required to download and install version 21H1 or newer. If you’re using an unsupported PC, you will be notified of the end of service via a notice on the Windows Update.

November 2021 Update is around the corner


As mentioned at the outset, Windows 10 November 2021 Update (21H2) has cleared the final stage of testing and it is set to land in the production channel in a few weeks.

November 2021 Update isn’t going to be a big update as Microsoft’s focus is entirely on Windows 11. However, you’re actually going to get some new features when you upgrade to version 21H2.

Microsoft says the next feature update for Windows 10 will enable support for the WPA3 H2E standard, which is a new and enhanced Wi-Fi security. Additionally, Microsoft is also bringing a new deployment method called cloud trust to enhance the experience of Windows Hello for Business. This change would result in passwordless deployments.

For consumers and developers, Microsoft is enabling GPU compute support in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Major BUG: GPU-Z causes Windows 10 PC to hard lock

I am a proud beta tester of GPU-Z! Also, I have suggested many features/new functions over the years, many of which were implemented by GPU-Z author. *Smile
So, I like GPU-Z and do not want to use anything else for this.

Could be not GPU-Z, in fact. Maybe a combination of those latest AMD Radeon drivers+my Windows 10 being Insider Preview.
MY Windows 10 OS is the Insider Preview kind, maybe I should have mentioned that.

RE Core Temp, I have translated it into Bulgarian, and also suggested some new features, implemented by author (for Core Temp, just a few - less than those I suggested for GPU-Z). *Smile
So, likewise I like it and do not want to stop using it. *Wink

 

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

When will MS fix this KB3172985 update problem?

Yes, it is an ongoing issue for months without a well known fix TBH. Microsoft is releasing Anniversary update for Windows 10 on 2nd August, that would be a major update to windows 10.

I would suggest you doing that manually using an ISO which would serve two purposes:

• Would make your system up to date.
• Correct your windows update issue also.

You can drop me a message in this thread on 2nd, I would provide the links and steps for repair Install through an ISO. (ISO isn't released yet)

Let me know if there are any questions.
