Windows 10 KB5022834 (Build 19045.2486) Full Changelog


With today’s update, Internet Explorer has finally been removed from Windows after more than 27 years of service. The retirement of Internet Explorer happened on June 15, 2022, comes 26 years and 10 months. And today, it’s finally going away from the Windows operating system after its release on August 15, 1995.

Back in the 90s, Internet Explorer was preinstalled on all Windows PCs. Those who bought a new computer at that time mostly used Microsoft’s web browser as it was the default program for browsing the internet on a desktop. It was nonetheless successful to bundle Internet Explorer with Windows, but it was also controversial.

Microsoft has turned off the old browser with February 2023 Windows 10 update. According to Microsoft officials, a Microsoft Edge server-side update will facilitate the smooth transition to the new browser.

Windows 10 Build 19045.2486 also comes with a new change – better Fast Identity Online 2.0 (FIDO2) authentication, which no longer fails when you try to sign in. Another bug fix in the update should resolve Windows Search problems, including a related bug where the OS stops users from signing in or signing out.

Microsoft is fixing an issue where the DNS suffix search list would not work, and the parent domain might be missing.

Here’s a list of bug fixes in Windows 10 Build 19045.2486:

• Fixed an issue where Task View causes the desktop to stop responding.
• Fixed an issue that degrades a memory location.
• Fixed an issue where Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) user mode policy ran into issues.
• Fixed an issue where printing does not work in landscape mode in Edge.
• Fixed an issue where Resilient File System (ReFS) MSba does not work or causes high nonpaged pool usage.
• Fixed an issue that lets you better understand how to enable the Windows diagnostic data processor configuration.

It is also worth noting that Microsoft will pause optional non-security updates for supported editions of Windows 10 20H2 and 21H2. This means only monthly security updates (known as the “B” or Tuesday release) will be offered for these two operating system versions as Microsoft is moving forward with Windows 11.
