Windows 10: Windows 10 May 2020 Update tunes up with 6th patch

In December, Microsoft completed feature development of Windows 10 Version 2004 and Build 19041 is the RTM. Nearly four months after Microsoft signed off the RTM candidate, Microsoft keeps updating the May 2020 Update with bug and security fixes.

Microsoft is rolling out 6th cumulative update for Windows 10 version 2004 and it comes with a set of bug fixes. All these fixes will be bundled and released together with the final version of May 2020 Update next month.

Windows 10 Build 19041.173 is available for testers in the Slow Ring and it comes with the following fixes:

• Microsoft says it has resolved a bug that could prevent certain old apps from opening. Users were directed to install the new version of these apps in order to access the features.
• A bug where USB mass storage devices would stop working has been fixed.
• Microsoft’s Your Phone app will no longer prevent users from using the mute button.
• Microsoft has fixed another bug that causes a fault in IOMMU and a DRIVER_VERIFIER_DMA_VIOLATION error.
• For devices with the mobile broadband feature, Microsoft is updating Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA) to increase the coverage for automatic cellular.

Microsoft has yet to move May 2020 Update into the Release Preview ring, which would be the final major milestone.

May 2020 Update is expected to bring in a whole lot of fresh features and performance refinements. For example, this update will finally allow you to create custom names for each virtual desktop.


Virtual Desktop lets you create multiple desktops

Currently, virtual desktops have numbered names: Desktop 1, Desktop 2, Desktop 3, and so on. If you use virtual desktop, you’ll be able to make sure each desktop is clearly labelled for the associated project.

The 20H1 update brings improved password-less experience as well. In this release, Microsoft is letting users rely on Windows Hello or fingerprints for signing into your Microsoft account.

If you use Windows Hello or fingerprint on your device, you’ll be able to sign in to your Microsoft account and services with it.

Windows 10 20H1 will also add Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) 2.7 to improve refresh rate on multi-monitor setups, gaming performance, and video playback.

CVE-2020-0601 Patch Fails

With the recent release of patches for the CVE-2020-0601 vulnerability, I have been working to address patching for Windows 10, Server 2016, and Server 2019 machines that my office manages. Our RMM tool has been able to apply patches to many machines,
however I have also configured targeted scripts to roll out the patches faster, to cover more ground. In doing so, I have found that there seem to be quite a number of machines that are not successfully patching. This includes various builds of Windows 10,
of which each has it's own patch. Is anyone else having issues getting Windows 10 machines patched for CVE-2020-0601 on a mass scale?

 

? mail one hand use, can not scroll to 6th account on w10m, 14388

Hi,

• Are you referring to the default Windows Mail App?
• If yes, then what exactly happens when you click on the 6th account? Do you see any error message or nothing happens?

Meanwhile, I suggest you to remove the account and re-add it and check if you are bale to access your 6th account via Windows 10 Mail App. This doesn’t delete the original account or messages—you’ll still be able to get
to them through a browser or another mail app.



I suggest you to try the steps provided in the link below and check.

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
