This update is a preview of the next Patch Tuesday
Microsoft has released a new optional update for Windows 10 as part of its typical preview program that provides users with an early look at what’s to come in the next Patch Tuesday cycle.
Windows 10 cumulative update KB5016688, therefore, comes with improvements that will go live for all users on the September Patch Tuesday cycle – for the time being, users who want to download the update need to manually check for updates in Windows Update.
KB5016688 is aimed at the latest Windows 10 versions still getting support from Microsoft, so it increases the OS build numbers to 19042.1949, 19043.1949, and 19044.1949.
Needless to say, the new Windows 10 cumulative update comes with lots of fixes, including for a glitch that caused Microsoft Edge to freeze when IE mode was enabled – Internet Explorer has already been retired, with Microsoft Edge’s IE mode now offered as an alternative, so it’s easy to see why this bug was quite critical for some users.
Here are the most important fixes included in this cumulative update:
- Addresses an issue that might cause some game installations to fail because of a licensing issue.
- Addresses an issue that affects the icon colors of the list in the Search app.
- Addresses an issue that might cause error 0x1E when you shut down or restart a device.
- Addresses a known issue that causes Microsoft Edge to stop responding when you use IE mode. This issue also prevents you from interacting with a dialog.
- Addresses an issue that causes a subscription activation to fail under certain conditions.
There are no new known issues in this update, though three issues continue to affect it, with Microsoft providing workarounds or KIRs for each of them. Make sure you check the official KB page (linked above) for more information on these issues.
