Microsoft Releases KB4476976 Cumulative Update With Quality Improvements
#1
Quote:Microsoft rolled out the KB4476976 cumulative update for Windows 10 Version 1809 and Windows Server 2019 which comes with multiple quality improvements designed to address a number of issues affecting the previous OS build.

Windows 10 update KB4476976 can be installed via Windows Update by going into Settings -> Update & Security -> Windows Update and then select Check for updates.

After installation, the cumulative update will increase the OS build number to 17763.292 (the build can be checked using by launching the winver tool from the Start menu).

Standalone packages are also available for download from the Microsoft Update Catalog website allowing users to manually install the version for their platform.

The key changes included in the KB4476976 (OS Build 17763.292) update are:
  • Addresses an issue that may cause Microsoft Edge to stop working with certain display drivers.  
  • Addresses an issue that may cause third-party applications to have difficulty authenticating hotspots.
  • Addresses an issue that causes promotions of non-root domains to fail with the error, “The replication operation encountered a database error.” The issue occurs in Active Directory forests in which optional features like Active Directory recycle have been enabled. 
  • Addresses an issue related to the date format for the Japanese era calendar. For more information, see KB4469068
  • Addresses a compatibility issue with AMD R600 and R700 display chipsets. 
  • Addresses an audio compatibility issue when playing newer games with 3D Spatial Audio mode enabled through multichannel audio devices or Windows Sonic for Headphones.
  • Addresses an issue that may cause audio playback to stop responding when playing Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) audio content after using a Seek operation such as rewind. 
  • Addresses an issue that allows users to uninstall apps from the Start menu when the “Prevent users from uninstalling applications from Start menu” group policy is set. 
  • Addresses an issue that causes File Explorer to stop working when you click the Turn On button for the timeline feature. This issue occurs when the "Allow upload of user activities" group policy is disabled. 
  • Addresses an issue that prevents users from installing a Local Experience Pack from the Microsoft Store when that language is already set as the active Windows display language.
  • Addresses an issue that causes some symbols to appear in a square box on a text control. 
  • Addresses an issue with two-way audio that occurs during phone calls for some Bluetooth headsets. 
  • Addresses an issue that may turn off TCP Fast Open by default on some systems. 
  • Addresses an issue that may cause applications to lose IPv4 connectivity when IPv6 is unbound. 
  • Addresses an issue on Windows Server 2019 that may break connectivity on guest virtual machines (VMs) when applications inject the low-resource flag on packets. 
  • Addresses an issue that occurs if you create a page file on a drive with FILE_PORTABLE_DEVICE characteristics. The “Windows created a temporary warning” message appears. 
  • Addresses an issue that causes Remote Desktop Services to stop accepting connections after accepting several connections. 
  • Addresses an issue in Windows Server 2019 that causes a Hyper-V VM to remain at the bootloader screen for OS selection when restarting the machine. This issue occurs when Virtual Machine Connection (VMConnect) is attached. 
  • Addresses an issue with rendering of end-user-defined characters (EUDC) in Microsoft Edge
Microsoft also recommends installing the latest servicing stack update (KB4470788) for your operating system before installing the latest cumulative update (LCU) since it improves the reliability of the update process to mitigate potential issues while installing the LCU.

Standalone packages for the latest SSU are also available via the Microsoft Update Catalog for manual update.

Quote:Microsoft released -- the missing -- cumulative update KB4476976 for Windows 10 version 1809 and Server 2019 yesterday evening to the public.

The company released cumulative updates for earlier versions of Windows 10 days ago but decided to test the update for Windows 10 version 1809 in the Release Preview ring before its official release.

Microsoft changed its strategy in regards to cumulative update releases for the latest version of Windows 10 after the update fiasco of Windows 10 version 1809. Instead of releasing cumulative updates outright, like the company has done on older versions of Windows 10, it is pushing updates to the Release Preview ring first before releasing them.

In other words, another round of testing and -- hopefully -- bug finding before the update is unleashed on the general population.
