Windows 10 users have a good reason to celebrate: its latest update applies a series of important fixes and new features. Furthermore, among these adjustments that have been made, a definitive solution is given to one of the most annoying problems that were being suffered recently.
Windows 10 update KB5046613, available on both Windows 10 22H2 and Windows 10 21H2, is being received with notable enthusiasm. In total, it incorporates 10 adjustments and new features with which Microsoft is polishing the operation of the operating system and demonstrating that, until its support runs out definitively, it will continue working. Keep in mind that, unlike other updates, this patch is mandatory, so all users will have it applied to their computers.
Troubleshooting
Something that had generated very bad impressions in recent times were the problems that Windows 10 was causing with multifunction printers. But, finally, Microsoft has put a solution to it. Thanks to this, you now have the opportunity to connect your printer via USB cable so that the installation is completed correctly. Until now, there was a failure in the scanner drivers and that function was rendered unusable, so it is good news to see that there is now a solution. In addition, printing problems that were generated in the same situation have also been solved: when the multifunction printer is connected via USB cable.
Another of the errors that was being registered, being something that Microsoft surely wanted to solve as soon as possible, was related to the update from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Thus, it was recorded that, under certain situations, users could encounter a error code trying to update.
Similarly, the issue of Windows activation with certain phone numbers has also been fixed. To fix it, what Microsoft has done is increase the range in different regions, thus preventing errors from occurring again. Likewise, the company has also solved the compatibility errors that were being caused with Xbox 360 console controllers and other controllers that work via Bluetooth.
The list of fixed errors includes others that you can consult on the Microsoft website and that help make the user experience with Windows 10 now a little more stable. For example, the issue with Azure Virtual Desktop that caused a black screen to appear has also been fixed.
Security improvements and new features
The reason why the KB5046613 update is mandatory is because it is a security update. That means it applies to all Windows computers immediately without having to check for updates or do it manually. Because of this, the update addresses several security issues, such as one related to a Windows Kernel driver vulnerability.
In addition, the new Start menu has been introduced, in which the account manager appears with a new design that simplifies access to the configuration options. It is also easier to switch between different users quickly, since you only have to click on the three dots next to the log out button. Microsoft says that, yes, the new Start menu will be distributed to Windows 10 users progressively and that it is possible that not everyone will receive it at the same time. Therefore, if you don’t have it yet you will just have to wait a little longer.
When you update with this new version, Windows 10 22H2 computers will be on version 19045.5131 and Windows 10 21H2 users will be on version 19044.5131. If the update has not been automatically applied to your computer, use Windows Update and check if it is available. Although it should have arrived automatically, you never know if an error may have occurred. For now, it seems that this new update has not generated any unexpected incidents or problems.
