Microsoft Releases KB5044273 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 with Improvements and Fixes

TapTechNews October 9th news, Microsoft has pushed the KB5044273 cumulative update for Windows 10 22H2 and 21H2 devices in the October Patch Tuesday event, which contains 9 improvements and fixes.

Windows users can install this update by entering Settings, clicking Windows Update, and manually performing a 'Check for Updates'.

The Windows 10 KB5044273 is a mandatory update and will automatically start installing in Windows after the user performs the check. For better management, users can schedule a time to complete the installation when the computer restarts.

After installing this update, Windows 10 22H2 will be updated to version 19045.5011, and Windows 10 21H2 will be updated to version 19044.5011.

TapTechNews attaches several problems fixed by Windows 10 KB5044273 as follows:

[Start Menu] This update may move the user's profile picture to a different location. The left pane of the menu also has a new background color.

[IE Mode] When users use IE Mode, the Edge browser sometimes stops responding.

[Media Playback] When using certain surround sound technologies, the playback of certain media may stop.

[Microsoft Entra single sign-on (SSO)] SSO notices that the prompt for the requirements of the European Digital Markets Act (DMA) is too frequent.

[National and Operator Settings Asset COSA] Let the COSA configuration files of certain mobile operators be updated to the latest version.

[File Explorer and Taskbar] When you use applications such as File Explorer and Taskbar, Windows Server fails to respond.

[Windows Update opt-in notification] Appears when the user logs in.

[Directory Enumeration] May cause failure if the directory contains a symbolic link with a long target name.

[Microsoft Defender for Endpoint] Files in the work folder cannot be synchronized when Defender for Endpoint is on.

Unfortunately, a long-standing problem still affects Windows 10. That is, when users open Start > Settings > Accounts > Your Information and try to change the profile picture, it will lead to the 0x80070520 error.
