Windows 10 KB5014699 is out, what’s new?

Published:

The update for Windows 10 KB5014699, has been released to the production channel. Although there aren’t any glaring new features or enhancements with this cumulative update, it does include a number of bug fixes. The offline setup packages for Windows 10 version KB5014699 can be directly downloaded from the Microsoft Update Catalog.

The June 2022 Patch Tuesday release includes the security update KB5014699. Since Windows 10 is no longer Microsoft’s top operating system, no major changes will be included in the next cumulative update.

Microsoft has undoubtedly solved a number of problems, including an issue where some applications, like as Outlook or Excel, won’t run. This is due to Microsoft’s dedication to maintaining support for Windows XP even as development continues on Windows 11 (version 22H2).

App crashes with misleading error messages have been observed by Windows 10 users, as we noted lately. To reduce the number of times their apps break, some users have stopped receiving Windows Updates. This issue only affects customers who have the most recent upgrades for.NET Framework, and it manifests itself when users launch their preferred application.

Microsoft has been working on a solution to the app crashes for some time, but Windows 10 has lately encountered a new flaw that causes programmes that rely on the graphics processing unit to fail. It appears that the remaining app bugs have been resolved in Windows 10 Build 19044.1766, and most apps should now work smoothly.

Release Notes for Windows 10 Version KB5014699 (Build 19044.1766)

Microsoft is fixing a problem with the Japanese half-width katakana alphabet by adding support for sorting version 6.4.3. Another issue that stopped users from signing in to Azure Active Directory without being enrolled has been resolved (AAD).

Update

Apparently, business users are the primary focus for the majority of the problem solutions. For instance, Microsoft has addressed a problem that might have prevented the AnyCPU software from executing in 64-bit mode. In addition, a problem that prevented Azure Desired State Configuration (DSC) situations with several partial setups from functioning as intended has been rectified.

There was a problem with making remote procedure calls to the Win32 User or Win32 Group WMI class, but that has been resolved in Windows 10 Build 19044.1766. Another error that occurred while adding a trusted user, group, or machine to an existing one-way trust configuration was corrected.

The window frame wouldn’t update properly while using Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge, but that’s been fixed now.

Equally, Windows 10 now has a permanent fix for a rare bug that prevents Excel or Outlook from launching. One more problem that was affecting always-on Windows PCs has been resolved by Microsoft.
