Key notes
Well, we’ve talked about the Windows 11 patch release, so it would be only fair that we also include his older brother in this conversation.
Yes, Microsoft also released a cumulative update for Windows 10 as well. KB5007253 is now rolling out to PCs running versions of the operating system such as 21H2, 21H1, 20H2, and 2004.
Like previous optional cumulative updates, this patch is rolling out via Windows Update. Additionally, Microsoft has also posted direct download links for Windows 10 KB5007253 offline installers on itsUpdate Catalog.
A wide array of fixes and improvements are here
KB5007253 is actually part of the November 2021 cumulative update and it is also the first patch for version 21H2 which was recently released in the production channel.
Of course, Build 19044.1382 or Build 19043.1382 is offered as an optional release. If you’ve already updated to version21H2 November 2021 Update, you’ll be getting Windows 10 Build 19044.1382.
On the other hand, if you’re on May 2021 Update, Microsoft will offer 19043.1382. Likewise, version 20H2 is getting Build 19043.1382.
Make sure you keep in mind that the build revision number is the only difference between these Windows 10 versions.
That’s because Windows 10 21H2, 21H1, and version 20H2 are based on the Vibranium release, which is the codebase of Windows 10 May 2020 Update, aka version 2004.
As far as fixes go, here’s what Redmond officials thought of:
November 2021 optional update includes various bug fixes and improvements for Windows 10 version 2004 and later.
For example, Microsoft fixed an issue that causes unexpected rendering issues when loading some variable fonts.
Another Windows 10 bug where letters or characters appear at the wrong angle has been fixed. Fortunately, this glitch only affected certain Asian languages, such as Japanese and Chinese.
Microsoft has also fixed issues where Microsoft Excel crashes on certain devices when you export to PDF.
An issue that affects the SearchFilterHost.exe process has been fixed. Additionally, the tech giant has also patched critical Windows printing errors like 0x00000709 when connecting to a remote printer.
Windows 10 19044.1382 addresses an issue that causes the Windows Settings page to unexpectedly. This happens on devices when users try to uninstall fonts from the Settings page.
Another bug affecting the UI for renaming files when using folder view in File Explorer has been resolved in Windows 10 update.
In addition to these improvements, Microsoft has also added support for a new –cd argument to Windows Subsystem for Linux (wsl.exe).
This would allow users to specify a Windows or Linux path as a starting directory for the subsystem.
