Microsoft Releases Build 19043.1202 for Windows 10 in Preview with Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements

Although the prominence these days takes it Windows 11, Microsoft does not abandon their current operating system and a few hours ago they announced the launch of a new compilation aimed at users who are part of the Insider Program for Windows on the Preview channel. This is Build 19043.1202 for Windows 10 21H1.

A build that focuses primarily on bug fixes and includes all the improvements that already come with build 19043.1200. Fixes in Windows Update, bug fixes related to images in SDR, problems with USB audio … This is the complete list of improvements.

Improvements and fixes

• Fixed a bug that caused the Windows Update settings page to stop responding after downloading an optional update.
• Fixed an issue that prevented users from tracking Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) activation failures.
• Fixed a threading issue that could cause the Windows Remote Management (WinRM) service to stop working when under high load.
• Fixes an issue that caused the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) provider host process to stop working. This occurs because of an uncontrolled access violation that occurs when the Desired State Setting (DSC) is used.
• Fixed an issue that caused file migration between Distributed File System (DFS) paths that are stored on different volumes to fail. This problem occurs when you implement the migration using PowerShell scripts that use the Move-Item command.
• Addresses an issue that prevented you from writing to a WMI repository after a low memory condition occurred.

• Fixed an issue that resets the brightness of standard dynamic range (SDR) content on high dynamic range (HDR) monitors. This occurs after you reboot the system or reconnect to the system remotely.
• Fixed an issue that could cause an external monitor to display a black screen after hibernation. This problem can occur when the external monitor is connected to a docking station through a certain hardware interface.
• Fixed a memory leak that occurs when using nested classes within VBScript.
• Fixed an issue that prevented you from typing words in the username box during the out-of-the-box experience (OOBE) process. This problem occurs when you use the Chinese Input Method Editor (IME).
• Fixed an issue that caused applications using a shim to stop working. This problem occurs on devices that do not have edgegdi.dll installed. The error message is “Code execution cannot continue because edgegdi.dll was not found.”
• Fixes an issue that could prevent you from minimizing an application that uses themed windows.
• Addresses an issue that could cause your device to stop working during a touch input gesture. This issue occurs if you put more fingers in contact with the touchpad or screen during the middle of the gesture.
• Fixed an issue with image resizing that could cause flickering and residual line artifacts.
• Fixes an issue when copying and pasting a text box in Office 365 applications. IME prevents you from inserting text into the text box.
• Fixed an issue preventing USB audio headphones from working on laptops that support USB audio download.
• Fixed an issue that prevents code integrity rules from working correctly when specifying package family name rules in a code integrity policy. This problem occurs because of the incorrect handling of case-sensitive names.

• Fixed an issue that prevents the ShellHWDetection service from starting on a Privileged Access Workstation (PAW) device and prevents you from managing BitLocker drive encryption.
• Fixed an issue in Windows Defender Exploit Protection that prevents some Microsoft Office applications from working on machines that have certain processors.
• Fixed an issue that caused the IME toolbar to appear even when the remote app was closed.
• Fixed an issue that could occur when configuring the policy, “Delete user profiles older than a specified number of days when rebooting the system.” If a user has been logged in for longer than specified in the policy, the device might unexpectedly delete profiles during startup.
• Microsoft has fixed an issue with the Microsoft OneDrive sync settings “Always keep on this device.” Settings are unexpectedly reset to “Known folders only” after installing Windows updates.
• Microsoft fixes an issue that provides an incorrect Furigana result when a user cancels the Japanese retrain.
• Fixed a rare condition that prevented the Bluetooth headset from connecting using the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) for music playback, causing the headset to only work for voice calls.
• Policy “Target Product Version” has been added. With this, administrators can specify the Windows product that they want devices to migrate to or remain on (for example, Windows 10 or Windows 11).
• The default number of entries in the Local Security Authority (LSA) search cache has been increased to improve search performance in high search volume scenarios.
• Fixed an issue that could create duplicate built-in local accounts, such as an administrator or guest account, during an in-place upgrade. This problem occurs if you previously renamed those accounts. As a result, the Local Users and Groups MMC (msc) snap-in appears blank without accounts after upgrade. This update removes duplicate accounts from the local Security Accounts Manager (SAM) database on affected machines. If the system detected and removed duplicate accounts, it records a Directory-Services-SAM event, ID 16986, in the system event log.

• Fixed an issue that could cause transfer validations to fail with the error “HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component”. This problem occurs when you use Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2012 as fonts.
• Fixed an issue that could cause a system to stop working after a deduplication filter detected corruption at a scan point. This problem occurs because of deduplication driver changes introduced in a previous update.
• Fixed an issue with using the robocopy command with the backup option (/ B) to correct data loss. This issue occurs when the source location contains tiered Azure File Sync files or tiered cloud files.
• Over 1,400 new mobile device management (MDM) policies have been enabled. With them, you can configure policies that are also compatible with group policies. These new MDM policies include Administrative Template (ADMX) policies such as App Compat, Event Forwarding, Service, and Task Scheduler. Starting in September 2021, you can use the Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM) Configuration Catalog to configure these new MDM policies.

If you belong to the Release Preview Channel within the Insider Program, you can download the update by going the usual route, that is, “Settings> Update and Security> Windows Update”.
