En parallèle à la publication de KB4043961 pour Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, Microsoft propose également la mise à jour KB4041688. Elle s’adresse aux PC sous Anniversary Update.
L’installation de KB4041688 permet au système d’exploitation d’évoluer à la version 14393.1794. Son contenu s’attaque à mettre en place une longue liste d’améliorations. Il y a également des problèmes connus mais non corrigés.
Le focus est une correction importante de bugs sans nouvelle fonctionnalité ni correctif de sécurité. Ces derniers sont traditionnellement proposés dans le cadre du Patch Tuesday programmé tous les deuxièmes mardi de chaque mois. Etant donné que cet update affine en quelque sorte les performances du système, il est recommandé de procéder à son installation.
Microsoft apporte des solutions à des soucis causés par une précédente mise à jour cumulative. Ceci concerne par exemple des problèmes de téléchargement de mises à jour à l’aide des fichiers d’installation express ou encore d’un bug empêchant Windows Error Reporting d’enregistrer ses rapports dans un dossier temporaire. Le fichier de version évoque aussi la résolution d’un problème provoquant l’ouverture de la barre de langue après la fermeture d’une application RemoteApp.
Vous trouverez la liste complète des corrections en fin d’article.
Windows 10 et KB4041688, trois problèmes connus
L’installation de KB4041688 n’est par contre pas parfaite puisque trois problèmes connus l’accompagne. Le premier provoque un échec des applications exploitant le moteur de base de données Microsoft Jet. Ceci peut se produire lors de la création ou l’ouverture d’un fichier Excel (*.xls). Microsoft propose une solution (disponible en fin d’article).
Il est possible que certains utilisateurs ayant une taille de texte d’icône supérieure ne soit pas en mesure de lancer le navigateur Internet Explorer. La seule façon de résoudre ce problème est de réduire la taille en question.
Enfin les applications Universal Windows Platform (UWP) utilisant JavaScript et asm.js peuvent s’arrêter de fonctionner après l’installation de KB4041688. Si cela se produit Microsoft recommande de procéder à leur désinstallation pour de refaire une installation.

Addressed issue where the PowerShell cmdlet that raises the farm behavior level fails with a timeout during the upgrade from the 2012 R2 AD FS farm to AD FS 2016. The failure occurs because there are many relying party trusts.
