Microsoft débute cette semaine avec la publication d’une nouvelle mise à jour cumulative Windows 10, KB5016688. Proposée de manière facultative, il s’agit d’une « preview » du contenu prévu pour le prochain Patch Tuesday.
Il ne s’attaque pas à la sécurité. Nous retrouvons des améliorations qui seront déployées de manière automatique lors de la prochaine grande maintenance mensuelle de Microsoft. Elle est prévue le deuxième mardi de chaque mois. Si vous souhaitez découvrir dès maintenant ce contenu, il suffit de se rendre dans Windows Update pour déclencher le téléchargement et l’installation.
KB5016688 vise les dernières versions de Windows 10 encore prises en charge soit Windows 10 20H2, 21H1 et 21H2. Une fois installée elle permet au système d’exploitation d’évoluer en version 19042.1949, 19043.1949 et 19044.1949. Ces nombres sont importants car ils permettent de s’assurer rapidement que tout s’est bien déroulé. Pour les trouver il suffit de lancer winver.exe dans « Exécuter ».
Windows 10 et KB5016688, les faits marquants
Nous avons droit à de nombreux correctifs dont l’un s’attaque à Edge. Le navigateur ne doit plus planter si le mode IE a été activé. Ce bug est problématique car cette option de compatibilité IE est cruciale depuis que le navigateur Internet Explorer a déjà officiellement abandonné.
Parmi la liste des différentes corrections voici les faits les plus marquants. Microsoft a résolu
- un problème d’échec de certaines installations de jeux en raison d’un souci de licence.
- un problème qui affecte les couleurs des icônes de la liste dans l’application rechercher,
- Un dysfonctionnement susceptible de provoquer une erreur 0x1E lors de l’arret et du redémarrage d’un périphérique,
- Un bug qui entraîne l’échec de l’activation d’un abonnement dans certaines conditions.
La bonne nouvelle est que KB5016688 n’introduit aucun nouveau problème connu. Microsoft indique par contre trois soucis avec des solutions de contournement disponibles ou des solutions en déploiement (KIR).
