14 DAY TRIAL // The most recent cumulative update rollout does not include a patch for Windows 10 version 1903, which is the most recent stable version of the operating system, but it does bring new improvements to devices running Windows 10 version 1809.
Also known as October 2018 Update, or the buggiest Windows 10 feature update in a long time, version 1809 is bumped to build 17763.774 after installing cumulative update KB4516077 – to check the version, click the Start menu and type winver.
Offered as an optional update, KB4516077 is all about non-security improvements, bringing a huge changelog (which you can find in full below).
For consumers, this update fixes an issue that prevented random minimized windows from being restored, closed or maximized, while also resolving an odd behavior in File Explorer that display incorrect folder and file properties.
Yet another high CPU usage bug finally resolved
Additionally, cumulative update KB4516077 comes to fix display brightness changes when resuming a device from Sleep or Hibernation. Microsoft says the problem was limited to certain graphics drivers, without any other specifics provided.
For Calculator users, KB4516077 finally addresses a problem that caused the app to close unexpectedly when a Converter option was selected within the main screen.
Fixing high CPU usage bugs has become one of the things that Microsoft does regularly, it seems, and cumulative update KB4516077 introduces a new tweak that falls in the same category. This update resolves a problem causing excessive CPU usage when switching apps or hovering their icons in the taskbar.
This update isn’t offered as an automatic update on Windows Update, but it’s available to all seekers running Windows 10 October 2018 Update. To get it, it’s enough to simply fire up the Windows Update screen and manually check for updates.
