Windows 10 2004: Kumulatives Update KB4568831

[English]Zum 31. Juli 2020 hat Microsoft das kumulative (Preview) Update KB4568831 für das Windows 10 Mai 2020 Update (Version 2004) sowie die Windows Server-Pendants freigegeben. Das Update soll einige Fehler beseitigen.  Hier ein Überblick über die betreffenden Pakete.

Vorbemerkungen zu den Windows 10 Updates

Die Informationen finden sich in der Windows 10 Update-History-Seite. Zu beachten ist, dass der Support für ältere Windows 10 Versionen ausgelaufen ist. Windows 10 Home und Windows 10 Pro erhalten dann keine Update mehr. Seit Juli 2020 hat Microsoft die nicht sicherheitsrelevanten Versionen für Windows 10 und Windows Server, Version 1809 und später, wieder aufgenommen.

Wichtig: Ab Juli 2020 deaktivieren alle Windows Updates die RemoteFX vGPU-Funktion aufgrund der Sicherheitslücke CVE-2020-1036 (siehe auch KB4570006). Nach der Installation dieses Updates schlagen Versuche, virtuelle Maschinen (VM) zu starten, bei denen RemoteFX vGPU aktiviert ist, fehl. Mehr Informationen finden sich in den nachfolgend verlinkten KB-Artikeln.

Das Update ist optional und wird nur angeboten, wenn der Nutzer explizit in der Einstellungen-Seite nach Updates suchen lässt. Die Installation sollte nur erfolgen, wenn der Download explizit vom Nutzer angestoßen wird (hier würde mich interessieren, ob das Update bei Leuten automatisch installiert wird). Wer das Preview-Update jetzt nicht installiert, bekommt die Patches zum August 2020. Es sind einige der bekannten Probleme aus Windows 10 2004 behoben worden.

Das Update lässt sich auch aus dem Microsoft Update Catalog herunterladen und installieren. Im WSUS wird es nicht angeboten. Es ist aber darauf zu achten, dass das neueste Servicing Stack Update (SSU) installiert ist. Microsoft listet ein bekanntes Problem mit diesem Update auf: Bei der Verwendung einiger Anwendungen, wie z. B. Microsoft Excel, erhalten Benutzer des Microsoft Input Method Editor (IME) für Chinesisch und Japanisch möglicherweise einen Fehler, oder die Anwendung reagiert nicht mehr oder wird geschlossen, wenn sie versucht, mit der Maus zu ziehen. Weitere Informationen und Workaround-Schritte finden Sie unter KB4564002.

Zudem hat Microsoft für Windows 10 direkte Verbesserungen am Update Client vorgenommen, um dessen Zuverlässigkeit zu verbessern.
