The odd thing: Windows 7 reached on Janury 14, 2020 the end of life, so regular users don't get more updates. Only customers who bought ESU support are receiving updates up to 2023.<\/p>\n<h2>Bug confirmed, fixe for ESU customers announced<\/h2>\n<p>Last Friday Microsoft has updated the support article <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/help\/4534310\/windows-7-update-kb4534310\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KB4534310<\/a> and added a 'known issue' section with the note:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>After installing <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/help\/4534310\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KB4534310<\/a>, your desktop wallpaper might display as black when set to <strong>Stretch<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That's what we all know (and what I've written within previous blog posts. Microsoft also wrote last Friday that they were working on a fix. Customers who booked the Extended Security Update Program (ESU) with a support extension through updates for 2020 should receive a fix update. Normal users would have gone away empty-handed, triggering a shit-storm against Microsoft.<\/p>\n<h2>Microsoft takes the U turn<\/h2>\n<p>This night I got a <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2020\/01\/22\/windows-7-update-kb4534310-causes-a-black-desktop\/#comment-7504\">user comment<\/a> to the blog post <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2020\/01\/26\/windows-7-update-kb4534310-black-desktop-bug-confirmed\/\">Windows 7 Update KB4534310: Black Desktop Bug confirmed<\/a>, that Microsoft has made an U turn.
