15 Ιουλίου 2020

The July 2020 Patch Tuesday updates for Windows 10 version 2004 and later are now rolling out and you can download and install the latest security fixes by checking for updates in the Settings.

Like every Patch Tuesday release, the cumulative update comes with security fixes and general bug fixes, and the patch is rolling out to PCs with May 2020 Update, November 2019 Update, May 2019 Update and later.

In the latest cumulative update for Windows 10 version 2004, version 1909 and version 1903, Microsoft says it has resolved an issue that might cause lsass.exe to fail with the error message, “A critical system process, C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe, failed with status code c0000008. The machine must now be restarted.”

As usual, there are security enhancements for Microsoft Store, classic Microsoft Edge browser, Microsoft Store, core components and other basic functions.

Below is the list of all new updates for Windows 10:

Build 19041.388 for version 2004

The first cumulative update for Windows 10, version 2004 is KB 4565503 and it comes with these fixes:

  • Addresses an issue in certain apps that use the ImeMode property to control Input Method Editor (IME) mode in Windows 10, version 2004 (the May 2020 Update). For example, this issue prevents input mode from automatically switching to Kanji or Hiragana. For more information, see KB4564002 and the blog post, Getting the May 2020 Update Ready for Release – UPDATED.
  • Addresses an issue that might prevent you from using PowerShell to change the system locale on Server Core platforms.

Symptom Workaround
After installing this update on a Windows 10 device with a wireless wide area network (WWAN) LTE modem, reaching the internet might not be possible. However, the Network Connectivity Status Indicator (NCSI) in the notification area might still indicate that you are connected to the internet.
