• With the onset of this patch for 1809, there won’t appear blank tiles in the Start Menu, especially while updating the existing OS. The commonly occurring tiles previously were either “ms-resource:appDisplayName” or “ms-resource: AppName”. Moreover, installing this cumulative update will not remove existing blank tiles in case you have already updated the OS.
• Resolves an issue that increases the power consumption on a device when Connected Standby mode is at its peak. 
• Addresses an anomaly that prevents users from reconnecting or signing in to Windows Virtual Desktops because of an orphaned database handle from a previous user session. 
• The Company improves the time zone information of Fiji Islands, Norfolk Island, and Australia. 
• Earlier, indexing to Microsoft Outlook items simply fails and displays incorrect results if inquired in the search of virtual desktops.
• Rectifies an issue that causes Windows Machine Learning (WinML) to throw an unhandled exception when a graphics driver times out. 
• Improves a bug that might confine the scroll bar from being selected when an ActiveX control implements the CScrollView class. This bug arises if you move the Internet Explorer window, which then moves the scroll bar to the left. 
• Rectifies an access control list (ACL) check for Known Folders to prevent a black screen that appears the first time a user signs in after installing a feature or quality update. 
• Works upon an anomaly that causes Microsoft SharePoint file names to appear incorrectly in the Quick access and Recent items folders. 
• Resolves the Bluetooth issue that comes into effect while using certain audio profiles for extended periods. 
• KB4520062 addresses the underlying cause behind a query of the Win32_LogonSession class for the StartTime to display the value of the epoch (for example, 1-1-1601 1:00:00) rather than the actual logon time. 
• Build 17763.832 resolves the diagnostic data processing issue that appears when a device has the Diagnostic data setting enabled and set to Basic. 
• Resolves an anomaly that involves evaluating the compatibility status of the Windows ecosystem to help ensure application and device compatibility for all updates to Windows. 

Some Other Fixes

• Resolves trouble that prohibits users from opening the print dialog in Internet Explorer to print a webpage. 
• Introduces support to allow removable drives and assigned access restrictions. 
• The experts work on an anomaly that causes printing from 32-bit applications to fail with an “Access is denied” error when you select Run as a different user for the application.

• The team addresses an issue that causes all Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) dynamic ports to be consumed. As a result, network communications will fail for any protocol or operation using dynamic ports.
• The company improves the issue with applications and scripts that call either WinNT provider or NetQueryDisplayInformation API. They may fail to return results after the first page of data, often 50 or 100 entries. When requesting additional pages, you may receive the error, “1359: an internal error occurred.” 
• Microsoft resolves an issue that prevents Computer objects from being added to local groups using the Group Policy Preference “Local Users and Groups”. The Group Policy Editor returns the error message, “The object selected does not match the type of destination source. Select again.”
• Rectifies an issue with a race condition between the volume mount process (within fileinfo.sys) and the deregistration of filter notifications that causes the operating system to stop working on certain virtual machines. The error code is “0x7E.”

• Resolves a bug that may cause error 0x50 to occur when a backup operation is being performed.

Type: REG_DWORD

Value: 1
