  • Works upon a known issue that might prevent the successful installation of printers using the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP).
  • Resolves an issue on File Explorer because of which it stops responding and Event 1000 with exception error code 0xc0000005 is logged in. 
  • Improves a bug on JScript9.dll with PropertyGet.
  • Earlier, some of the system apps encounter unexpected results when rendering some user interface elements or when drawing within the app. This problem is triggered only when the apps use GDI+ and set a zero (0) width pen object on displays with high dots per inch (DPI) or resolution, or if the app is using scaling.
