July 9, 2024 Microsoft

On July 9, 2024, Microsoft released an update, KB5040435 (OS Build 26100.1150), featuring a slew of improvements to enhance the security and functionality of its operating system. This article will walk you through the key upgrades and fixes that this update offers to Microsoft users.

The primary focus of this update is to rectify the known issues in Windows 10. To this end, Microsoft has introduced a series of quality improvements. The most significant one is the resolution of an issue that caused the system to stop working when users attempted to play a game in full-screen or tablet mode. This fix will undoubtedly improve the user experience for gamers and tablet users.

Another crucial enhancement is the resolution of an issue that prevented the input method editor (IME) user interface from appearing. This was a significant problem for users who often switch between languages as it hindered the seamless switching between different IMEs. With the fix, the IME user interface should now function as expected.

Microsoft has also rectified a problem where some devices were unable to apply updates and were showing an error, PSFX_E_MATCHING_BINARY_MISSING. This issue was causing distress among users and hindering the smooth operation of the devices. With the fix, devices should be able to apply updates without any hitches.

The update also targets an issue that led to high memory and CPU utilization. Users had reported their devices slowing due to this problem. However, this fix should now ensure that devices can operate efficiently without unnecessarily high memory and CPU usage.

In terms of security, the OS Build 26100.1150 (KB5040435) has made strides to bolster the operating system's protection against potential threats. The update includes security updates for various components of the operating system, including Windows App Platform and Frameworks, Windows Input and Composition, Windows Media, Windows Silicon Platform, and more.

Of note, the update does not contain any new operating system features, suggesting that Microsoft's primary focus was to enhance the performance and security of its existing features.

Before updating, Microsoft advises users to install the latest servicing stack update (SSU) for their operating system. The SSUs improve the reliability of the update process to mitigate potential issues while installing the latest cumulative update (LCU).

In conclusion, the Microsoft OS Build 26100.1150 (KB5040435) is a significant update that addresses several crucial issues that were previously plaguing the operating system. By focusing on resolving these issues and enhancing security, Microsoft has taken a step towards improving the user experience and security of its operating system. Users are advised to install the update to benefit from these improvements.
