Microsoft releases a patch for Windows that corrects slow system shutdown, among other bugs

As we informed you just a few days ago, a problem was detected in Windows 10 related to USB Type-C devices that caused the computer to shut down or go into hibernation in a much slower way than we are used to.

In fact, this is something that Microsoft itself admitted claiming it was working on a solution. More specifically, the Redmond-based firm said that simply shutting down a computer with Windows 10 and compatible with USB Type-C devices could extend the shutdown of the device in more than one minute under certain conditions. This came because Windows 10 October 2018 Update does not work well with the software interface of the mentioned connector due to an error in its implementation.

This means that if we are turning off the PC and a USB Type-C device is being connected or disconnected, the process could get quite long. It is also true that the error is not a big problem, since the computer and the USB device will continue to function normally after the restart, but it is something that should be corrected. Well, as we know now, the firm has just released a new update for Windows 10 in which Microsoft says that this error has been resolved in the May 2019 Update or 1903 version.

Therefore, the company advises the affected users to install this recent version of the system as soon as possible, since it corrects the problem of slow shutdown, although for the moment it has not been confirmed if it also plans to correct this same error in 1809, that is, on Windows 10 October 2018 Update. Thus, what is also achieved is that a greater number of users finally decide to install on their computers the most modern and updated version of the operating system, one of Microsoft's main objectives for a long time.

Other fixes included in the new Windows 10 update

 

But this bug that we are referring to has not been the only one that has been solved in the new update, but other elements have been patched. We say this because in the new cumulative update of Windows 10, KB4501375, released for version 1903 of the system, other problems that had not been solved until now have been solved.

For example, some users were reporting that some screenshots taken in Windows 10 1903 were somewhat yellowish, and apparently this is an error that came because the F.lux functionality that is running in the background, had some problems with the May 2019 Update, since the color profiles of this feature are not loaded when the system is restarted with the quick start option. In fact this is something that was recognized as an error and users were advised to disable this quick start to avoid faulty screenshots.

However, in this recent update, this is a bug that has already been corrected, as is the case with the custom view error in the Event Viewer of the operating system, among others, as a redirection problem between Microsoft Edge and the Internet Explorer 11.
