News, Reviews & Betas which includes large community peer support It has been an exciting week in the world of Microsoft thanks to lots of Windows updates and builds, and the Surface Laptop SE and Windows 11 SE. Find out more about this in our latest weekly digest.
We are at the close of another week and while there was no Ignite conference in this one, it was still a pretty packed week due to multiple Windows updates, new Microsoft hardware, and some collaborations. Find out more about the aforementioned topics as well as lots of others in our weekly digest for November 7 — November 12. Microsoft releases cumulative updates for its operating systems on the second Tuesday of each month, and this time was no different. Windows 7 is still supported until the start of 2023 for those who are subscribed to Extended Security Updates (ESU) and users of the OS got some fixes for printer issues and zero width Pen not behaving correctly. Windows 8.1 had similar fixes for printer issues but the patch notes for both the operating systems still note some more printer problems and their respective workarounds. Be sure to check out their details here. The Windows 10 Patch Tuesday notes were quite similar too. Microsoft highlighted some security updates and a fix for a zero width Pen, but pointed out a bunch of other known issues related to Edge installation, printer, and updates not installing correctly. The company noted that due to the «minimal operations during the holidays and the upcoming Western new year», there won’t be any C release in the month of December. However, the B release or Patch Tuesday security updates will be released as per the normal schedule. Find out more about this here. Interestingly, the Windows 11 Patch Tuesday fixed a few problems but apparently has no known issues. That’s not all when it comes to the OS though. Dev Channel Insiders were treated to build 22449 which notably adds the ability to quickly share open app windows on the taskbar directly with Microsoft Teams calls. That said, this capability will be rolled out in a staggered manner. There are tons of other bug fixes and known issues that you can check out here too. Yesterday, Microsoft also released build 22449.1010 to the Dev Channel, but it brought no changes as it is just a servicing update. The Beta Channel was not forgotten either. Insiders on that ring received build 22000.
