Microsoft has scheduled the release of Windows 11 Build 22H2 on September 20, according to tech sources. It includes several features and upgrades.

New touch gestures and animations, as well as program folders in the Start menu, are included in this version. Live Captions, a new feature from Microsoft, will also debut. That’s great news for those who are deaf or hard of hearing, as well as anybody else interested in captioning audio.

The Verge reports the Task Manager in Windows 11 22H2 will get a makeover, with a revamped dark mode, a cleaner interface, and features including a new command bar and an efficiency mode to prevent apps from wasting resources.

Each of the possible app-arrangement designs will be visible with a simple drag-and-drop in 22H2, thanks to the vast improvements coming to Snap Layouts at that time.

Users are able to share their Wi-Fi connection with other devices, such as smartphones and tablets, by making use of the hotspot function on their device. When connecting to the internet, host devices can do so using either Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or a cellular data connection.

An update for Windows was distributed by Microsoft earlier this past week. Following the installation of that update by Microsoft, a previously undiscovered issue with the Wi-Fi hotspot feature was found.

If you require a hotspot, it looks that deleting the update is the best course of action. Microsoft has not yet made available a patch for the issue, but we hope that will change shortly.

If you are needing help with hotspot issues, please give us a call at 1-800-620-5285.  Karls Technology is a nationwide computer service company with offices in many major cities.  This blog post is brought to you by our staff at the Las Vegas Computer Repair Service.

Microsoft has released a patch to address a problem triggered by a previous patch that was intended to address a different type of issue. The company has released an out-of-band (OOB) update that addresses a fault that prevented applications downloaded from the Windows Store from operating properly on the PCs.

We shared a blog post back in January, explaining what an OOB is. Out-of-band patches are updates delivered outside of the standard release timetable. A patch, sometimes known as a “fix,” is a short technique for repairing software.

Microsoft states that, “After installing KB5011831 or later updates, you might receive an error code: 0xC002001B when attempting to install from the Microsoft Store.”

Simply put, some Microsoft Store applications may fail to launch. And to resolve the problem, Microsoft released cumulative update KB5015020. It will not be automatically installed, so users will need to personally install the patch for it to be fixed.

Go to Updates in your Settings app and select the update. Then download and install.

Users of Windows 11 are advised to uninstall a recent update, according to Microsoft.

Named “KB5012643”, this particular update has been causing a ruckus. Many programs are crashing as a result of the optional update, according to various sources.

One of the issues is the interaction between the update and .Net Framework, which is pre-installed on Windows. Because it is presently unknown which programs are afflicted by the problem, the only solution is to remove the update. Doing so is simple and effective.

How to uninstall this update:

1. Locate ‘Windows Update Settings’ in the start menu.
2. Click ‘View Update History’ from that window.
3. ‘Uninstall Update’ should be selected.
4. Locate ‘KB5012643’ and choose ‘Uninstall’.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, Microsoft has released a handful of troublesome updates to its users. The most recent one, Windows 10 KB4556799, has issued a plethora of problems – including the Blue Screen of Death and reverting back to default settings. There’s no telling how many users are being affected by this issue. However, if you are one of them, the best thing to do is to uninstall the update.

Uninstalling problematic updates is pretty simple and will help get your computer back up to working order.

Here’s how to uninstall updates:

1. Go to Start Menu
2. Settings
3. Update & Security
4. Under Check for updates, click on View update history
5. Click on Uninstall updates

This will open up a window showing all of the updates, with the most recent on top. From there, click on the update needing to be uninstalled, right click it, and choose uninstall. If there are certain KB (Knowledge Base) number updates that are needing to be uninstalled, using the Search Installed Updates box in the top right corner of the control panel window is a convenient and quick way of finding it.

It is encouraged that you write down any KB numbers, as they may be needed later on.

A number of factors could result in your PC running slower than usual. It could possibly be low on memory, too many programs opened, or even malware.

Just recently, the Microsoft Feedback Hub was filled with complaints about their PC’s high CPU (central processing unit) usage after updating the OS with Windows 10 patches. Thankfully, the latest patch remedied this particular issue.

“The tech site says that patch KB5001391 has cured this spiking processor usage problem, at least according to reports from some users, although little detail has been provided about what this bug actually was (save for being a ‘race condition’ where two running processes start grabbing an inordinate amount of system resources, slowing everything else down).”

If you are having this same issue with your PC, simply head over to the ‘Check for Updates’ section of the Windows Update in the Settings app. The optional KB5001391 will show up under the “View optional updates” link.
