Earlier this week, Microsoft released an optional Windows 10 update that makes a few improvements to the Start menu and fixes a login error that’s been lingering for months without a resolution.
If you want to take advantage of this patch, which has update code KB5043133, you’ll have to manually apply it. Otherwise, you can wait until October. (More on this at the end.)
On the official support page for Windows 10 update KB5043133, Microsoft mentions a change to the Start menu that’s more visual than functional in nature, but one that’s still pretty interesting.
In short, you might see your profile picture in a different spot than it normally appears. The left pane of the Start menu now also has a different background color to help it stand out.
This update also fixes a login bug that some users have been dealing with since March. When automatically signing into Windows 10 via single sign-on (SSO), affected users were repeatedly prompted to sign in again when opening Microsoft services.
Affected users were mainly those who use Microsoft applications in conjunction with company SSO, and this bug was pretty time-consuming as it kept adding up. A welcome fix, even if we had to wait a while for it.
According to a blog post on the topic, there are more changes coming for SSO users to make signing in easier and more flexible.
A few other minor things of note in this patch: a fix for Microsoft Edge sometimes freezing in Internet Explorer mode, a fix for the Windows server sometimes freezing when using File Explorer or the taskbar, and a fix for Work Folder files failing to sync when Defender for Endpoint is on.
How to install this update
The KB5043131 update is currently only available to users on Windows 10 22H2 and must be installed manually.
To install it, go to Settings and then Windows Update, then check for new updates. You should see an update with code KB5043133 appear in the list as an optional update. Click Download and install to get it, then restart your PC to apply it.
If you don’t install this optional update, you’ll still receive all of the above when October Patch Day comes around.
