What's fixed and improved in KB503929

The KB5039299 update comes with ten bug fixes or changes, including fix for an issue where MSIX packages do not work when downloading them using an HTTPS URI.

Here's the full list of changes:

  • This update addresses an issue that affects MSIX applications. When you install them from an HTTPS URI, they fail to open. This issue occurs when the download of the application is not complete. This damages the package.

  • This update affects mobile device management (MDM). When you enroll a device, the MDM client sends more details about the device. The MDM service uses those details to identify the device model and the company that made it.

  • This update addresses an issue that affects Direct Composition batched presentations. A brief flash of triangles or boxes show on the screen. This issue affects browsers, like Microsoft Edge, and other apps.

  • This update brings Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA) profiles up to date for certain mobile operators.

  • This update addresses an issue that might stop your system from resuming from hibernate. This occurs after you turn on BitLocker.

  • This update addresses an issue that affects Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC). The issue copies unsigned WDAC policies to the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) disk partition. It is reserved for signed policies.

  • This update addresses an issue that affects a folder context menu. When you choose the command that removes items, the command adds items instead. This occurs when a third-party service implements a sync feature.

Microsoft also fixed an issue that caused Windows 10 apps to mistakenly display a "How do you want to open this file?" dialog box when attempting to right-click on the program's icon in the Start Menu or Taskbar and perform a registered task.

As for known issues, Microsoft is still trying to fix one of the longest-standing bugs, which causes problems when changing a user account profile picture.

When attempting to change a profile picture by selecting the button Start> Settings > Account > Your info and, under Create your picture, clicking on Browse for one, you might receive an error message with error code 0x80070520.

You can find the complete list of fixes in the KB5039299 support bulletin.
