Windows 10 KB5061087 fixes incorrect version reporting, Start menu bugs, and more

Following the news about a free year of Windows 10 security updates (there are some strings attached), Microsoft is releasing a new non-security update for its decade-old operating system. Today, Microsoft shipped KB5061087 (build number 10945.6036) with a pretty long list of fixes.

In today's update, Windows 10 users get fixes for the Settings app incorrectly reporting Windows version, issues with Multi-Function printers with dual protocol interface, disappearing jump list in the Start menu, and other bugs.

Here is the changelog:

• [Mobile Operator Profiles]
  • Updated: Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA) profiles.
• [App Platforms and Frameworks]
  • Fixed: An issue affecting Component Object Model (COM) functionality on Windows platforms. Remote COM activations were failing with error 0x8001011.
  • Updated: The version of the curl tool included in Windows is updated to v8.13.0.
• [Authentication Platform]
  • Fixed: An issue affecting the device registration in Entra ID Windows Account Manager (WAM) plugin.
• [Input and Composition]
  • Fixed: An issue affecting the complete removal of unused language packs and Feature on Demand (FOD) packages. This issue led to unnecessary storage use and increased Windows update installation time.
• [Print and Peripherals]
  • Fixed: An issue affecting USB-connected Multi-Function printers with dual protocol interfaces. Scanning failed and prevented using the built-in scanning functionality in the operating system.
• [Start Menu]
  • Fixed: An issue causing jump lists to disappear from the Start Menu.
  • Fixed: An issue where the Start Menu was not starting after installing an update.
• [WinSaS]
  • Fixed: Settings > System > About incorrectly shows version 2009 instead of version 22H2.
  • Change of behavior: To maintain DMA compliance in the European Economic Area (EEA), when a new default browser is set, it is automatically pinned to the Taskbar and Start menu.
  • Change of behavior: Associates HTTP and .pdf file types when setting default browser.
• [Servicing]
  • Fixed: An issue where Kiosk devices using the ForceAutoLogon configuration and Shift Override might stop responding with a blue screen after being locked and unlocked by support administrators.
• [File Server]
  • Fixed: An issue where the system may stop responding when acknowledging an Oplock break request on resources located on SMB shares.

Known issues include a single bug with Noto fonts appearing blurry in Chromium-based browsers such as Edge or Chrome. For now, the only fix is to set your screen scaling to 125% or higher.

As usual, feel free to skip KB5061087 if you do not need any of those fixes. Non-security updates are optional, and they eventually arrive with monthly Patch Tuesday updates. You can get KB5061087 from Windows Update or the Microsoft Update Catalog using this link.
