Microsoft Confirms New Issues in Windows 10 Cumulative Update KB4487044 

Several of the cumulative updates for Windows 10 released by Microsoft as part of the February 2019 Patch Tuesday cycle are said to be causing two new issues that have recently been acknowledged by Microsoft.

First and foremost, there’s a new bug which Microsoft says could break down specific Internet Explorerfunctionality.

“After installing this update, Internet Explorer may fail to load images with a backslash (\) in their relative source path,” the company explains, adding that the easiest workaround is to “change the backslash (\) to a forward slash (/) in the relative path of the image element or change the relative path to the full URI path.”

The company explains it’s already working on a fix and will ship it to users at some point in the near future, most likely on the March 2019 Patch Tuesday cycle.

Internet Explorer is no longer the default browser in Windows 10, being replaced by Microsoft Edge. Microsoft has recently recommended against using Internet Explorer as the daily driver, pointing out it’s still being offered to Windows 10 users for compatibility reasons.New Microsoft Access issueAnd second of all, there’s a bug breaking down applications that use a Microsoft Jet database with the Microsoft Access 95 file format. Microsoft claims the issue causes these apps to randomly stop working. Surprisingly, the February Patch Tuesday fixes a similar glitch in Microsoft Access 97 databases.

Microsoft says the easiest workaround is to convert the database to the .accdb file format. A fix is already in the works and it should go live in late February for all Windows 10 devices.

The two bugs have already been confirmed in the following Windows 10 cumulative updates:
