Windows 10 Cumulative Update KB4512941 delivers bizarre new orange screenshots bug

[steven36]

Microsoft’s latest Cumulative Update KB4512941 for Windows 10 May 2019 Update(1903) may be Microsoft’s buggiest yet, with the update already know for being plagued with high CPU usage bugs and crippled search.

 

 

On Microsoft Answers one user notes:

My screen turns red when I capture a screenshot. How can I turn it off? I haven’t changed any settings; yesterday it was fine. I tried using different snipping tools, and the regular PrtSc button. All red.

I have the night mode off, and everything else is regular.

Another note:

I am having the same problem, or maybe a bit worse.

When I start Windows, the login screen looks good, but when I put my credentials and the desktop is shown, it gradually starts turning red. The only element that remains with the correct colour is the mouse pointer.

This is an example of how my screen looks like while reading this post.

 

 

Now reports of a new bug are filtering in, with users reporting that their screenshots all having an orange tint, no matter which method or app they use to take them.

 

 

The issue appears to be related to older video drivers, as updating drivers (or uninstalling KB4512941) appears to fix this problem. Microsoft has not yet added the issue to the known issues of the update.

With Patch Tuesday coming up soon, I'm doubting whether Microsoft will fix this problem. Something wrong with the Insider feedbacks.

This is not a insider release , Consumers reported this bug  Insiders are alpha testers and consumers are beta testers for businesses.   Most Windows 10 fanboys be in denial that bugs even exist in Windows 10. So yes they big problem with insider feedback.  In order  for a insider to be useful at all they must be able to reproduce the bug or have it to begin with . Saying  it's all good all the time and just being insider to get builds faster is no help to no one that uses windows . That's why they need to hire some paid testers  that have access to the source code. They try to be like open source and use community feed back but unlike open source people can't contribute a fix to windows and many will never acknowledge anything is wrong.  . A lot of stuff gets fixed in open source because someone  in the community post the code to fix it. With Windows they push out untested updates and wait on users to complain and when they fix one bug it causes more bugs..

Microsoft's customers are its testers. So there are a lot of them, but technically they aren't employees. Most software companies pay testers to test their software.

Microsoft testers pay Microsoft to test their software. Profit!!!

 

The fix is to update  your  graphics drivers but the biggest problem is  some old hardware running Windows 10 don't  have driver updates in years . you can try to reinstall them if no updates and see do that help if you are effected or just use 3rd party screen shot software  there plenty of them on this site .

 

. AMD  graphics drivers had way worse problems they plagued users with a pink tinted screen for years on Windows  and the fix was simple  open AMD Catalyst Control Center find "Color Temperature Control" and check the box of the option "Use Extended Display Identification Data (EDID)". and you had to do it every time you updated your drivers.

 

That's the whole problem with Windows 10 it's a never ending bug fest. 95% of Windows users don't know how to do nothing but turn on a computer so they have to hire someone to fix it . Even most business users know nothing that's why they have ITs . Technically  inclined people can mange it if they know how to trouble shoot and  use 3rd party programs instead of the garbageware free programs Microsoft makes . Rule of Thumb ..If it was any good Microsoft would charge you extra for it . Anything free Microsoft offers there is a free or paid version alternative that's better out there .People just use baked in stuff because it's baked into something they charge for to get out of having to install something else better and sometimes having to pay extra  because Windows is plagued with shareware and rentware.

 

It's like the other bugs  using a 3rd party search program fixes  it all  like using Everything I never used windows built in search . Just turn off the search index , if you turn off the cortana search the cpu bug doesn't appear  and just use Everything or another one. I's like the start menu bugs that  plagued Windows 10 forever  using a 3rd party program instead fixes it. Most bugs in Windows 10 are baked in program problems . Like When Windows 10 was playing ugly with my firewall program  it was Windows Defender that caused it . Disabling it fixed it so i had to install a 3rd party program that played nice instead.

 

You have 3 choices . 1. trouble shoot , tweak and use 3rd party programs . 2 . Just live with the bugs and pray M$ gets around to fixing them in a update .3 install Linux and / or older windows  and use it instead .. I  chose number 3 . a long time ago.

If someone doesn't like a Ford they go and buy something else, they don't keep buying Fords and constantly complaining about them so why do people keep using this junk software for personal use?

 

It does no good to complain  I been reading about bugs in Windows  10 since June 2015  and after i got tired of the abuse  i found a alternative . They release new versions of Windows 10 with new bugs before they get all the bugs out the old version .So they have downstream and upstream bugs 365 days a year they never going to go away tell they stop releasing Windows 10 with new features and still a security update every now and then will  come along and break things.

Today's joke about Microsoft: Microsoft is NOT a software company, it is an ABUSE company. When you consider that purpose, it is managed very well.
