Microsoft has launched another update for Windows 10, KB5039299, unrelated to security. This update focuses on resolving problems related to the taskbar, jump lists, and more. You can get it now from the Settings app or Microsoft Update Catalogue.
This update tackles an issue that could prevent an app’s jump list on the taskbar from functioning correctly. A second problem, linked to the default Japanese Input Method Editor (IME), makes the candidate window unresponsive when not anticipated.
KB5039299 finally makes Copilot behave like an app in Windows 10. This means you’ll be able to undock it, resize and move it, and even snap it out of a window.The update comes monthsafter the Redmond-based tech giant introduced it in Windows 11.
- New!We are advancing the Copilot experience on Windows. It is now pinned to the taskbar and will behave like an app. This gives you the benefits of a typical app experience. For example, you can do things like resize, move, and snap the window. PLEASE NOTE: Managed commercial devices will not receive this new experience. This includes devices not running Windows 10 Home and are managed by an IT administrator.
There is a solution to the problem that could happen when you right-click on certain apps. Instead of performing the task selected from their context menu, a dialog box for “Open with” appears, requiring you to specify how you would like the file opened.
This problem might impact any app that has tasks within its context menu. KB5039299 also relates to a recognized problem in Windows 10, where, among other indications,the icons on the taskbar and Start menu may cease functioning.
Here’sKB5039299’s full changelog:
