What are the other KB5037849 fixes for Windows 10?

As we’ve mentioned above, KB5037849 also brings a couple of other significant fixes for Windows 10 users:

However, Microsoft also acknowledges some of the problems you may face after applying this update. For instance, if you’re using multiple monitors, you might see some desktop icons moving from one monitor to another and experience icon alignment issues when you’re using Copilot.

To prevent this problem, Microsoft restricted the use of Copilot in Windows (in preview) on devices that are using multiple monitor configurations.

Also, you should know that Copilot won’t show up if your taskbar is located vertically on the right or left of your screen. The fix for this problem would be to place the taskbar horizontally.

To install the new KB patch, Microsoft recommendsinstalling the KB5015684to make sure that you are up to date with Windows 10 22H2.
