Here is a very quick post onKB4471332, anupdatethat hit the streets this December. This is aPatch Tuesdayupdatethat Microsoft released to fix a few of the ongoing issues from the October 1809 Update still causing problems.

KB4471332 improvements and fixes

To be honest, thisupdateis not very exciting. Microsoft has finally got round to fixing a problem with the Seek Bar when playing certain types ofmedia files. As it didn’t affect normal playback, I suspect that most people weren’t even aware that this was a problem.

In fact, this was a problem caused in theWindows 10version 1803update, so while it is nice to have this one fixed, presumably some people have been waiting about 8 months for this. Not exactly speedy service.

What known issues are there?

The surprisingly good news on thisupdateis that for the first time in awhile, there are no known issues with thisupdate.

Any other updates?

Microsoft released KB4471332 on a Tuesday, so we also have some security issues fixed. No idea what the issues were to be honest, but if you have any of the following, they are now more secure than on Monday.

As always, the best way to installupdatesis by going toSettings > Update and Security >Windows Update> Check forupdates. If you want to go down the stand-alone package route, you can go to theMicrosoft Update Catalogwebsite.

There aren’t many extra details you need to know, but if you want to check out exactly what Microsoft said, feel free to go to theMicrosoft Supportpage.
