This optional update advances systems to OS Build 19045.6036 and addresses multiple quality improvements and bug fixes across various components of the Windows 10 operating system. The update is particularly notable for resolving several Start Menu issues that had been affecting users, including jump lists disappearing and the Start Menu failing to launch after previous updates.This preview update serves as an opportunity for users and administrators to test the fixes that will be included in the upcoming July 2025 Patch Tuesday cumulative updates. As Windows 10 approaches its end of support date on October 14, 2025, Microsoft continues to provide maintenance updates while encouraging users to consider upgrading to Windows 11.

General Purpose

The primary purpose of KB5061087 is to address multiple quality issues in Windows 10 version 22H2. It fixes several critical user interface problems, particularly with the Start Menu, where jump lists were disappearing and the menu itself would sometimes fail to launch after installing previous updates. The update also resolves an issue where Settings incorrectly displayed the Windows version as 2009 instead of 22H2.For enterprise environments, the update addresses Component Object Model (COM) functionality problems that were causing remote COM activations to fail with error 0x8001011. It also fixes device registration issues in the Entra ID Windows Account Manager plugin and resolves problems with Kiosk devices using ForceAutoLogon configuration that would result in blue screen errors.Additionally, the update improves system performance by fixing an issue affecting the complete removal of unused language packs and Feature on Demand packages, which was causing unnecessary storage use and increased Windows update installation times. For users with USB-connected multi-function printers, the update resolves scanning functionality that had been broken with dual protocol interfaces. The update also includes an upgrade to the curl tool to version 8.13.0 and fixes system responsiveness issues related to SMB shares and Oplock break requests.

General Sentiment

The general sentiment toward KB5061087 appears to be positive, particularly among users who have been experiencing the Start Menu issues that this update addresses. Windows Latest notes that Microsoft has finally acknowledged and fixed the Jump list feature in Windows 10 that was accidentally broken in a previous update, which had initially appeared to be an intentional downgrade of the Windows 10 experience.The update addresses a good number of quality-of-life improvements that should enhance the user experience, especially for those affected by the Start Menu issues or printer scanning functionality problems. Since this is an optional preview update, users who don't need these specific fixes can wait for the July Patch Tuesday update when these changes will be automatically applied.However, there is an underlying concern about Windows 10's approaching end of support in October 2025. Microsoft is clearly communicating this deadline within the update information, reminding users that they should consider moving to Windows 11. This creates a mixed sentiment where the fixes are welcome, but users may feel pressured to upgrade their operating system in the near future.

Known Issues

• There are reports of blurry or unclear CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) text when displayed at 96 DPI (100% scaling) in Chromium-based browsers such as Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. The issue stems from the March 2025 Preview Update which introduced Noto fonts in collaboration with Google for CJK languages as fallbacks to improve text rendering when websites or apps don't specify appropriate fonts. The blurriness is due to limited pixel density at 96 DPI, which can reduce the clarity and alignment of CJK characters. Increasing the display scaling improves clarity by enhancing text rendering. Microsoft has shared findings on this issue with Google for further discussion.* Users experiencing this issue can report problems related to Noto CJK fonts through the official Google Noto Fonts GitHub repository.
