Blurry Widget In Windows 10 Can Be Fixed With Optional Update

With an optional update for Windows 10 Version 1909, Microsoft has addressed a bug that prevented an external monitor from being used. Another annoying bug caused the news widget to be blurry.

There were also a number of other problems that are now fixed with the new preview update for Windows 10 Version 1909. The new optional update is now available for users of Windows 10 version 1909 if they use a corporate or EDU license. For everyone else, for example, the regular Windows 10 Home Edition, Microsoft has already discontinued support, so there are no more bug fixes. Nevertheless, the publication of the preview for version 1909 is a very good sign: For all Windows 10 users who are affected by the problem with the blurry news widget, there is hope that Microsoft will soon provide a fix for everyone Releases versions.

The update is managed under the KB 5003698 and brings the build 18363.1645. The Windows team is testing various bug fixes with this update. In addition to the bugs already mentioned, Microsoft also addressed an error that could under certain circumstances lead to screen reader apps simply no longer working. We have translated the list of highlights of the bug fixes and changes for you with Deepl.com:
