Windows 10 users should install kb5039299 to fix significant bugs

Windows 10 users should be interested in the optional update that has been added to the system settings. The KB5039299 package will not be deployed automatically and requires manual initiation of the update check to access it. However, it is worth installing as it fixes known bugs.

As Microsoft reports, the KB5039299 update available for Windows 10 22H2 users fixes issues with several features, including the context menu on the taskbar. This refers to the right-click function, which should display additional options related to the specific application. Due to a bug, Windows 10 would instead display a new window asking how to open the file. The KB5039299 update eliminates this issue.

The described update also fixes several other bugs, including the unwarranted display of graphical artifacts in certain situations when using apps like Edge and issues with unsuccessfully waking the system from hibernation. This problem could occur with BitLocker enabled.

In the context of updating Windows 10, users should remember the upcoming end of support. Microsoft offers a free update to Windows 11, but not every machine meets the minimum requirements. Alternatively, users may consider purchasing new hardware that meets the requirements or moving to Windows in the cloud, which may be particularly attractive for business users.

In any case, it is essential to regularly back up data before performing updates. Other options are available for those who cannot or do not want to update the system to Windows 11. One is staying with Windows 10 and fully aware of the risks associated with the lack of security updates.
