Posted on by

Microsoft ha rilasciato puntualmente il Patch Tuesday del mese di luglio 2018

È stata naturalmente aggiornata l’ultima versione di Windows 10, l’April 2018 Update o la Versione 1803, che passa alla build numero 17134.165 attraverso il pacchetto KB4338819 (download manuale). Ecco le novità:

  • Improves the ability of the Universal CRT Ctype family of functions to correctly handle EOF as valid input.
  • Enables debugging of WebView content in UWP apps using the Microsoft Edge DevTools Preview app that’s available in the Microsoft Store.

The error message is “Windows failed to apply the MitigationOptions settings. MitigationOptions settings might have its own log file” or “ProcessGPOList: Extension MitigationOptions returned 0xea.” This issue occurs when Mitigation Options has been defined either manually or by Group Policy on a machine using Windows Defender Security Center or the PowerShell Set-ProcessMitigation cmdlet.

Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, 1709, riceve il pacchetto KB4338825 (download manuale), e arriva alla build numero 16299.547.

  • Addresses an issue that, in some cases, causes the wrong IME mode to be chosen on an IME-active element.
  • Addresses an issue with form submission in Internet Explorer.
  • Addresses an issue where DNS requests disregard proxy configurations in Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge.

Microsoft supporta ancora sia Windows 8.1 che Windows 7: chi è su Windows 7 SP1 o Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, riceve il KB4338818 (qui le novità), mentre chi utilizza Windows 8.1 o Windows Server 2012 R2 riceverà il KB4338815 che introduce queste novità.
