Microsoft has finally released an update that fixes a bug that has been causing problems for Windows 10 users over the past few months. This is an issue with Internet connection status notifications that some users experienced after installing one of the cumulative updates for Windows 10.
As a reminder, earlier this year, some Windows 10 users reported problems connecting to the Internet. In some cases, a notification began to appear on the Windows 10 taskbar stating that there was no connection to the Network, even in cases where the connection was actually established. Initially, it was believed that the problem appeared after installing the Windows 10 May 2020 Update, but later the same error was found in some users of Windows 10 (1909) and earlier versions of the software platform.
Although the issue may seem minor—it only affects connection status notifications—it causes a number of applications to break. This is because some applications, such as the Microsoft Store or Spotify, use Windows APIs that depend on the network connection status indicator in the taskbar. When the indicator indicates that there is no connection, these applications also go offline and cannot provide the user with functions that require an Internet connection.
Now Microsoft has begun distributing a patch that fixes the mentioned problem. It is available as an optional update that can be downloaded through Windows Update. After installing it, the Windows 10 build number will change to 19041.546, and the problem with notifications about the lack of Internet connection will be resolved. In addition, this patch will be included as part of a cumulative update later in October as part of the Patch Tuesday program.
