Things are slow at the palace, a cliché that holds true for Microsoft and Windows 10 when it comes to bug fixes. In October 2023, just as Copilot was launched for users of this operating system, the Redmond giant discovered a rather annoying bug that icons to jump between monitors when using multi-monitor configurations.

Ideally, Microsoft would have released a patch to fix this issue as soon as possible, but the company decided to do so instead. block Copilot from starting on affected computers and also prevented them from updating to Windows 11 until a more coherent solution was found, which took more than 9 months to achieve.

Microsoft has confirmed that it has finally managed to resolve this issue with update KB5039299, a patch that does not introduce security-level improvements. Once we have this update installed, we will get rid of the icon skipping bug and we will also be able to enjoy Copilot.

Of course, upgrading to Windows 11 will no longer be blocked, even though Microsoft has warned about this deployment is gradualso not all users may receive this update at the same time.

This patch also introduces a new feature that makes this possible pin Copilot to the dashboard as if it were a normal and common application. This feature will also be available gradually, which means that Microsoft wants to slow it down so that it is able to react in time if there is any new bug that could affect the user experience.

There are still several unsolved bugs in Windows 10

And although they are not serious, the truth is that they can be quite annoying. For example, one of the most famous mistakes prevents you from changing your profile picture locally via “Settings”. Another known problem is related to attached cachewhich works as a software caching solution that the Redmond giant describes as facilitating the delivery of “Microsoft content” over business or educational networks.

Just yesterday we also saw that Windows 11 has a pretty serious problem may render the main panel unusable. I’ve said this more than once, and all of this just reinforces my point, Microsoft has an important backlog with the quality and status of the updates it releases on Windows, and it still can’t get it right.
