Known issues

Symptom Workaround
When using the Microsoft Japanese Input Method Editor (IME) to enter Kanji characters in an app that automatically allows the input of Furigana characters, you might not get the correct Furigana characters. You might need to enter the Furigana characters manually.<br><br>NoteThe affected apps are using the ImmGetCompositionString() function. We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
Devices with Windows installations created from custom offline media or custom ISO image might have Microsoft Edge Legacy removed by this update, but not automatically replaced by the new Microsoft Edge. This issue is only encountered when custom offline media or ISO images are created by slipstreaming this update into the image without having first installed the standalone servicing stack update (SSU) released March 29, 2021 or later.<br><br>NoteDevices that connect directly to Windows Update to receive updates are not affected. This includes devices using Windows Update for Business. Any device connecting to Windows Update should always receive the latest versions of the SSU and latest cumulative update (LCU) without any extra steps. To avoid this issue, be sure to first slipstream the SSU released March 29, 2021 or later into the custom offline media or ISO image before slipstreaming the LCU. To do this with the combined SSU and LCU packages now used for Windows 10, version 20H2 and Windows 10, version 2004, you will need to extract the SSU from the combined package. Use the following steps to extract the using SSU:<br><ol type="1"><li style="margin-left: 0"><p>Extract the cab from the msu via this command line (using the package for KB5000842 as an example): <b>expand Windows10.0-KB5000842-x64.msu /f:Windows10.0-KB5000842-x64.cab <destination path></b></p></li><li style="margin-left: 0"><p>Extract the SSU from the previously extracted cab via this command line: <b>expand Windows10.0-KB5000842-x64.cab /f:* <destination path></b></p></li><li style="margin-left: 0"><p>You will then have the SSU cab, in this example named <b>SSU-19041.903-x64.cab</b>. Slipstream this file into your offline image first, then the LCU.</p></li></ol><br>If you have already encountered this issue by installing the OS using affected custom media, you can mitigate it by directly installing the new Microsoft Edge. If you need to broadly deploy the new Microsoft Edge for business, see Download and deploy Microsoft Edge for business.

    MR3MR3, try the repair-install Sumit suggested in here...

    WIN10 update failed 0x80073701

    It worked for YCZ2 in there. It worked for me to fix a different problem. Just be sure you see the screen that says it will keep personal files & apps, if indeed you want to keep them. Good luck, & keep us informed.

    First, thanks for the reply PCR: "Why can't you just ignore it & just type into the box? I looked & can't see how to turn it off (but wouldn't want to)."


    I'm glad you are happy with this "feature," but I'm not. So we're just to IGNORE anything MS decides to cram down our throat in an effort to steer us into using THEIR stuff?

    Since it's not imperative to the OS, it should be something WE decide to have or not! I have never used or know what snip & sketch is and don't use paint-- no idea why they show up to begin with. As I've said, I've searched for answers to this and cannot find anything.

    I notice you have more things listed i.e. Command Prompt, File Explorer Options, etc. Are they added automatically as you use these things? Are you able to delete them once there in your (what I consider to be a) "pop-up?"

    I know people have more urgent and pressing problems than this with the updates, but it just bothers me that I cannot decide on my own whether I want to use something that is useless and ANNOYING to me.

    I suppose I WILL JUST HAVE TO IGNORE IT 👎 until someone comes out with a workaround to get rid of it.

    Thanks again!!

    Microsoft policies are as clear as mud. I simply accept whatever is on windows update and reset the machine when things go wrong.
