Windows 10 KB5011831 fixes black screen and other critical bugs

Windows 10 KB5011831 is now available and fixes an issue where the operating system could crash with a black screen. The patch is available through Windows Update (WU), which allows users to download the offline installer of Windows 10 KB5011831 to update multiple PCs without having to download the same package, which is also useful if WU fails for some reason.

KB5011831 is another update that will not install or even download unless you explicitly grant Windows Update permissions. Remember, the optional updates are safe and tested by the tech giant, and the changes will eventually be shipped to everyone as part of next month’s Patch Tuesday.

In other words, if you don't really need these fixes today, it might be a good idea to skip the optional updates. The same patch will be shipped to your device as part of the May 2022 Patch Tuesday. It's worth noting that the company won't be fixing bugs found in optional updates when it makes the same set of changes available to everyone on May 2022 Patch Tuesday.

If you check for updates today, you will see the following patches in the Optional Updates section:

Windows 10 KB5011831 (Build 19044.1682) Full change log

There are no new features in the Windows 10 cumulative update, but the company says it has made improvements to servicing the Secure Boot component of Windows.

In terms of fixes, more changes are enterprise-specific. For example, Microsoft has changed the timeout for Azure Active Directory registrations from 60 minutes to 90 minutes. This also solves an issue causing exceptions on timeout.

According to the release notes, Microsoft has addressed an issue where a remote desktop session might close or the operating system might try to reconnect if it stops responding while waiting for accessibility shortcut handlers.

This patch also resolves a strange bug that had caused boot delays of up to 40 minutes in this build. The same patch was previously released to users in the Release Preview channel of Windows 11's Insider program.

As the title points out, Microsoft has fixed a critical bug where the operating system displayed a black screen when logging in or out.

Additional bug fixes in Windows 10 Build 19044.1682:

Microsoft deploys Windows 10 for everyone 21H2

While Windows 11 is clearly the focus, Microsoft is still actively developing Windows 10 to address potential issues.

The company recently announced that Windows 10 version 21H2 is "ready for widespread deployment," meaning if you're reluctant to upgrade to Windows 11, you can now safely install the feature update.

The move isn't surprising, as the tech giant takes about six months to announce an update is ready for widespread deployment.

"As always, we recommend that you update your device to the latest version of Windows 10 as soon as possible," Microsoft noted.

Microsoft has previously said that the company will continue to support Windows 10 until October 2025. This means another feature update with limited improvements will be released in the fall.
