Windows 10 update remedies failed flyouts

Our Ring Master, Gabe Aul, has spoken and announced an update to Windows 10 but it is not a new build - just a patch for an issue relating to the Windows 10 Taskbar.

The fix, which is available in Windows Update, solves a problem on Windows 10 build 10130 that caused some Taskbar related flyouts to not open as expected.

I myself have seen this error on one of my Windows 10 test devices on a regular basis so it is great to have a fix. However, after the reboot guess what happened?

The Action Center flyout refused to open - so time for another reboot and see what happens then.

There is not much else in the related knowledge base article, KB3070365, but it does list that this bug impacts Start, Cortana, Network, Battery and Action Center.

Let us know if you were seeing this bug and if the fix sorted things out.

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
