Windows 10 build 10074 receives minor fixes through Windows Update KB3061161

Last week during Build 2015 Microsoft released build 10074 of Windows 10 for Insiders.

That build, as others in the past, had its own share of bugginess and so Microsoft has released KB3061161 through Windows Update in order to address some of those items.

According to the knowledge base article this patch update not only makes the fixes listed below but also provides some performance improvements.

Here is the list of fixes:

  • The Start menu and Cortana do not open on Windows 10 Insider Preview after upgrading from Windows 10 Technical Preview

  • Windows Error Reporting data remain in queue and are not uploaded

  • Updated versions of preinstalled apps might not install with error 0x8004264A after upgrading to Windows 10 Insider Preview

  • Qualcomm Atheros Bluetooth radio controllers might not function and indicate a Code 43 error in Device Manager

  • Automatic updates might not initiate on mobile devices if an app on the device is not in the Store catalog

  • Apps that are deployed to an SD card on mobile devices might not install or open

  • This update fixes a hang that can occur when updating battery status

One of the improvements to build 10074 this update adds is the Dolby Digital Plus codec plus the aforementioned performance enhancements.

To get this update just navigate to Settings>Update and security>Windows Update and check for new updates.

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

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.
