-

 

Windows 10 KB5009596 has been released and it actually comes with a new feature that will help you migrate to Windows 11. Additionally, Windows 10’s optional update also comes with a bunch of general improvements and fixes, including a fix for an issue where all Bluetooth devices.

KB5009596 is an optional update and it is much safer than the preview builds offered as part of the Windows Insider Program. You should install the optional update if you’ve issues with your Windows 10 installation and you cannot wait until February’s mandatory Patch Tuesday rollout.

The main highlight of the latest optional update is support for a new feature called “Sync your Settings”. This backup feature lets you maintain a list of installed apps in your Microsoft account, so you can easily restore those apps after migrating to Windows 11 on the same or another device.

This feature is apparently part of the company’s efforts to ease up migration to Windows 11 and it will be rolled out to everyone in the coming weeks. Additionally, a bug has been fixed where Get-TPM PowerShell (command to check TPM information for Windows 11) will fail with an error message “0x80090011”.

Download Links for Windows 10 KB5009596

Windows 10 KB5009596 Direct Download Links: 64-bit and 32-bit (x86).

Like the rest of the updates, there are two ways to install today’s optional release – Windows Update and Microsoft Update Catalog. If the traditional Windows Update path is not working, you can always search the KB package on Microsoft Update Catalog in your browser and click on the “Download” to get the offline installer.

Windows 10 updates are offered for different architectures, so make sure that you download the correct version. Once you’ve identified the offline installer, just click on the “Download” button.

You’ll see a new popup window with a link to .msu. Your download won’t start if you directly click on the link in the Chrome browser. In order to download the offline installer using Chrome or a similar browser, copy the .msu link and open it in another tab of the browser.

This step is required because Microsoft Update Catalog still uses an insecure HTTP connection for download links which are now blocked in Chrome. In case you’re using Edge, a single tap should be enough to download the package.

Android 12 compatibility Android 12 will likely roll out to the majority of phones that came out in the last year or two, though some may be waiting a long time for it. It's guaranteed to hit every modern Pixel handset though, probably from the Pixel 3 onwards to the new  Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro , given that the Pixel 3 and 4a models support the beta. Speaking of the beta, we can look at the list of compatible phones for that to get some clues as to which might be first in line for the finished Android 12. They are as follows: Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro Pixel 3 to Pixel 5 (including XL and A-series phones) Oppo Find X3 Pro Nokia X20 OnePlus 9 / 9 Pro Xiaomi Mi 11 / 11 Ultra Xiaomi Mi 11i / 11X Pro ZTE Axon 30 Ultra (only Chinese models) TCL 20 Pro 5G Asus Zenfone 8 Realme GT Vivo iQOO 7 Legend Sharp Aquos Sense 5G Tecno Camon 17 We expect all of these would get the final Android 12 release, and likely quite quickly (with the Pixel phones getting it on day one).

  Since the release of the original Chromium-based Edge in 2020, Microsoft has been updating Windows 11’s default browser with new features almost every month. The browser has received support for a feature-rich PDF editor, password generator, vertical tabs, better control over tracking or notifications and more. In early 2021, Microsoft Edge added support for a feature called Web Capture which lets you easily take full page screenshots of websites. Microsoft began working on an improved version of Web Capture after receiving feedback from users who said the feature should be updated to work with PDF documents. Instead of developing another screenshot tool for PDFs, Microsoft decided to improve the existing implementation of Edge’s Web Capture. Starting with Edge Canary Version 99.0.1111.0, it is now possible to take full-page screenshots of PDF documents having several pages. In order to test out Web Capture for PDF, you’ll first need to download the Canary build of Microsoft Edge, an
