Updates an issue that displays a blank lock screen after a device wakes up from Hibernate.

@Partizan , I wonder if this will fix our monitor/resolution/wakeup issues. I just realized I haven't noticed it doing it lately!

This might fix the intermittent issue where CoD:MW starts and then immediately minimises. Only happens in full screen mode.

I got this as optional update today, personally I didn't have these issues but I thought it's worth posting.

micropage7 · Feb 4, 2021

nice, i may check the update setting then

trickson · Feb 4, 2021

Thank GOD!
This also fixed an "Issue" With my system TV and AVR . For some reason after watching a movie , Playing a game, surfing the net or just using the system it would lock up randomly give a total BLACK screen with a signal loss window popup on the TV.
This has been going on since the last windows update.
So I built a new system and it was doing it on this one as well till the update yesterday now it's fine not an issue one!
About time WINDOWS you suck!
But on the bright side I got a NEW Ryzen 7 3700X! LOL.

FireFox · Feb 4, 2021

Installed it yesterday after @Drone posted it in Download Windows 10 ESD thread

Hi,
Fix 10 issues cause 10 more issues.

trickson · Feb 4, 2021

Get the update it is always recommended anyway.

ThrashZone · Feb 4, 2021

Hi,
I don't believe anything in win-10 updates wise is optional
You check for updates and boom 10 finds and installs.

Hmm got a strange bug today playing Division 2 - where 8 out of 16 cores where limited to 566MHz a fresh restart seems to fix it - unfortunately i didnt remember to take a screen shot of the strange behavior. But It seems that I already have this update installed - so???

Installed and tested. Unfortunately it didn't resolve my issue.

Before the new SSD and 20H2 installation, I had the issue where Halo MCC sporadically terminates when at the first loading screen. (with the green background, which I think also has the 343 logo)

I dunno if this possibly fixes that issue...

For me, it got closed unexpectedly, not just minimized.

another issue you forgot to mention is this one, fixed by the KB4598291 or higher update:

- Addresses an issue that incorrectly logs Extensible Storage Engine Technology (ESENT) event 642 in the Application Event Log.

(listed in the Improvements & Fixes section for Windows 10, version 2004)

been getting a lot of ESENT ID 642 errors in the Application Event Log on a few of my v2004 & v20H2 based PCs but this update finally stops those errors from showing up
