• A bit of clarity about the Win10 1709 pen bug

  Posted on April 13, 2018 at 11:50 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

  A Windows Ink engineer has confirmed that there’s a bug in the third Win10 1709 March Cumulative Update, KB 4089848, that breaks common pen movements in Photoshop, Lightroom and CS Paint. Looks like the same problem bedevils this month’s 1709 Cumulative Update, KB 4093112, as well.

  In yet another out-of-out-of-band flurry, on Thursday Microsoft released new cumulative updates for all Win10 versions, a couple of Servicing Stack updates, two previews of Monthly rollups… and absolutely nothing that fixes the flaws in this month’s botched Win7 patch.

  And the Windows Update bypassing routine blamed for the forced push from Win10 1703 to 1709? It’s baaaaaaaaaack.

  UPDATE: @PKCano found a patch for Win10 1709 that “This update makes improvements to ease the upgrade experience to Windows 10 Version 1709.”

  Go figger. KB 4094276. It’s listed on the KBNew page, but the link there (which was provided by Microsoft) doesn’t work.

  Just a heads-up. We’ll have more later.

  KB 4089848 brings 1709 up to Build 16299.334 – seems to have fixed the problem with the January Delta update

  KB 4088891 brings 1703 up to build 15063.994

  KB 4088889 brings 1607 up to build 14393.2155 – this one’s a bit surprising because 1607 is due to go off life support in a couple of weeks.

  Also, a Servicing Stack update for 1703, KB 4088825, and a Servicing Stack update for 1607, KB 4089510.

  Two previews of Monthly rollups, KB 4088882 for Win 8.1 and Server 2012 R2, and KB 4088883 for Server 2012.
