Windows 10 build 19044.1620 is out with an actual new feature

We’re at that halfway point between Patch Tuesdays, and that means it’s time for the ‘C’ and ‘D’ week updates for Windows 10 and 11. Today, Windows 10 is getting its optional update, and as usual, it’s available for versions 20H2, 21H1, and 21H2. Interestingly, this one actually comes with a new feature, a rarity in cumulative updates, especially with Windows 10 when all of the focus is on Windows 11.

The update, specifically, is KB5011543, and it brings the build number to 19042.1620, 19043.1620, or 19044.1620, depending on if you’re on Windows 10 version 20H2, 21H1, or 21H2, respectively. The new feature is called Search Highlights (previous announced for Insiders), and it’s yet another revamp of the search experience.

Here’s how Search Highlights will work. If you’re a regular consumer, it’s going to show you things like holidays, anniversaries, and other important things that can be either regional or global. For enterprise customers, you’re going to see highlights from your business Microsoft 365 account, based on Microsoft Search.

You can manually download the update here, and these are the rest of the highlights:

  • Updates an issue that prevents Android device users from signing in to some Microsoft applications, such as Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Teams.
  • Updates an issue that causes the Back button of the credentials window, where you sign in, to become invisible in high contrast black mode.

Here’s the full list of changes:

  • New! Introducing search highlightsSearch highlights will present notable and interesting moments of what’s special about each day—like holidays, anniversaries, and other educational moments in time both globally and in your region. To see more details at a glance, hover, click, or tap on the illustration in the search box.For enterprise customers, search highlights will also feature the latest updates from your organization and suggest people, files, and more.

    Search highlights will roll out to Windows 10 customers over the next several weeks. We are taking a phased and measured approach. Broad availability will occur in the coming months. For more information, see Group configuration: search highlights in Windows.

  • New! Provides the ability to change the color of toast buttons to identify success and critical scenarios more easily for apps that send notifications using Windows notifications in the OS. This feature also makes notifications more visually compact.

  • Addresses a known issue that might cause some devices to receive error messages on a blue screen when those devices are paired to Bluetooth devices. This issue occurs when certain configuration service provider (CSP) policies are in place that affect the Bluetooth A2dp profile.

As usual, this is an optional update. That means that you can opt into installing it through Windows Update, or you can ignore it. If you choose to ignore it though, all of these changes will roll out through the next Patch Tuesday update, and that will be mandatory. Microsoft says that Search Highlights will roll out in the coming weeks.
