• We fixed an issue that causes the Input (TextInputHost.exe) app to stop working.
• We fixed an issue in searchindexer.exe that affects the search for shapes in Microsoft Visio.

• We fixed an issue that prevents Azure Desired State Configuration (DSC) scenarios that have multiple partial configurations from working as expected.
• We fixed an issue that affects remote procedure calls (RPC) to the Win32_User or Win32_Group WMI class. The domain member that runs the RPC contacts the primary domain controller (PDC). When multiple RPCs occur simultaneously on many domain members, this might overwhelm the PDC.
• We fixed an issue that occurs when adding a trusted user, group, or computer that has a one-way trust in place. The error message, “The object selected doesn’t match the type of destination source” appears.
• We fixed an issue that fails to display the Application Counters section in the performance reports of the Performance Monitor tool.

• We fixed an issue that occurs when you apply multiple WDAC policies. Doing that might prevent scripts from running when the policies allow scripts to run.

• We fixed an issue that causes Widgets to appear on the wrong monitor when you hover over the Widgets icon on the taskbar.
• We added animation to the Widgets icon when you click or tap the icon and the taskbar is aligned on the left.
• We fixed an issue that affects the rendering of the default Widgets icon on a taskbar that is aligned in the center.
• We fixed an issue that causes blurry app icons in Search results when the display’s dots per inch (dpi) scaling is greater than 100%.
