4 New 1903 Known Issues 9/13/2019

There’s been a LOT of action on the Windows 10 1903 Known Issues lately. Thus we see 4 new Known Issues 9/13/2019. They include Wi-Fi issues for some specific Intel and Broadcom adapters, additional start menu and Windows search gotchas, an Input Method Editor (usually related to special keyboard entry tools for ideographic languages like Mandarin Chinese) snag, and audio problems in some games. Two days earlier, numerous users also reported an oddity — namely, that Screenshots and Snips on some Lenovo PCs with the Vantage app installed take on a distinctly Halloween-ish burnt orange tint. Here’s that list (note that 3 of the 5 items are mitigated and one is already resolved; this table markup was copied almost verbatim from the Known Issues list on 9/16/2019):

What Does 4 New 1903 Known Issues 9/13/2019 Mean?

Microsoft is continuing to keep up with input and chatter from Windows 10 users about issues and problems. I’m seeing that the Known Issues list typically gets updated within 2-4 days of an issue hitting widely-visited user forums such as Microsoft Answers, TenForums, and the numerous Windows 10 news sites I follow. In the past month, in fact, MS has been doing the best job of keeping up with  — and hence also, acknowledging — problems and issues related to the Windows 10 OS. In the spirit of giving credit where silence has too long reigned and where the new transparency and openness is much-appreciate I say “Thanks!”
