Microsoft fixes Windows 10 PFD display issue with KB5004760 update

Microsoft released an out-of-band update for the Windows 10 versions 2004, 20H2 and 21H1, that addresses a PDF display issue in these versions of the Windows 10 operating system.

The issue is listed as one of the known issues of Windows 10 versions 2004, 20H2 and 21H1 on the release health dashboard on Microsoft’s website. It was opened on June 25, 2021 and resolved on June 29, 2021 according to the published information.

The issue affects the rendering of PDF documents in Internet Explorer 11 and in applications that use the 64-bit version of the WebBrowser control if the Adobe Acrobat plug-in is used.

KB5004760 fix pdf display issue

Microsoft describes the issue in the following way:

After installing KB5003637 or later updates, Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) or apps using the 64-bit version of the WebBrowser control might fail to open PDFs or may render as just a gray background using the Adobe Acrobat plug-in. Note Internet Explorer is only affected if Enable 64-bit Processes for Enhanced Protected Mode is enabled in the Advanced tab in Internet Options.

Microsoft published a workaround earlier, suggesting that users should open the PDF documents directly in the Adobe Acrobat application. The second suggested workaround was to disable the setting Enable 64-bit Processes for Enhanced Protected Mode in Internet Explorer 11; that option would resolve the issue only in IE11 and not in other applications.

The out-of-band update is not available via Windows Update at this point. Administrators may download it from the Microsoft Update Catalog website to install it manually on affected devices. The installation of the update resolves the issue and PDF documents should once again render correctly in Internet Explorer 11 and applications that use the 64-bit version of the WebBrowser.

For WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) deployment, it is necessary that the May 11, 2021 cumulative update is installed prior to installing this update according to Microsoft.

The update will likely be included in the July 2021 Patch Tuesday cumulative update, which will be out on July 12, 2021.

Now You: how do you view PDF documents on your systems?

Audacity 3.0.3 introduces error reporting and update checking functionality

Image
A new version of the open source audio editor Audacity has been released. Audacity 3.0.3 introduces support for automatic update checks and error reporting among other new features. Project ownership of Audacity changed in May 2021 when MuseGroup announced the acquisition of the open source editor. Details were not provided. Shortly thereafter, MuseGroup revealed plans to introduce Telemetry in Audacity , an offline audio editor. The company dropped its Telemetry plans in the same month after user criticism reached new highs. MuseGroup published an updated privacy notice in July 2021 , and it too blew up in the company’s face. An updated privacy policy was released in the same month and the company apologized for releasing the first privacy notice. Audacity 3.0.3 is the first version of the open source audio editor that supports the new error reporting and update checking functionality. The developers dropped plans to introduce Telemetry collecting and reporting in Audacity, but ...

Android’s Kiwi Browser will follow Chromium releases more closely soon

Image
Kiwi Browser is a third-party Chromium-based web browser for Google’s Android operating system that packs a lot of features. Probably the most noteworthy is the browser’s support for Chrome extensions; while not all extensions will install on Android, it is one of the few browsers that is based on Chromium that supports extensions on Android. Kiwi browser comes with an integrated ad-blocker and some other features, but it is extensions support that may appeal the most to users. The browser is developed by a single developer, and this meant in the past that releases were infrequent. Considering that hundreds of developers are working on major browsers for Android, Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi, Opera or Brave, it is clear that Kiwi development is at a disadvantage in this regard. With Chromium moving from a 6-week to a 4-week release cycle, things could get even worse in the future. The developer of Kiwi Browser has been working on Kiwi Next for some time now to address the issue and make...
