On May 18, Microsoft unleashed the Windows 10 21H1 (May 2021 Update) to millions of compatible devices around the world, and along with the kick-off of the rollout , the software giant also published a list of known issues with the new version.
The list of known issues was published at the Windows 10 health dashboard website , and at the time of this writing, it only lists two problems that have been already mitigated. On affected computers, the company is placing a compatibility hold to block the update to safeguard the experience.
Known issues for Windows 10 21H1
Here’s a list of the known issues for Windows 10 21H1:
- News and interests button on the Windows taskbar might have blurry text.
- Apps might have issues accessing event logs on remote devices. (Resolved on June 6, 2021.)
- A high-pitched noise might be heard when using 5.1 audio with certain settings. (Mitigated on May 18, 2021.)
- Automatic input of Furigana might not work as expected. (Mitigated on May 18, 2021.)
While it is good to see that a rollout is off to a good start, this is expected since it is a small update that does not include significant changes, and Microsoft has been proactively fixing many issues during the past several months.
Also, the software giant is using a gradual rollout approach, and it’s only making the 21H1 update available for devices known to have a smooth upgrade experience.
Although the new feature update does not have big problems, as more devices install version 21H1 , Microsoft will probably continue to update the dashboard page with more problems and workarounds as necessary.
Update June 15, 2021: This article has been updated to reflect the new problems confirmed by Microsoft for version 21H1.
