The new Windows 10 update brings smoother media playback, tighter security and a surprising start menu tweak

The latest update for Windows 10, KB5044273, is now available and brings bug fixes, security fixes, and even a feature change. We’re now about a year away from the planned end date for Windows 10 (October 14, 2025), at which point Microsoft will no longer support it with regular updates.

Microsoft describes the new developments as improvements in the security of the internal operations of Windows 10. However, these are not the only changes. There’s also a small update to the position of your profile picture in the Start menu. Wow, Microsoft, you’re really pulling out all the stops here, aren’t you?

It’s possible that this is an attempt by Microsoft to integrate account management like Windows 11 into the Start menu. It had previously noted expanded Microsoft Account Management, which lets you manage Microsoft product purchases and subscriptions in the Start menu of another Windows 10 preview build. If accomplished in a similar way to Windows 11’s Microsoft account manager, it will remind users to use apps and products like OneDrive, Microsoft 365, and Copilot, which I think most Windows 10 users will find quite annoying.
