Update KB4041689 brings a series of bug fixes to Universal CRT that blocked executable files from running, patches memory corruption issues, and adds many security improvements to various Windows components.
KB4041689 changelog
Addressed issue where the Universal CRT _splitpath was not handling multibyte strings correctly, which caused apps to fail when accessing multibyte filenames.
Windows 10 version 1511 end of service As we already stated at the beginning of this article, KB4041689 is the last update that Microsoft released to Windows 10 version 1511. In other words, devices running this OS version will no longer receive monthly security and quality updates. If you continue using Windows 10 version 1511, your computer will no longer be protected against the latest security threats. Upgrading your PC to the latest OS version available is extremely important. In this manner, you can stay one step ahead of hackers and avoid malware and ransomware attacks. To continue receiving security and quality updates, we recommend upgrading to Windows 10 Creators Update as soon as possible.
