Windows 10 KB4541335 (Build 18363.752) Full Changelog
This optional Windows 10 cumulative update comes with a long list of improvements and fixes. For instance, Microsoft says it has addressed an issue where misleading error message for UWP apps would appear if they were converted from the Win32 platform.

For those who stream videos, Microsoft is making a change that should address performance issues in apps such as Netflix where content is protected by digital rights management (DRM).

File Explorer is also being updated with a fix for a bug causing the file manager to crash when using roaming profiles. Another issue where Start menu’s search box fails to return results on PCs that have no local profile has been fixed.

Recently, some users had reported that Your Phone mutes audio from working on certain devices. With today’s optional update, Microsoft has deployed a fix for a bug that prevents the mute button from working if Your Phone app is installed.

Future optional updates paused
Today, Microsoft confirmed that optional updates, referred to as C and D updates, won’t be released from May. This applies to all supported versions of Windows 10 client and non-security updates won’t be released due to the health issues across the globe.

Microsoft says Windows 10 Patch Tuesday updates will still happen as the company plans to prioritize security improvements during the pandemic.

Because of the pandemic, a lot of people are relying on Windows for daily tasks and this move should help the users.

Another user has reported about facing input lag in all games after installing this update. The issue seems gone after the update gets uninstalled.

After this update I have terrible input lag in all games, i7 4771, gtx 1660, 16 gb ram. I deleted this update and marked it as hidden in windows utility, so all is good now. I checked this twice, I don’t know why it’s so problematic for my pc.

Since this is an optional update one can skip it, but these fixes will be part of next Patch Tuesday update, so perhaps Microsoft needs to fix these issues.
