Windows 10 patch KB5001391 also fixes issues with Live Tiles and high CPU consumption

While we wait for the Windows 10 update for the month of May, which will be called Windows 10 May 2021 Update, Microsoft continues with its path as far as updates are concerned, the most recent being Builds 19041.964 and 19042.964, two builds that, among other things, fix high CPU consumption

Intended for Windows 10 on the 20H2 branch and for Windows 10 2004, These builds make use of patch KB5001391 and along with bugs that they correct and that Microsoft details on the support page, apparently they are also correcting the high CPU consumption experienced on some computers.

CPU consumption now more reasonable

Some users complained about excessive CPU consumption after applying the latest cumulative updates, which affects the performance of the machine and that incidentally, harms the user experience.

In this sense, and according to Windows Latest, it seems that the Windows 10 update with patch KB5001391 has fixed the problem of excessive CPU consumption among other improvements , although the source of this issue still doesn't seem clear and in fact Microsoft does not list it as one of the fixes.

"

The issue reportedly causes an error which in turn causes a sharp increase in CPU usage and crashes. And this is not the only improvement that it introduces, as there are also corrections for the blank Tiles in the Start Menu."

Live Tiles are now visible

"

In this case, some users were seeing how in the Start Menu, some Live Tiles appeared with no content to display after updating with the KB5001391 patch on Windows 10 October 2021 Update. A bug originating from the removal of blue backgrounds for icons, a change that has affected files ms-resource:AppName and ms-resource:appDisplayName and that has caused failures in both proprietary and third-party applications."

"

If you have Windows 10 version 20H2 and 2004 installed on your computer, you can check if the update is available by going to the usual route. You must access Settings and Updates and then click on View optional updates. The other option is to wait for Patch Tuesday with the latest fixes that should arrive next week, on May 11."
