Windows 11’s latest update brings in some minor but nifty tweaks – and an important fix for a nasty bug

Estimated read time 3 min read


Microsoft’s latest update for Windows 11 has arrived, and the August patch fixes a pretty glaring BitLocker bug while adding some neat new twists for the interface on the desktop, including a nifty ability relating to the Start menu.

Cumulative update KB5041585 resolves the mentioned BitLocker bug which was actually introduced as part of July’s update last month. This glitch caused the BitLocker recovery page to appear for no reason after the user rebooted their PC, giving them something of a fright, no doubt, and requiring them to enter their recovery details.

While this problem mainly affected business users, BitLocker is a drive encryption tool that’s also provided with Windows 11 Pro, so some consumers may have been holding off installing the July update if they’re running that OS. Now, however, they can go ahead with the August update, given that the fix is in place. (Windows 11 Home users weren’t affected here, as it doesn’t have BitLocker).
