Windows 10 KB5058481 Update Restores Seconds Display in Calendar Flyout

Microsoft has released the KB5058481 preview cumulative update for Windows 10 22H2, which introduces several enhancements, including the restoration of seconds to the time display within the calendar flyout, a feature that was previously removed for some users.

As part of Microsoft’s regular schedule for optional non-security preview updates, this cumulative update enables Windows administrators to test forthcoming fixes and features slated for the June Patch Tuesday. This optional update, unlike the mandatory security updates provided during Patch Tuesday, does not contain security enhancements.

To install the KB5058481 update, users may navigate to Settings, select Windows Update, and manually perform a 'Check for Updates'. If the “Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available” option is not enabled, users will need to click the ‘Download and install’ link to proceed with the update.

Post-installation, Windows 10 22H2 will be updated to build 19045.5917. Users also have the option to manually download and install this update from the Microsoft Update Catalog.

New Features in Windows 10 KB5058481

The updates primarily focus on the calendar flyout, which is activated by clicking on the time and date in the taskbar. The most significant enhancement is the reinstatement of the seconds display, which serves as a valuable feature for various tasks.

The following modifications were introduced in the KB5058481 update:

– Calendar Flyout Enhancements
– Restoration of the clock view displaying seconds.
– Extension of the upcoming events period in the Rich Calendar feature to 30 days.
– Addition of description text for the Weather button within the Rich Calendar feature.

– GDI/GDI+ Fixes
– Resolution of rendering issues for certain GB18030-2022 characters.
– Addressing incorrect rendering width for some GB18030 characters.

– Mobile Operator Profiles
– Updated Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA) profiles.

– WinSaS Improvements
– Fix for issues affecting the Windows Account Sync Consent system, particularly in the European Economic Area, where secondary accounts were not recognized, increasing server load.

Currently, the known issue associated with this update involves the display of NOTO fonts, which may appear blurry or unclear when viewed at 96 DPI. Reports indicate that CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) text can be affected in Chromium-based browsers like Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. A suggested workaround involves adjusting display scaling to 125% or 150% to enhance text clarity.
