Windows 10 1909 KB4532695 Update Fixes File Explorer Flaws

Present’s Windows 1909 cumulative update fixes some of the flaws that made File Explorer search unserviceable since the November 2019 Update was released, but there is still more room for betterment. With the release of Windows 10 1909, otherwise known as the November 2019 Update, Microsoft incorporated Windows Search into File Explorer. Today, Microsoft released the Windows 10 Cumulative Update KB4532695 and with it comes some, but not all, of the fixes for multiple issues users have been dealing with.

The most vital fix reported in a tests is that File Explorer no longer concisely freezes and the search field does not become unresponsive. Both of these issues previously made File Explorer and its search function irritating to use. This update also lets you right-click in the search field and paste text like you were able to do in former versions of Windows 10.


It is extraordinary that some of the bigger flaws have been fixed, but there is still room for betterment. For example, when search results show up in the Windows Search drop-down box, you still are not able to delete ones that are continual or undesired. This was a hoped-for addition that unfortunately did not make it into the build.

Another threat reported by a researches, but that does not happen in experts’ tests, is that you may require to click twice in the search field to move the carat. Eventually, it is also reported that the search field is just a ‘facade’ and you need to left-click on it for it to become active so you can right-click on it.
