Microsoft has fixed performance issues impacting gamers running Windows 10 21H1 and 20H2 with the latest Windows 10 build released for Insiders in the Beta and Release Preview Channel.
With the release of the Windows 10 KB5000842 preview cumulative update at the end of March and the subsequent release of the KB5001330 update in April, Windows 10 users reported performance issues when playing games.
While Microsoft released an emergency fix for customers running Windows 10 2004 and 20H2 on April 24 some users are still reporting that the issues were not addressed on their devices.
The new KB5003690 update should fix the bugs on all affected systems running Windows 10 2004, 20H2, and 21H1. Since the fix was rolled out to affected users worldwide using Microsoft's Known Issue Rollback feature and was pushed via Windows Update within a 24 hours timeframe, the new rollout will probably follow the same deployment strategy.
We fixed an issue that, in certain cases, takes you out of the exclusive virtual reality app and back to Windows Mixed Reality Home when you press the Windows button on the controller.
We fixed an issue that might redirect you to the Microsoft Store page for Gaming Services when you try to install or start an Xbox Game Pass game on your Windows 10 device.
