Windows 11 24H2 KB5044384 update fixes sfc /scannow corrupt file errors

Gradual rollout

These might not be available to all users because they will roll out gradually.?????

[Notifications] New! You can now stop the suggestions to turn off notifications from certain apps. Select the ellipses (…) in the notification and turn it off. You can also go to Settings > System > Notifications and turn it off from there. Look for “Notification Suggestions” in the senders list. An entry will only appear in the list after you receive a notification.

[Wi-Fi password dialog] New! The dialog now has the Windows 11 visual design. Go to Settings > Network & internet.

[Narrator]

New! This update adds a new Narrator shortcut. Press the Narrator key + Ctrl + X to copy what Narrator last spoke to the clipboard. This shortcut is useful when you want to quickly copy some content, like codes or numbers for use.

New! It will now auto read the contents of an email message in the new Outlook. This is like the behavior in Outlook classic.

[Gamepad keyboard] New! This update starts the roll out of a new Gamepad keyboard layout for the on-screen keyboard. With it, you can use your Xbox controller to move around the screen and type. Button accelerators are also available; these include the X button for backspace and the Y button for the spacebar. For better movement patterns, the keyboard keys are aligned vertically.

[Start menu] New! “All apps” has the new name, “All.”

[ALT + Tab] Fixed: The screen goes black on some PCs for a few seconds when you switch between certain windows.

[Scanning apps] Fixed: They don't detect certain scanners although they are connected.

Normal rollout

[Web sign-in] Fixed: You cannot sign in to your account from the web because the screen stops responding.

[Copilot key settings] New! You can configure the Copilot key on the keyboard. On new devices, the key opens the Copilot app. If you sign in to your account using a Microsoft Entra ID, the key opens the M365 app. You can make the key open a different app or open Search. To do this, go to Settings > Personalization > Text input. To make the key open a different app, the app must be in a signed MSIX package. This ensures that the app meets security and privacy standards to keep you safe. If your PC’s keyboard does not have a Copilot key, changing this setting will do nothing.

[WindowsDisk Cleanup app] Fixed: This update addresses some of the causes for the wrong free space estimates and improves its accuracy.

[sfc /scannow command] Fixed: You get errors every time you run the command.
