Unlike the updates released via Patch Tuesday, this preview update is optional and only contains bug fixes, performance enhancements, and improvements.

It’s important to know that KB5005101 does not contain any security updates whatsoever.

The tech giant decided that it really needs to roll out these two fixes for issues Windows 10 users have been experiencing with Bluetooth and USB headphones.

Addresses an issue that prevents USB audio headsets from working on devices that support USB audio offload. This issue occurs if you installed third-party audio drivers on the devices. Addresses a rare condition that prevents Bluetooth headsets from connecting using the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) for music playback and causes the headsets to only work for voice calls.

Although these problems do not appear to affect that many users, Redmond officials decided that it’s time to make things right and right some OS wrongs.
