Microsoft has addressed most of the issues in Windows 10 October 2018 Update but it appears that there is yet another bug bothering some customers. This time it is broken FLAC support in Windows 10.

According to complaints in the Microsoft forums, after installing the October 2018 Update users were finding that it could break FLAC support in Windows 10. The bug causes FLAC metadata to be cut short in File Explorer and other locations such as Groove Music or Windows Media Player.

The users will notice the bug if they upgrade from Windows 10 April 2018 Update. It looks like Microsoft is aware of the issue as the company has already addressed the bug in Windows 10 19H1 preview builds and the fix could be ported to the October 2018 Update soon.

"We fixed an issue resulting in FLAC metadata being cut short in File Explorer and other locations," Microsoft explains in the changelog of Build 18272.

A cumulative update with the fix for the reported issue could be shipped to Windows 10 October 2018 Update devices later this month. If you don't want to experience FLAC issues, do not check for updates and temporary delay the update from the Settings app.
