Thanks to a tip from our friends at Wikikou.fr, we learn tonight that there’s been a QFE (Quick Fix Engineering – meaning a bug fix update, not UI changes) for almost all of Windows Live Essentials, updating most of the programs (only Windows Live Mesh and Windows Live Family Safety aren’t updated) from version 15.4.3502.0922 to 15.4.3508.1109.
In order to update, you just need to rerun Windows Live Essentials from explore.live.com, and reboot. Wikikou.fr noted a few changes:
- Windows Live Writer 2011: inability to use the "Alt Gr" key combination to perform some special characters in a French keyboard (like the characters # {~ etc.})
- Windows Live Mail 2011: addition of the character # at the end of each sending of mails if Internet Explorer 9 is installed
- Due to Internet Explorer 9 BETA bug fixes

We’re just installing it here, and our hard drive is churning as it re-indexes, apparently, but let us know if you notice any changes/bug fixes.
