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

Thx to ahmz for updating A-Patch and pointing the new build for us.

Wonder if it fixes the bizarre bug in Messenger where it sometimes uses a contacts MSN nickname and sometimes their full name. Also other random ones like how sometimes the PM didn't update and the like.

I believe the nickname/full name thing is dependent on which version of WLM your contacts are using.

People who uses WLM 15 or have configured their stuff on Windows Live would show their full names, whereas those who don't ends up displaying their nickname.

It’s a QFE (Quick Fix Engineering) update, that is to say, this build is for bug fixes and not UI changes.

This release updates all Essentials 2011 apps from Build 15.4.3502.0922 to Build 15.4.3508.1109 except Windows Live Mesh and Windows Live Family Safety.

Though the web installer and offline installer version shows 15.4.3502.0922 but when you run this, it’ll prompt you for the upgrade to new build.

One of the bug this QFE fixes is in Live Writer. It fixes the AltGr shortcut issue for European Keyboards in Windows Live Writer.
