Windows 11 KB5022303 (Build 22622.1105) important information

According to the tale, Windows 11 updates were duly installed, however the first restart resulted in a Blue Screen of Death problem. Another Blue Screen of Death came after a second reboot, and automated repair was unable to resolve the issue. The DISM rollback of pending actions failed. We were ultimately able to boot by disabling driver signature enforcement in the Recovery Environment boot options. Upon reaching the desktop, a message indicating that the system restore was successful was shown alongside one indicating that EarTrumpet could not be launched. When I restart my PC, the BSOD occurs repeatedly, a user reported.

In Windows 11 Build 22621.1105 an additional issue with the local session manager function has been fixed. Due to a weakness in the operating system, users without administrator privileges were able to perform activities limited to administrators only. If the December patch has not been applied, “storage warnings” for OneDrive are available in the Systems section of the Settings app. Alerts appear only when your OneDrive storage is almost full, and chances to modify your storage and purchase extra space are highlighted directly under the message.

Furthermore, the entire amount of space is shown on the Accounts tab of the Settings app. Furthermore, Microsoft fixed an issue that might cause File Explorer to become unresponsive and freeze.

Known issues in Build 22622.1105 for Windows 11

So far, Microsoft has discovered two issues with the update. One of the vulnerabilities is included in the Windows 11 provisioning packages. The release notes indicate that provisioning packages may not perform as expected; however, since the vast majority of residential customers do not use them, this is not a serious problem.

The most current version has a bug that prohibits it from accessing PPKG files, which are widely used in business and education. If Provisioning packages are used to install the operating system, Microsoft advises that the out-of-the-box experience may be compromised, and Windows may only be partially configured.

Microsoft states that consumer devices used in homes or small workplaces are unaffected. The second difficulty is the time required to send really huge files. This is particularly apparent when utilizing Server Message Block to duplicate data from a network share and happens when a user tries to transfer several gigabit (GB)-sized files (SMB). However, local file copies are badly impacted as well.

There is a remedy, but it requires technical expertise that most individuals do not possess. To remedy the issue, Microsoft suggests using copy tools that do not need a cache manager. Microsoft is currently working on a patch to address these issues.

  1. This security update also changed the “style” of File Explorer. I can no longer view the structure of a directory (e.g. Documents) unless I drill down from c:/ Users/ Owner/ , or create shortcuts on the desktop. Such “style improvements” out to be selectable and not mandatory with a strongly recommended security update. Fortunately, the uninstall worked.
