[German]Microsoft has released an optional cumulative (preview) update KB5040525 for Windows 10 22H2 on July 23, 2024 (D-Week). This is intended to fix numerous bugs (including the WDAC problems or problems with printer redirects) in Windows 10 22H2. Below is an overview of these updates for Windows 10.
The information on the updates can be found on the Windows 10 update history page. Please note that these updates are so-called preview updates. These are optional and must be initiated manually for download and installation by default.
Windows 10 Preview Update KB5040525
Cumulative Preview Update KB5040525 is available for Windows 10 version 22H2 (all versions). The support article KB5040525 contains a long list of fixes that Microsoft has specified for the update (these will be included in the security update for the following month).
- [FrameShutdownDelay] The browser ignores its value in the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" registry key.
- [Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3)] In the Group Policy editor, HTML preview rendering fails.
- [Group Policy Preferences Item Level Targeting (ILT) and Local Users and Groups] You cannot choose a group from the target domain for ILT. Also, you cannot choose an account from Local Users and Groups. The forest does not appear. This issue occurs when you deploy multiple forests, and the target domain has a one-way trust with the domain of the admin. This issue affects Enhanced Security Admin Environment (ESAE), Hardened Forests (HF), or Privileged Access Management (PAM) deployments.
- [Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)] The TCP send code often causes a system to stop responding during routine tasks, such as file transfers. This issue leads to an extended send loop.
- [Print Support App] When you use the app with a USB device, the app stops responding and does not print. This issue also limits the functions of the user interface.
- [Universal Print clients] They fail to communicate with the Universal Print service. This affects printing functions. This issue occurs when you turn on Web Proxy Auto Discovery (WPAD).
- [Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC)]
- This update prevents a stop error that occurs when you apply more than 32 policies.
- A memory leak occurs that might exhaust system memory as time goes by. This issue occurs when you provision a device.
- When you apply WDAC Application ID policies, some apps might fail.
- [Windows Kernel Vulnerable Driver Blocklist file (DriverSiPolicy.p7b)] This update adds to the list of drivers that are at risk for Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attacks.
- [Windows Backup] Backup sometimes fails. This occurs when a device has an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) system partition (ESP).
- [DHCP Option 235 (known issue)] Some Windows devices use this option to find Microsoft Connected Cache (MCC) nodes in their network. But you might not be able to use these nodes when you find them. Instead, these devices download updates and apps from the public internet. Because of this, download traffic increases.
The update is optional and is offered via Windows Update if the user explicitly searches for updates on the Settings page and then selects the optional update for download and installation. The update can also be downloaded and installed from the Microsoft Update Catalog. The latest Servicing Stack Update (SSU) is integrated. Microsoft lists known problems with this update in the support article. Details can be found in the relevant support article.
