Releasing Windows 11 Build 22621.1192 to the Release Preview Channel

Hello Windows Insiders, today we’re releasing Windows 11 Build 22621.1192 (KB5022360) to Insiders in the Release Preview Channel on Windows 11, version 22H2. This month we are making a change in Release Preview to reduce the number of reboots that customer experience when upgrading. Starting this month, when customers upgrade to Windows 11, version 22H2, they will get the January optional quality update (KB5022360) and the .NET update alongside the Feature Update. This means when you upgrade to Windows 11, version 22H2 you will get the feature update with the latest and greatest security fixes for both Windows and .NET– all with only a single reboot!

This update includes the following improvements:

• New! We changed the experience for preview .NET Framework updates. After you installed this update, all future preview (optional) .NET Framework updates will be displayed on the Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Optional updates page. On that page, you could control which optional updates you wanted to install.
• We fixed an issue that affected searchindexer.exe. It randomly stopped you from signing in or signing out.
• We fixed an issue that stopped you from searching for a file based on the file’s contents.
• We fixed a resource conflict issue between two or more threads (known as a deadlock). This deadlock affected COM+ applications.
• We fixed an issue that affected conhost.exe. It stopped responding.
• We fixed an issue that might have affected the Domain Name System (DNS) suffix search list. When you configured it, the parent domain might have been missing.
• We fixed an issue that might have occurred when the Input Method Editor (IME) was active. Applications might have stopped responding when you used the mouse and keyboard at the same time.
• We fixed an issue that might have affected FindWindow() or FindWindowEx(). They might have returned the wrong window handle.

• We fixed an issue that might have affected applications that used Microsoft Edge  WebView2 to display content. Applications that used WebView2 included Microsoft Office and the  Widgets app. The content might have appeared blank or greyed out.
• We fixed an issue that affected certain systems that had firmware Trusted Platform Modules. (TPM). This issue stopped you from using AutoPilot to set up those systems.

• We fixed an issue that affected the ReFS. The issue caused high nonpaged pool usage, which depleted system memory.
