Preview-Update KB5022905 for Windows 11 21H2

Preview update KB5022905 is available for Windows 11 version 21H2, which raises the OS build to 22000.1641 and provides a number of fixes for these Windows versions. Here are what are called highlights below, changes and fixes:

  • New! This update adds an advanced auto-learning feature for facial recognition.
  • This update addresses an issue that affects the Color filters setting. When you select Inverted, the system sets it to Grayscale instead.
  • This update addresses an issue that affects IE mode. The text on the status bar is not always visible.
  • This update addresses an issue that stops hyperlinks from working in Microsoft Excel.
  • This update addresses an issue that affects a certain streaming app. The issue stops video playback after an advertisement plays in the app.

Microsoft states the following improvements and fixes that the update makes in the support article:

  • This update addresses an issue that affects the Appx State Repository. When you remove a user profile, the cleanup is incomplete. Because of this, its database grows as time passes. This growth might cause delays when users sign in to multi-user environments like FSLogix.
  • This update affects the United Mexican States. This update supports the government's daylight saving time change order for 2023.
  • This update addresses an issue that affects the Z-order of two maximized windows. A window that is behind another window might appear on top.
  • This update addresses an issue that affects AppV. It stops file names from having the correct letter case (uppercase or lowercase).
  • This update addresses an issue that affects Microsoft Edge. The issue removes conflicting policies for Microsoft Edge. This occurs when you set the MDMWinsOverGPFlag in a Microsoft Intune tenant and Intune detects a policy conflict.
  • This update addresses an issue that affects Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). Using a provisioning package for bulk provisioning fails.
  • This update addresses an issue that affects the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS). LSASS might stop responding. This occurs after you run Sysprep on a domain-joined machine.
  • This update addresses an issue that affects parity virtual disks. Using Server Manager to create them fails.

These new featrues and fixes will be integrated in the security update for the following month. The preview update is optional and is only offered when the user explicitly selects optional updates for installation in the settings page. The update can also be downloaded and installed from the Microsoft Update Catalog. The latest Servicing Stack Update (SSU) is included to fix various issues. Further details, e.g. about the installation requirements, can be found in the support article in case of doubt. The possibly known problems are also listed there.
