A list of Windows 11 updates can be found on this Microsoft web page. I have pulled out the details below. Microsoft now provides the following updates for the Windows 11 versions mentioned above.

Update KB5027231 for Windows 11 22H2

Cumulative Update KB5027231 raises the OS build for Windows 11 to 22621.1848 and includes quality improvements as well as security patches. This update also includes the new features mentioned in the preview update from the previous month (see Windows 11 22H2: Preview (Feature) Update KB5026446 (May 24, 2023)). In the support article, Microsoft states the following:

• This update addresses security issues for your Windows operating system.
• This update addresses a known issue that affects 32-bit apps that are large address aware and use the CopyFile API. You might have issues when you save, copy, or attach files. If you use some commercial or enterprise security software that uses extended file attributes, this issue will likely affect you. For Microsoft Office apps, this issue only affects the 32-bit versions. You might receive the error, "Document not saved."
• This update addresses a compatibility issue. The issue occurs because of unsupported use of the registry.
• This update addresses an issue that affects the Windows Kernel. This issue is related to CVE-2023-32019. To learn more, see KB5028407.

The long known copying problem with files has thus been provided with a fix. This update is automatically downloaded and installed by Windows Update, but is also available from the Microsoft Update Catalog and via WSUS and WUfB. The patch includes the Windows 11 Servicing Stack Update. The update causes various problems, which are listed in the support article.

Update KB5027223 foür Windows 11 21H2

Cumulative Update KB5027223 raises the OS build for Windows 11 to 22000.2057 and includes quality improvements and security patches, but no new operating system features. The fixes from the previous month's preview update have been incorporated (see Windows 11 21H2 Preview Update KB5026436 (May 23, 2023)). Microsoft lists the following fixes and improvements:

This update addresses a race condition in Windows Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS). The Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) might stop responding. This occurs when the system processes multiple local account operations at the same time. The access violation error code is 0xc0000005.

Microsoft notes that this update makes quality improvements to the servicing stack (which is responsible for Microsoft updates). This update is automatically downloaded and installed by Windows Update, but is also available from the Microsoft Update Catalog and via WSUS and WUfB.

• This update addresses an issue that affects servers that have Citrix and Ivanti as a Remote Desktop Services (RDS) server. Signing in to them takes a very long time.
• This update addresses a resource conflict issue between two or more threads (known as a deadlock). This deadlock affects COM+ applications.
