A list of Windows 11 updates can be found on this Microsoft website. I have extracted the details below. Microsoft is now providing the following updates for the Windows 11 versions mentioned above.
Update KB5034123 for Windows 11 23H2-22H2
Cumulative Update KB5034123 raises the OS build for Windows 11 to 226×1.3007 and includes quality improvements and security patches. Microsoft states the following highlights in the support article:
- New! The coming weeks will bring a richer weather experience to your lock screen. This includes dynamic, interactive weather updates. So, as you hover over the weather on your lock screen, you will see more information. When you tap or click on the weather card and sign in, Microsoft Edge opens with the full forecast in MSN weather. If you already use Weather in Settings > Personalization > lock screen > Lock screen status, there is nothing for you to do. Also, this new experience will be on by default if Lock screen status is set to "None." Like today, lock screen status will be available when you lock your screen no matter which personalization option you select (Windows spotlight, Picture, or Slideshow).
- This update addresses an issue that affects the spellchecker.
- This update addresses security issues for your Windows operating system.
The following fixes are also listed.
- This update addresses an issue that affects the ActiveX scroll bar. It does not work in IE mode.
- This update addresses an issue that causes your device to shut down after 60 seconds. This occurs when you use a smart card to authenticate on a remote system.
- This update addresses an issue that affects the display of a smart card icon. The icon does not appear when you sign in. This occurs when there are multiple certificates on the smart card.
- This update addresses a known issue that might affect some Wi-Fi adapters. They might not connect to some networks. This might occur after you install KB5032288 or KB5033375. This issue is more likely to occur if the Wi-Fi networks use 802.1x to authenticate. It is not likely that home networks will have this issue.
This update is automatically downloaded and installed by Windows Update, but is also available in the Microsoft Update Catalog and via WSUS and WUfB. The Windows 11 Servicing Stack Update is integrated in the patch. Problems caused by the update are listed in the support article.
After February 27, 2024, there will no longer be any optional, non-security-related pre-releases for Windows 11, version 22H2. Only cumulative monthly security updates will continue for supported editions of Windows 11, version 22H2.
Update KB5034121 for Windows 11 21H2
Cumulative Update KB5034121 raises the OS build for Windows 11 to 22000.2713 and includes quality improvements and security patches, but no new operating system functions. It should be noted that support for the Home and Pro editions expired in October 2023 and only the Enterprise versions will be supplied with patches. Details on the improvements and corrections can be found in the support article KB5034121.
Microsoft would like to point out 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 in the Microsoft Update Catalog and via WSUS and WUfB.
