Windows 10 Preview Update KB5045594

Cumulative Preview Update KB5045594 is available for Windows 10 version 22H2 (all versions). The support article contains a list of fixes that Microsoft has specified for the update (these will be included in the security update for the following month).

  • [Start menu] New! This update starts the roll out of the new account manager on the Start menu. The new design makes it easy to view your account and access account settings. To change to a different user, select the ellipses (…) next to Sign out. The Lock command is now on the power menu. Note This change might not be available to all users because it will roll out gradually.
  • [ Multi-Function Printer (MFP) ]
    • Fixed: When you use a USB cable to connect to it, it prints specific network command text when you do want it to.
    • Fixed: A scanner driver fails to install when you use a USB cable to connect to an MFP.

The update also includes the following improvements:

  • [vmswitch] Fixed: A vmswitch triggers a stop error. This occurs when you use Load Balancing and Failover (LBFO) teaming with two virtual switches on a virtual machine (VM). In this case, one virtual switch uses single root Input/Output virtualization (SR-IOV).
  • [Upgrade to Windows 11] Fixed: A race condition causes stop error 0x3B. This might occur when you upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11.
  • [Product activation phone numbers] Fixed: This adds new phone numbers for several regions.
  • [Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA)] Fixed: This update brings profiles up to date for certain mobile operators.
  • [WebView2 apps] Fixed: They do not detect input from Xbox 360 and Bluetooth controllers.
  • [Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) (known issue)] Fixed: You might see a black screen when you sign in to AVD. You might also notice that you cannot sign out of your account. The black screen persists even after you disconnect and reconnect to AVD. The application event log displays Event ID:1000, which indicates a fault in svchost.exe_AppXSvc.

The update is optional and is offered via Windows Update if the user explicitly searches for updates in 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.
