[Corrine]

Microsoft released the monthly “C” release preview cumulative updates with non-security improvements and fixes for Windows 11.

 

Following are the highlights for KB5017383 (OS Build 22000.1042) for Windows 11:

• New! Adds more dynamic Widgets content to your taskbar with notification badging. When you open the Widgets board, a banner appears at the top of the board. It provides more information about what triggered the notification badge.
• Addresses an issue that requires you to reinstall an app if you did not get the app from the Microsoft Store. This issue occurs after you upgrade to a newer OS.
• Addresses a rare error that leads to a blue screen. This occurs after you change the display mode while you are using more than one display.
• Addresses an issue that forces the IE mode tabs in a session to reload.
• Addresses an issue that affects IE mode after you open a PDF file. When you try to open a different page using the same browser window, the page will not open in that browser window.
• Addresses an issue that might cause a black screen to appear on your display. This might occur when you use a pen to turn on high dynamic range (HDR).
• Addresses an issue that affects the touch keyboard. The touch keyboard immediately closes when you tap to switch apps.
• Addresses a known issue that affects daylight saving time in Chile. This issue might affect the time and dates used for meetings, apps, tasks, services, transactions, and more.
