[Windows Kernel Vulnerable Driver Blocklist (DriverSiPolicy.p7b)] Fixed: This update expands the list of drivers susceptible to Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attacks.

To switch to another user, click the ellipsis (...) next to Sign out. The Lock command is now available in the power menu.

[Multifunctional Printer (MFP)]

Fixed: When connecting to an MFP via USB connection, a scanner driver fails to install.
[vmswitch] Fixed: A vmswitch causes a stop error. This occurs when you utilize Load Balancing and Failover (LBFO) in conjunction with two virtual switches on a virtual machine (VM). In this scenario, one virtual switch employs single root input/output virtualization (SR-IOV).
[Upgrade to Windows 11.] Fixed: The stop error 0x3B is caused by a race situation. This may occur when you update from Windows 10 to Windows 11.
[Product activation phone number] Fixed: This includes new phone numbers for numerous regions.
[Country and Operator Setting Asset (COSA)] Fixed: This version updates the profiles for specific mobile providers.
[WebView 2 applications] Fixed: They no longer detect input from Xbox 360 and Bluetooth controllers.
[Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) (Known Issue)] Fixed: When you sign into AVD, you may encounter a black screen. You might also discover that you can't log out of your account. The dark screen stays even after disconnecting and reconnecting to AVD. The application event log shows Event ID:1000, indicating a problem with svchost.exe_AppXSvc.
Microsoft states that they are unaware of any known concerns with this release.
