windows 11 build

We’ve had quite a few software releases from Microsoft these days, and we’re about to elaborate on the latest one yet.

Microsoft has just released Build 22000.829 for all of the Windows 11 Insiders that conduct their testing on the Release Preview Channel.

Don’t forget to also check out Windows 11 Build 25158, Windows Server Build 25158, and KB5015807 for Windows 10.

This new build brings, as might have already expected, several bug fixes as well as some new features like for eligible devices to update to a newer Windows 11 version during the out-of-box experience (OOBE) after the first sign-in.

What’s new after installing Build 22000.829?

Let’s start by saying that you will gain the ability for you to consent to receive urgent notifications when Focus Assist is on, after installing the software.

We should also mention the option for eligible devices to update to a newer Windows 11 version during the out-of-box experience (OOBE) when you first sign in.

This means that, if you choose to update to a newer version, the update process will begin shortly after the update is installed on the device.

Furthermore, the tech giant has restored functionality for Windows Autopilot deployment scenarios that are affected by the security mitigation for hardware reuse.

Keep in mind that this update removed the one-time use restriction for self-deploying mode (SDM) and pre-provisioning (PP).

The above-mentioned build also re-enabled any User Principal Name (UPN) display in user-driven mode (UDM) deployments for approved manufacturers.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue in UIAutomation() that causes an application to stop working.
  • Fixed an issue that prevents the Startup Task API from working as expected for certain apps.
  • Improved the reliability of a push-button reset after an OS upgrade.
  • Fixed an issue that makes the tenant restrictions event logging channel inaccessible if you remove the EN-US language pack.
  • Fixed an issue that causes certificate-based machine account authentication to fail in some circumstances after you install the May 10, 2022 security updates on domain controllers.
  • Fixed an issue that affects the Arm64EC code you build using the Windows 11 software development kit (SDK).
  • Updated the Remove-Item cmdlet to properly interact with Microsoft OneDrive folders.
  • Fixed an issue that prevents troubleshooters from opening.
  • Fixed an issue that causes port mapping conflicts for containers.
  • Fixed an issue that causes Code Integrity to continue trusting a file after the file has been modified.
  • Fixed an issue that might cause Windows to stop working when you enable Windows Defender Application Control with the Intelligent Security Graph feature turned on.
  • Deployed search highlights to devices. To access the policy for search highlights (on a device that has installed the June 2022 Cumulative Update Preview or July 2022 monthly quality update), go to C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions and locate admx. For your convenience, we will be publishing an updated version of the Administrative Templates (.admx) for Windows 11, version 21H2 to the Microsoft Download Center soon.
  • Fixed an issue that causes exe to stop working when you use the play and pause keyboard buttons on certain devices.
  • Fixed an issue that causes exe to stop working when you use the Start menu’s context menu (Win + X) and an external monitor is connected to your device.
  • Fixed an issue that displays a blank window that you cannot close when you hover over the search icon on the taskbar.
  • Reduced the overhead of resource contention in high input/output operations per second (IOPS) scenarios that have many threads contending on a single file.
  • Fixed an issue that causes the Windows profile service to fail sporadically. The failure might occur when signing in. The error message is, “gpsvc service failed to sign in. Access denied”.

Known issues

  • On some devices, Widgets may crash in the background upon logging in and show the static default icon instead of populating and updating to show the weather.

Remember to also check the latest changes that Microsoft made for the Media Player app, in case you still use the software.
