Known Issues on this patch update
With this patch update, you may encounter the following issues. Go through these issues and their fixes before you make up your mind to upgrade to this non-security update.
1] When you install the Windows Operating system using a custom offline media or custom ISO image, your device might be missing the Microsoft Edge Legacy version. This problem arises only when you have created the custom media by slipstreaming an update into the image without having first installed the standalone servicing stack update (SSU) released on March 29, 2021, or later.
Fix – Since the new Microsoft Edge is missing on your computer, you may install that by visiting its official site. In case you want to avoid this issue, install the latest Standalone package first on your device.
2] The Kerberos authentication might fail to work as usual after upgrading to this patch update. This problem first started occurring after you install Nov 8, 2022, or later updates and it continues to occur even with this cumulative update. Upon facing this issue, your device might fail to perform the below tasks –
-
- Problems in connecting to Remote Desktop connections using domain users.
- Printing that requires domain user authentication might fail.
- Trouble accessing the shared folders on workstations and file shares on servers.
Fix – The developers are looking at this problem and might provide a resolution in the near future.
3] Installing this update might cause your device to face problems in reconnecting to Direct Access. This happens only after temporarily losing network connectivity or transitioning between Wi-Fi networks or access points.
Fix – A simple restart might resolve this issue. If not, download and deploy the following Group Policy.
