Windows 11 servicing stack update - 22621.1482​

This update makes quality improvements to the servicing stack, which is the component that installs Windows updates. Servicing stack updates (SSU) ensure that you have a robust and reliable servicing stack so that your devices can receive and install Microsoft updates.

Known issues in this update​

Applies toSymptomWorkaround
IT adminsUsing provisioning packages on Windows 11, version 22H2 (also called Windows 11 2022 Update) might not work as expected. Windows might only be partially configured, and the Out Of Box Experience might not finish or might restart unexpectedly. Provisioning packages are .PPKG files which are used to help configure new devices for use on business or school networks. Provisioning packages which are applied during initial setup are most likely to be impacted by this issue. For more information on provisioning packages, please see Provisioning packages for Windows.

Note Provisioning Windows devices using Windows Autopilot is not affected by this issue.

Windows devices used by consumers in their home or small offices are not likely to be affected by this issue.
If you can provision the Windows device before upgrading to Windows 11, version 22H2, this will prevent the issue.

We are presently investigating and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
IT adminsUpdates released February 14, 2023 or later might not be offered from some Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) servers to Windows 11, version 22H2. The updates will download to the WSUS server but might not propagate further to client devices. Affected WSUS servers are only those running Windows Server 2022 which have been upgraded from Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server 2019. This issue is caused by the accidental removal of required Unified Update Platform (UUP) MIME types during the upgrade to Windows Server 2022 from a previous version of Windows Server. This issue might affect security updates or feature updates for Windows 11, version 22H2. Microsoft Configuration Manager is not affected by this issue.To mitigate this issue, please see Adding file types for Unified Update Platform on premises.

We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
All usersAfter installing this or later updates, Windows devices with some third-party UI customization apps might not start up. These third-party apps might cause errors with explorer.exe that might repeat multiple times in a loop. The known affected third-party UI customization apps are ExplorerPatcher and StartAllBack. These types of apps often use unsupported methods to achieve their customization and as a result can have unintended results on your Windows device.ExplorerPatcher and StartAllBack have released a version that lists this issue as resolved.

Note If you are using any third-party UI customization app and encounter this or any other issues, you will need to contact customer support for the developer of the app you are using.
All usersAfter installing this update, some apps might have intermittent issues with speech recognition, expressive input, and handwriting when using Chinese or Japanese languages. Affected apps might sometimes fail to recognize certain words or might be unable to receive any input from speech recognition or affected input types. This issue is more likely to occur when apps are using offline speech recognition.

Note for app developers This issue only affects speech recognition using Speech Recognition Grammar Specification (SRGS) in Windows.Media.SpeechRecognition. Other implementations of speech recognition are not affected.
To mitigate this issue, you will need to do the following once every time you restart your device:
  1. Close the app which is having issues with speech recognition or other affected input types.
  2. Open Task Manager by selecting the Start button and type "task manager" and select it.
  3. Select the "Processes" tab on the left and then select the "Name" column so that the list of processes is sorted by their names.
  4. Find ctfrmon.exe and select it.
  5. Select the "End Task" button.
  6. Confirm a new instance of ctfmon.exe is started automatically.
  7. You should now be able to open the affected app and use speech recognition and other input types.
We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.

How to get this update​

Before installing this update

Microsoft combines the latest servicing stack update (SSU) for your operating system with the latest cumulative update (LCU). For general information about SSUs, see Servicing stack updates and Servicing Stack Updates (SSU): Frequently Asked Questions.

Install this update

Release ChannelAvailableNext Step
Windows Update or Microsoft UpdateYesGo to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. In the Optional updates available area, you’ll find the link to download and install the update.
Windows Update for BusinessNoNone. These changes will be included in the next security update to this channel.
Microsoft Update CatalogYesTo get the standalone package for this update, go to the Microsoft Update Catalog website.
Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)NoYou can import this update into WSUS manually. See the Microsoft Update Catalog for instructions.

If you want to remove the LCU

To remove the LCU after installing the combined SSU and LCU package, use the DISM/Remove-Package command line option with the LCU package name as the argument. You can find the package name by using this command: DISM /online /get-packages.

Running Windows Update Standalone Installer (wusa.exe) with the /uninstall switch on the combined package will not work because the combined package contains the SSU. You cannot remove the SSU from the system after installation.

Could you help me to repair this?, it has been like this for almost a week
So your battery levels are not graphically showing for the last 24 hours? Your battery driver may need to be updated so that Windows 11 can read the battery levels. A nice program for updating those drivers is IOBit Driver Booster.

Thanks for the reply. It is as I expected, though - an "inplace" upgrade will probably overwrite at least some of the various registry modifications I've made (it's not the installed apps I'm concerned with).

My best thought here is not only a restorable image beforehand - which is a practice I've used for about 30 years now - but a standalone copy of the registry beforehand so at least I can track any unwelcome overwrites with a comparison.

I think you are on the right track about covering yourself before doing the in-place upgrade.

I just did a quick search on backing up the Windows 11 registry. Here's a link that might be helpful.

Yeah, thanks. I've done standalone registry backups for yonks now - many programmes can do it of course.

An older one, but useful, is RegVac. This has a registry monitor that one can turn on/off to record changes. I'll use this during the "inplace" to keep track of unwelcome overwrites. With guaranteed restore images for both the registry and full recovery, that's about as bullet-proof as one may wish for.

Done this a few times in Win7, but not yet in Win11, so there's some interest.

Thanks for that exposition - quite helpful on how to use the UUPDUMP site.

I have one query on this process, though:

... an in-place upgrade where you can keep your files and settings in Windows 11 [your part-quote]

Does this in-place upgrade completely overwrite one's existing, modified Registry ?

I've upgraded with several monthly cumulatives so far without that happening. But I may have just been lucky in that my registry mods weren't on the upgrade replacement list, and in any case the monthly cumulative is not a full ISO upgrade.

As it stands, I make a reliable backup image for restoration if I fall foul of the upgrade. Naturally, I would prefer not to have recourse to this if I can avoid it.
From my experience. It doesn't completely overwrite everything.

Depends, Modern Standby would be enabled again when you disable it.

I've done an "upgrade" from a UUPDUMP download converted to an ISO as discussed above (Maverik). I went from 22H 22621.1485 to 22H 22624.1537 - so a reasonable jump to test the differences.

Comments:

1) overall, not difficult or messy. I did have full image and standalone registry backups on external disks for recovery. Generating the new ISO (from the UUPDUMP cmd file) and then running it as "Win11 install + Keep files & settings" took about 70 minutes

2) Were all the apps, settings etc conserved ? Yes for the most part, with a few very annoying exceptions. gpedit.msc was not saved and the MMC console was truncated - my guess is that MS prefers that Home users are not meant to play with those (?). The change that annoyed me the most (I'm not 20 years old anymore so my vision is just reasonable) was the loss of my carefully chosen desktop and menu/message fonts. MS just luurves tiny, ugly fonts, and this makes it frustrating. The method I finally chose to recover all these sets is to use Winaero and export the settings as an ini file so reloading them is simple

3) Did a comparison of the registry state from the 22621.1485 build to the 22624.1537 build. For those interested, the number of registry changes as recorded by Regshot was almost 250,000

4) As far as I can tell at this early stage, all the installed applications, AV's, firewalls etc were faithfully retained.

5) Was it worth it ? In truth, dunno yet ...
