  • This update addresses a rare issue that might cause an input destination to be null. This issue might occur when you attempt to convert a physical point to a logical point during hit testing. Because of this, the computer raises a stop error.
  • This update addresses an issue that affects the Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) certificate. The system reports some SCEP certificate installations as failed. Instead, the system should report them as pending.
  • This update addresses an issue that affects the new Windows Runtime (WinRT) API. This issue stops an application from querying for location information using MBIM2.0+.

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.

After reading the posts herein and all the other information posted on this forum and the official MS releases, these cumulative update "previews" seem innocuous. However, is there a consensus of experienced users within this forum regarding the overall benefits of installing these updates versus the potential downsides?

As I understand it based on the information on this page in the link below under the heading 'Optional non-security preview release' about how these releases are going to be a permanent event on the last Tuesday of each month.

I don't have a problem with this as these updates do not have to be installed. Perhaps though MS could reword how the information regarding these preview updates shows up inside Windows Updates so it is a bit clearer what this is about.

MS keeps on changing update policies every few months, leaves up to our imagination what may happen next.
What I would like to see is some form of modular packages of features that are truthfully optional and have own updates separate from security and system updates.

    Still assembled, still runs. Haven't turned it on for 13 years?
My Settings app became really slow after this update, how can I fix it? I don't want to reinstall Windows because of that.

I tried to:

- repair it
- reset it
- crate a new user account and see if the problem persists there (it does)
- SFC
- DISM

Nothing helped, I am considering doing a complete reinstall or waiting for a future update to fix it. It's not unusable, just really slow and annoying.

Does anyone know a way how the Settings app can be uninstalled and then reinstalled?

Ok, the plot thickens, did the ole reboot the PC and the weather icon is back but doesn't display the weather. Checked widgets and it doesn't appear the weather widget is installed now. Tried to add it and get the error unable to pin weather widget at this time, try again later.

Ok, the plot thickens, did the ole reboot the PC and the weather icon is back but doesn't display the weather. Checked widgets and it doesn't appear the weather widget is installed now. Tried to add it and get the error unable to pin weather widget at this time, try again later.
Well, I guess disregard this as it seems to have fixed itself after sitting for a while. The weather widget repinned itself on its own and now displays the weather on the taskbar again. Gotta love it when windows bugs fix themselves lol.

If you're having trouble with a Windows 11 component, you have a some options:

1. You could try a "Reset" to reinstall the missing or corrupted component:
Goto Settings > System > Recovery > Reset this PC

2. You could download a script from UUPDUMP.NET to download and create a Windows 11 ISO and use that ISO for an in-place upgrade. If you choose to do that, goto uupdump.net > Windows 11 > 22H2 and click on the "Windows 11, version 22H2 (22621.1485) amd64" option. Give it your Language, tell it the versions of Windows you want (e.g. Home, Pro, etc.) and download the script. Unpack the .zip, and run the "uup_download_windows.cmd" script by double clicking on it. The script will download all the Windows 11 components and assemble them into a Windows 11 22621.1485 ISO. It can take awhile (i.e. 30+ minutes), but you'll have a current-revision ISO. All the components are downloaded from MSFT servers.

To do the in-place upgrade, double-click the ISO and run the Windows setup program. You don't have to do a clean-install. Just an in-place upgrade where you can keep your files and settings in Windows 11.

Keep in mind, that you do everything at your own risk, but these are a couple of possibilities.

I don't have a problem with this as these updates do not have to be installed. Perhaps though MS could reword how the information regarding these preview updates shows up inside Windows Updates so it is a bit clearer what this is about.
I am going to pass on the preview KBs unless I am having an issue that is listed within the quality improvements. One preview element that seems most important is:

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.

Arghhhhhhh -it has introduced the irritating start menu bug in Canary/Dev whereby the first time you press start menu, you cannot select any icons. It is ok after second start. Uninstalling this update.
Hi,
Any way around this? tried reinstalling from scratch, uninstalling the update doesn`t work because it doesn`t go back far enough(I don`t remember what build was the last that worked ok, I think it was something .139x), tried installing the insider beta 22621.1537(inplace update) that didn`t fix it either. I use the network button on the taskbar to turn on and off wi-fi and bt and it`s really annoyng to wait for it to load.

Thanks in advance.

The workaround for this is to not be running Windows 11 from the Canary/Dev channel. Do you know why they call it the Canary channel? It's because that channel is like being a "Canary in a coal mine". To quote MS: "The Canary Channel will offer very early (and unstable) looks at potential upcoming Windows 11 features."

When I was working at MSFT, long ago, we had another saying: "Beta means broken..."

Thanks for the reply, I know that...I don`t, never did run a beta build for more than testing, I just tried it to see if somehow fixes the issue, but went back to 22621.1485... well, that kinda sucks

I run Explorer Patcher, and Open-Shell-Menu, so that I can get the Windows 10 look with Windows 11. The drawback is that sometimes, Open-Shell-Menu will clobber the start menu after I run the update. So I have to uninstall Open-Shell-Menu before the update, and then reinstall Open-Shell-Menu after the update. If there's a permanent problem with the interface, I usually end up doing a Windows 11 reset or in-place upgrade. I wish I could offer a simpler fix for you.

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.

When running a Windows 11 in-place upgrade, the sections of the registry that are modified by installed files and programs are "usually' not modified. Some settings may be returned to normal. For example, the "menu show delay" tweak (to speed up menus) is returned to normal. Turning off prefetch for SSDs will be returned to normal. But software settings are usually left untouched. Having a backup of your HD or SSD is a good idea, prior to running an in-place upgrade.
