Known issues in this update​

Applies toSymptomWorkaround
IT adminsUsing the FixedDrivesEncryptionType or SystemDrivesEncryptionType policy settings in the BitLocker configuration service provider (CSP) node in mobile device management (MDM) apps might incorrectly show a 65000 error in the "Require Device Encryption" setting for some devices in your environment. Affected environments are those with the “Enforce drive encryption type on operating system drives” or "Enforce drive encryption on fixed drives" policies set to enabled and selecting either "full encryption" or "used space only". Microsoft Intune is affected by this issue but third-party MDMs might also pe affected.

Important This issue is a reporting issue only and does not affect drive encryption or the reporting of other issues on the device, including other BitLocker issues.
To mitigate this issue in Microsoft Intune, you can set the “Enforce drive encryption type on operating system drives” or "Enforce drive encryption on fixed drives" policies to not configured.

We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
All usersWindows devices using more than one (1) monitor might experience issues with desktop icons moving unexpectedly between monitors or other icon alignment issues when attempting to use Copilot in Windows (in preview).To prevent users from encountering this issue, Copilot in Windows (in preview) might not be available on devices that have been used or are currently being used in a multimonitor configuration.

We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
All usersThe color font format for COLRv1 does not render properly. This format enables Windows to display emoji with a 3D-like appearance.We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
All usersWhen using physical media or disc images (ISO) to install Windows 11, version 23H2 (also referred to as the Windows 11 2023 Update) on a device, Microsoft Narrator might not start.

Narrator is commonly initialized using keyboard commands, such as Ctrl + Windows key + Enter. Although Narrator is present in Windows when the installation process begins, it might open in an unresponsive state when initialized using any method.

Please note this issue does not occur when Windows 11, version 23H2 is installed using Windows Update on a device which is already running Windows 10 or Windows 11. This issue only occurs when physical media or ISOs are used for this installation and Narrator is only affected while the installation process is taking place. It should continue to work as expected once the installation is completed.
We are working on a resolution and updated media which can be used to install Windows 11, version 23H2 without this issue. We will provide an update in an upcoming release.
All usersMicrosoft has received reports of an issue in which some Wi-Fi adapters might not connect to some networks after installing this update. We have confirmed this issue was caused by this update and KB5033375. As reported, you are more likely to be affected by this issue if you are attempting to connect to an enterprise, education, or public Wi-Fi network using 802.1x authentication. This issue is not likely to occur on home networks.This issue is addressed using Known Issue Rollback (KIR). Please note that it might take up to 24 hours for the KIR to propagate automatically to consumer devices and non-managed business devices. Restarting your Windows device might help the KIR apply to your device faster.

For enterprise-managed devices that have installed an affected update and encountered this issue, it can be addressed by installing and configuring a special Group Policy. The special Group Policy can be found in Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > <Group Policy name listed below>
For information on deploying and configuring these special Group Policy, please see How to use Group Policy to deploy a Known Issue Rollback.

Group Policy downloads with Group Policy name:
Important You will need to install and configure the Group Policy for your version of Windows to resolve this issue. You will also need to restart your device(s) to apply the group policy setting.

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 and Microsoft UpdateYesNone. This update will be downloaded and installed automatically from Windows Update.
Windows Update for BusinessYesNone. This update will be downloaded and installed automatically from Windows Update in accordance with configured policies.
Microsoft Update CatalogYesTo get the standalone package for this update, go to the Microsoft Update Catalog website.
Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)YesThis update will automatically sync with WSUS if you configure Products and Classifications as follows:
Product: Windows 11
Classification: Security Updates

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.

This update automatically installed on a a Win11 Pro desktop -- and like with my other desktop, broke it. Search button no longer works, nor does settings;

I am using the MCT to download an ISO of this latest build to see if a Repair-Install will work; otherwise, it's back to the previous build;

UPDATE: The repair-install worked but the situation now is WORSE!! I get no taskbar at all. I die the Explorer restart stuff from the tutorial here, but that changed nothing.

Looks like I will have to do an image restore from build 2715 and fine out how to prevent Windows Updates after that.

Here is a weird one, not just specific to this build, same problem with any build with latest updates.
MS updated the MTP USB Device drivers and now, when I connect my Canon camera to the USB for uploading the pictures, it doesn't work correctly anymore. 😵‍💫🤬
I have to use a workaround to bypass the bug. 😵‍💫🤬🤐
Anybody else with a similar issue?

Here I don't have problems with my two camera's:
- One very old Fujifilm Finepix F700
- And a more modern Sony Cybershot DSC-HX90

Both are functioning correctly if connected via USB.
Camera's are visible in File Explorer as USB-drive or recognized as camera (depends on the settings in the camera).
I can download pictures from both camera's, tried the direct way in File Explorer (where you have to choose the right subfolder) or in Faststone Image Viewer (where you can download pictures directly).

I guess they supply the correct drivers for your cameras.
I'll be curious to hear from other users with Canon cameras. 😎
It looks like Canon support is completely useless, they drop support for their product as quick as they can.
I think they just lost another customer, no more Canon products of any type for me. 😝🤬🤬

No. I have no special drivers loaded in my system.
All is done by the built-in USB-driver of Windows 11!

Long ago in Window 2000 it was neccessary to install the Fuji USB-driver, but I never install it on a new system anymore.
I bought the Fuji camera in 2004, but it's still functioning 100% and my wife is very content with it!
The driver that may have come with the Sony camera I don't install at all, don't even know if there was one with the camera.
Only on my (Android) tablet I have an app to wireless transfer files from the camera to the tablet.

What program do you use to transfer files from the camera to your system?
Just File Explorer or something special?
What do you see in File Explorer when you attach the USB cable to the camera?
Maybe there is some setting of your camera that causes the problem.
If I set the settings in the camera(s) wrong, I don't get a connection...

What model do you have?

There is no settings and no programs, I just use file explorer to copy the files from the Camera.
The driver is provided by Microsoft windows as most of the other USB MTP devices. It was working fine till they changed the stupid driver from 10.1.22621.1 to 10.1.22621.2506 and higher a few weeks ago.
It should just show up as a removable device to access the files with explorer.
Now I have to jump through the hoops to get it to work. I found a workaround, but it is ridiculous.
It still works fine with Windows 11 Build 22621.1702. The bug was introduced later and fails the same way with all the recent builds including any insider build. For a detailed description take a look at this link below. I find many hits on the web for problems with Canon cameras, but not this specific one. Canon drops support to their devices as soon as they can, no difference with this one, they suck. 🤬🤬.

I have a Canon EOS Rebel T41.... it works.
It shows up in File Explorer, no problem. Pictures are there.
Well, not this camera anymore 🤬 It works fine only with older Version of windows 11, not after they updated the MTP USB Device drivers.
Canon PowerShot A1200.

I don't know if it matters, but I've totally removed WMP.

You show the correct driver for the camera.
How did you remove WMP? What is it used for? Windows media Player? How can that make a difference? 🤷‍♂️

B.T.W.
It still shows the camera driver when I disconnect if I show hidden devices. The problem comes back when I reconnect the camera and it shows MTP USB Device instead of the Camera driver. 😂

I removed WMP long ago, (nothing to do with camera). I just mentioned it, in case it was important.


MTP is part of the "Windows Media" framework and thus closely related to Windows Media Player. Versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system from Windows XP SP2 support MTP. Windows XP requires Windows Media Player 10 or higher;[3] later Windows versions have built-in support. Microsoft has made an MTP Porting Kit available for older versions of Windows, back to Windows 98.



Also... in case it matters... this is my camera...

Note: My $330 Samsung Galaxy A54 5G, takes much better pictures.
Canon = 12 MP
Samsung = 50 MP
Either that or I'm not operating the T4i properly. :-)

According to that MS link you posted... it only shows the MTP thing in Device Manager when the camera isn't connected.

In my Device Manager it never shows the MTP thing. It shows the camera or nothing.

With Show Hidden Devices check marked, I see this. And none of this stuff is connected at the moment...
Ah... those were all Ghost Devices. When I ran Device Cleanup Tool, they all went away.

Image1.png




Run Device Cleanup.exe in the x64 folder, as Admin, to clean the ghost devices from your Device Manager.
Select All and then... Remove Selected.
This scans 100% clean, locally and at Virustotal...

Any time you connect anything to your computer, and then disconnect it, it leaves a ghost entry in Device Manager. This tool removes all the ghost entries.

Ghost Devices don't cause any problems... but for the OCD types, this tool is a godsend. :cool:

I believe I used Method #2, and then manually searched for remnants...



I don't "know" if this has anything to do with the MTP fiasco. Like I mentioned above, I removed WMP long ago, just because it calls home too much. :-)



I use Foobar2000. It doesn't call home at all. I don't think it even has a phone. :D

No, you are missing the point. The problem is that it shows MTP USB Device even when the camera is connected, at that point it does not work.
In some machines it switches to the proper Camera driver after a long delay, on other machines it never switches until I click on "Scan for hardware changes" then the proper driver for the camera shows up and the camera is finally accessible. 😂😂🤬

After "Scan for hardware changes" the driver switches to the correct one:

I understand.
MY comp "never" shows MTP USB Device. It doesn't matter if the camera is connected or not.

I don't "know" anything about this stuff. You had asked if anyone had a Canon camera, and were things still working. So I checked... because I had a Canon camera. :-)



The "only" change I've noticed is that the Canon EOS Utility doesn't seem to work like it used to.
I have/had it set to download pics from the camera to a folder on my storage drive.

Now I can select all the pics, and tell it to download, and it makes a progress bar.
But the pics aren't going to my storage drive anymore. They don't seem to go... anywhere.

But... like the phone, I can grab the Canon pics from File Explorer.

I've been auto-saving my Camera pics to these folders for ten years. Now that doesn't work anymore.
The utility started saving everything to the 2017_06_25 folder, even though the dialog window claims it's saving them to a folder with the current date.

Now.... it don't even do that, even while it "says" it IS saving the pics to a folder on my storage drive.

    Still assembled, still runs. Haven't turned it on for 13 years?
I believe I used Method #2, and then manually searched for remnants...



I don't "know" if this has anything to do with the MTP fiasco. Like I mentioned above, I removed WMP long ago, just because it calls home too much. :-)



I use Foobar2000. It doesn't call home at all. I don't think it even has a phone. :D

I once remember seeing a documentary about a bunch of Hare Krishna (or similar) monks and disciples being interviewed by BBC Scotland TV who had all settled on a remote Scottish Island.

Whilst they were explaining they had settled there to escape modern life and technology so they could focus on communing with nature, suddenly the mobile phone of the lead monk rang. The camera crew fell about laughing and the looks on their faces was priceless.

The embarrased monk leader huffed and puffed trying to make out the phone was for emergencies, but by then all credibility was gone.

One thing did impress me though - the fact that you could get a mobile signal on this remote island LOL.

I understand.
MY comp "never" shows MTP USB Device. It doesn't matter if the camera is connected or not.

I don't "know" anything about this stuff. You had asked if anyone had a Canon camera, and were things still working. So I checked... because I had a Canon camera. :-)



The "only" change I've noticed is that the Canon EOS Utility doesn't seem to work like it used to.
I have/had it set to download pics from the camera to a folder on my storage drive.

Now I can select all the pics, and tell it to download, and it makes a progress bar.
But the pics aren't going to my storage drive anymore. They don't seem to go... anywhere.

But... like the phone, I can grab the Canon pics from File Explorer.

I've been auto-saving my Camera pics to these folders for ten years. Now that doesn't work anymore.
When searching for my camera problem, I hit several posts about EOS camera problems caused by the MTP drivers.
My case is different, it just does not switch to the correct camera driver when the camera is connected, it shows the MTP driver instead.
The camera cannot be accessed till it loads the correct driver. 🤷‍♂️ Worked fine before they updated these drivers.

B.T.W. the WMP doesn't make any difference.
