These are the fixes and new features available with the latest update preview of Windows 11:

  • Addressed an issue that affects the command line. It fails when you set the system locale to Japanese and cmd.exe is configured in legacy mode.
  • Addressed an issue that affects the Notepad box in Settings. It fails to show all the available options.
  • Addressed an issue that affects Microsoft PowerPoint. It stops responding. This occurs when you use accessibility tools.
  • The update addresses an issue that affects the Remote Procedure Call Service (rpcss.exe). The issue might cause a race condition between the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) and the Microsoft Remote Procedure Call (RPC) endpoint mapper.
  • This update affects the ms-appinstaller URI. It now works with the DesktopAppInstaller policy.

  • Addressed an issue that affects Desired State Configuration. It loses its previously configured options. This occurs if metaconfig.mof is missing.

  • Addressed 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.
  • Addressed an issue that affects the new Windows Runtime (WinRT) API. This issue stops an application from querying for location information using MBIM2.0+.

  • Addressed an issue that affects the SharedPC account manager. It cannot delete multiple accounts during cleanup.
  • Addressed an issue that affects Xbox subscribers. If you purchase an Xbox subscription using the “Redeem code” option, the Xbox subscription card does not appear on the Settings Accounts page. This occurs when recurring billing is off.
  • Addressed an issue that might affect lsass.exe. It might stop responding. This occurs when it sends a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) query to a domain controller that has a very large LDAP filter.
