In a notable move, Microsoft has rolled out a non-security update for Windows 10 version 22H2, alongside updates for its more recent Windows 11 versions 23H2 and 22H2. The update, designated as KB5052077 with a build number of 19045.5555, addresses several key issues, enhancing user experience across various functionalities.
Update Highlights
- Daylight Saving Time (DST): This update introduces support for DST changes in Paraguay.
- Narrator Improvements
- Fixed: The Narrator now accurately announces the Chinese IME candidate window quick action buttons.
- Fixed: It now correctly identifies the control type for the Chinese IME suggestion opt-in item.
- Fixed: The heading of the Chinese IME suggestion opt-in panel is now properly announced.
Beyond these highlights, the update brings forth additional enhancements:
- Input Method Editor (IME)
- Fixed: Resolved an issue where the Chinese IME would stop responding upon changing the font family or size.
- Fixed: Improved the color contrast ratio of the Chinese IME search suggestion panel.
- Desktop Window Manager (dwm.exe): Addressed the issue causing dwm.exe to become unresponsive on multiple occasions.
- Country and Operator Settings Asset: Updated COSA profiles for specific mobile operators.
- Open Secure Shell (OpenSSH): Fixed a known issue where the service would fail to start, hindering SSH connections. Users are advised to manually run the sshd.exe process due to a lack of detailed logging.
However, two known issues persist: one related to Citrix components that may hinder the installation of certain updates, and another concerning the System Guard Runtime Monitor Broker. Microsoft has reassured users that there is no cause for alarm regarding the latter, with plans to address both in a future update.
