• This update adds a new API for D3D12 Independent Devices. You can use it to create multiple D3D12 devices on the same adapter. To learn more, see D3D12 Independent Devices.

• This update addresses an issue that affects virtual machines (VM). Creating new VMs fails for Azure Stack Hub customers. This occurs when you add a new node to a cluster.

• This update addresses an issue that affects certain VMs. Deploying them fails. This occurs because certain VM images do not respond to Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) requests if the source is outside of the local network.

• This update addresses an issue that affects Azure Stack HCI customers. Your attempts to create VMs fail. This occurs when you delete and recreate server Representational State Transfer (REST) resources for the Network Controller.

• This update addresses an issue that affects the Remote Desktop (RD) Web Role. If you enable that role, it fails when you upgrade RD deployments more than once.

• This update addresses an issue that affects Narrator. Its focus does not change when the keyboard focus changes. Because of this, Narrator reads the wrong label within the dialog that appears when you sign in.

• This update addresses an issue that affects the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC). It has a handle leak. Because of this, the system runs out of memory.

• This update addresses an issue that affects the Resultant Set of Policy (RSOP). The Windows LAPS "BackupDirectory" policy setting was not being reported. This occurs when the setting is set to 1, which is “Back up to AAD.”

• This update addresses an issue that affects authentication. Using a smart card to join or rejoin a computer to an Active Directory domain might fail. This occurs after you install Windows updates dated October 2022 or later. For more details, see KB5020276.
