Improvements
This security update includes quality improvements. When you install this KB:
-
New! It updates the text and web link for Windows Admin Center (WAC) notifications. These appear after you sign in to the desktop unless you have turned them off. The WAC notifications highlight the available Windows Server management options.
-
This update addresses an issue that affects searchindexer.exe. It randomly stops you from signing in or signing out.
-
This update addresses an issue that affects local Kerberos authentication. It fails if the local Key Distribution Center (KDC) service is not active.
-
This update addresses an issue that affects cbs.log. This issue logs messages that are not error messages in cbs.log.
-
This update addresses an issue that affects a virtual machine (VM) that has a dual stack IPv4 and IPv6 private IP (PIP) address. When you migrate the VM from one host to another, the PIPv6 address stays mapped to the old host’s IPv6 Physical Address (PA). Because of this, the IPv6 PIP stops working.
-
This update addresses an issue that affects all commands that change security tags. On Windows 11, version 22H2 computers, the change will fail if you update the Network Controller but not the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) clients.
-
This update addresses an issue that might occur when the Input Method Editor (IME) is active. Applications might stop responding when you use the mouse and keyboard at the same time.
-
This update addresses an issue that might affect FindWindow() or FindWindowEx(). They might return the wrong window handle.
-
This update addresses an issue that affects AppV. It stops file names from having the correct letter case (uppercase or lowercase).
-
This update addresses an issue that affects Microsoft Edge. The issue removes conflicting policies for Microsoft Edge. This occurs when you set the MDMWinsOverGPFlag in a Microsoft Intune tenant and Intune detects a policy conflict.
-
This update addresses an issue that affects Active Directory Federation Service (AD FS). The issue fails to apply the RequirePDC flag setting of “false.”
-
This update addresses an issue that affects MSInfo.exe. It does not correctly report the enforcement status of the Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) user mode policy.
-
This update addresses an issue that affects the Resilient File System (ReFS) MSba tag. The issue causes a nonpaged pool leak.
-
This update addresses an issue that affects parity virtual disks. Using Server Manager to create them fails.

Azure Stack HCI, version 21H2 servicing stack update - 20348.1540
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
|
Symptom |
Workaround |
|---|---|
|
Updates 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. |
How to get this update
