Key Improvements

Moreover, there have been enhancements to hinting for some letters of the Verdana Pro font family, adjustments to text edit controls in XAML and browser controls, and the update to Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA) profiles.

 

Concerns with the Defender Firewall Profile, unexpected Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) mode switches, reappearing eSIM dialogues, IPsec deadlock, and MPSSV service system restarts have all been addressed. It also adds at-risk drivers to the Windows Kernel Vulnerable Driver Blocklist, DriverSiPolicy.p7b, and addresses issues with Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC).

 

 

Microsoft has confirmed that only the new updates contained in this package will be downloaded and installed on your device if you installed earlier updates.
