Beware...Windows 11 23H2 update KB5040527 (7/25/2024) broke Corsair iCue again.  Once again, had to repair iCue to load on windows startup. 
 
Stupid Microsoft...the repair won't take....can only monitor Liquid temps and my cooling is now based on that.  Next step will be to uninstall the update...
 
***Had to uninstall iCue using Revo uninstaller.  Then reinstalled it from scratch...luckily, the settings for my AIO, memory were saved in another place...so after reinstall of iCue...my settings were there.  Luckily, my keyboard has onboard memory...so everything was safe there as well. 
 
Corsair just released iCue 5.17.104 which works fine

Since that update is only being offered as a preview/optional update, I guess I'll just pass on it for now. Thanks for the heads-up Bob.

Windows 10 KB5040525 fixes WDAC issues causing app failures, memory leak
 published 23 July 2024
(excerpts)
"KB5040525 fixes a WDAC memory leak that may exhaust system memory as time passes when provisioning a device and a bug that triggers app failures when applying WDAC Application ID policies.
It also addresses a known Windows Backup issue where backups will sometimes fail for devices with an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) system partition (ESP)."
 

More highlights in Windows 10 KB5040525

This optional release includes additional fixes and improvements and will update Windows 10 22H2 to build 19045.4717.
Other highlighted fixes and new features in July's non-security preview update include:
  • This update addresses an issue with the Print Support App: when you use it with a USB device, it stops responding and does not print. This issue also limits the functions of the user interface.
  • This update addresses an issue with Universal Print clients failing to communicate with the Universal Print service, which affects printing functions. This issue occurs when you turn on Web Proxy Auto Discovery (WPAD).
  • This update adds to the Windows Kernel Vulnerable Driver Blocklist file (DriverSiPolicy.p7b) drivers at risk for Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attacks.
If you use Windows 10 versions 2004, 20H2, 21H1, or 21H2, you can upgrade to Windows 10 22H2 using an enablement package to activate the Windows 10 version 22H2 features.
The complete list of changes included with this update is included in the KB5040525 support bulletin published by Microsoft on Tuesday.

KB5041582 fixes memory leaks impacting the Input Method Editor (IME) and Bluetooth devices, issues causing system freezes and preventing restarts, and also brings Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA) profiles up to date for some mobile operators.
 

More highlights in Windows 10 KB5041582

Once installed, this preview release will update Windows 10 22H2 systems to build 19045.4842.
The complete list of fixes and changes in this month's non-security preview update includes the following:
  • [Input Method Editor (IME)] When a combo box has input focus, a memory leak might occur when you close that window
  • [Country and Operator Settings Asset] This update brings COSA profiles up to date for certain mobile operators.
  • [Bluetooth] An app stops responding because of a memory leak in a device.
  • [Bind Filter Driver] Your system might stop responding when it accesses symbolic links.
  • [Unified Write Filter (UWF) and Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM)] An SCCM task to re-enable UWF fails because of a deadlock in UWF. This stops the device from restarting when you expect it.
Systems running Windows 10 versions 2004, 20H2, 21H1, or 21H2 can be upgraded to Windows 10 version 22H2 using the KB5015684 enablement package. This package activates inactive Windows 10 22H2 features that are still dormant.

Windows 11 has a similar update (KB5041587) which is optional so far.  Some of the same fixes found in the update above for Windows 10 are in this update.
