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
