Windows 10 KB5031445 preview update fixes ctfmon.exe memory leak, 9 issues(excerpts)
Microsoft has released the optional KB5031445 Preview cumulative update for Windows 10 22H2 with nine improvements or fixes, including a fix for a memory leak in ctfmon.exe.
The KB5031445 cumulative update preview is part of Microsoft's "
optional non-security preview updates" schedule, which are typically released on the fourth Tuesday of every month. This update allows Windows admins to test upcoming fixes and features that will be released in the upcoming November Patch Tuesday.
The only known issue in this update causes BitLocker errors:"Using the
FixedDrivesEncryptionType or
SystemDrivesEncryptionType policy settings in the
BitLocker configuration service provider (CSP) node in mobile device management (MDM) apps might incorrectly show a 65000 error in the "Require Device Encryption" setting for some devices in your environment," explains the release notes.
"Affected environments are those with the "Enforce drive encryption type on operating system drives" or "Enforce drive encryption on fixed drives" policies set to enabled and selecting either "full encryption" or 'used space only'."
"Microsoft Intune is affected by this issue but third-party MDMs might also pe affected."
Microsoft says this is only a reporting issue, not a BitLocker drive encryption problem. Redmond says they are working on a fix and will release it when it's ready.
