  • Stability of clusters on Windows Server 2022. Machines in the same cluster shutdown when you don't expect them to. This leads to high latency and network availability issues.

  • Bootloader. A race condition might stop a computer from starting. This occurs when you configure the bootloader to start many operating systems.

  • Autopilot. Using Autopilot to provision a Surface Laptop SE device fails.

  • Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC). A memory leak occurs that might exhaust system memory as time goes by. This issue occurs when you provision a device.

  • Protected Process Light (PPL) protections. You can bypass them.

  • Windows Kernel Vulnerable Driver Blocklist file (DriverSiPolicy.p7b). This update adds to the list of drivers that are at risk for Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attacks.

  • NetJoinLegacyAccountReuse. This update removes this registry key. For more information, see KB 5020276 Net join: Domain join hardening changes.

  • BitLocker (known issue). A BitLocker recovery screen shows when you start up your device. This occurs after you install the July 9, 2024, update. This issue is more likely to occur if device encryption is on. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Device encryption. To unlock your drive, Windows might ask you to enter the recovery key from your Microsoft account.

  • Lock screen. This update addresses CVE-2024-38143. As a result, the Use my windows user account check box isn't available on the lock screen to connect to Wi-Fi.

  • Secure Boot Advanced Targeting (SBAT) and Linux Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI). This update applies SBAT to systems that run Windows and stops vulnerable Linux EFI (shim bootloaders) from running. This update doesn't apply to systems that dual-boot Windows and Linux. After the update is applied, older Linux ISO images might not boot. If this occurs, work with your Linux vendor to get an updated ISO image.

  • Domain Name System (DNS). This update hardens DNS server security to address CVE-2024-37968. If the configurations of your domains aren't up to date, you might get the SERVFAIL error or a time-out.

This issue is more likely to occur when Customer-Managed Keys (CMKs) are in use, like on an Azure Synapse dedicated SQL pool.

  • Input Method Editor (IME). The candidate list fails to show or shows it in the wrong position.

  • Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). A malformed Human Interface Device (HID) descriptor causes WPF to stop responding.

  • Handwriting panels and touch keyboards. They don't appear when you use the tablet pen.

  • HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM ForceDisableModeChangeAnimation (REG_DWORD). This is a new registry key. When you set its value to 1 (or a non-zero number), it turns off the display mode change animation. If the value is 0 or the key doesn't exist, the animation is set to on.

  • Remote Desktop MultiPoint Server. A race condition causes the service to stop responding.
