KB5022360 has been released to the Windows 11 Release Preview Channel

There has been a lot of talk about lately about all the Insider Preview builds that have been released to the Dev and Beta Channels for Windows 11.

Today, however, we’re going to talk about the changes that actually made it to the Release Preview Channel, as Microsoft just put out a new build.

Before we jump into it, remember to check out this month’s Patch Tuesday rollout. You’d also like to know that Microsoft is planning to retire MSDT for the Windows OS.

Also, if you are using Windows 11, know that it has been discovered that the Secure Boot feature for the operating system is not actually working.

Secure Boot was actually one of the most important Windows 11 system requirements and this represents a major safety issue.

Circling back to the Release Preview Channel, we are going to take a more in-depth look at Windows 11 Build 22621.1192 and find out what makes it tick.

What should I expect after downloading KB5022360?

The Redmond-based tech giant, also known as Microsoft, has provided Insider build 22621.1192 (KB5022360) to the Windows 11 Release Preview channel.

In short, this new build will now offer .NET Framework updates that will be displayed inside the Settings app, among others.

You should definitely know that it also fixes a TPM-related issue, a search indexing issue, a thread deadlock issue, and more.

There are no major, system-changing differences, just some fixes, and minor changes brought to some of the areas of the OS.

Let’s take a closer look at this changelog and discover firsthand what we are dealing with after downloading and installing KB5022360.

Changes, improvements, and fixes
