KB5035942

Microsoft released KB5035942 to the Release Preview Channel on Windows 11 and the Redmond-based tech giant fixed a lot of bugs with this build, including an annoying (or maybe excellent, depending on how you look at the situation) bug that stopped Windows users from getting Windows apps.

And, after Microsoft previewed the richer lock screen experience on Windows 10, which one of our writers says is only more visual clutter, the Redmond-based tech giant will do the same for Windows 11, as well, as the new build adds weather, sports, traffic, and finance cards to the screen.

Either way, you can see all the bugs that were fixed with the release of the KB5035942 build below:

  • New! This update adds more content to your lock screen. In addition to weather, sports, traffic, and finance content will appear. To turn on this feature, go to Settings > Personalization > Lock screenNote this feature might not be available to all users because it will roll out gradually.
  • New! This update turns on the Autopilot 2.0 feature.
  • New! This update affects Windows Hello for Business. IT admins can now use mobile device management (MDM) to turn off the prompt that appears when users sign in to an Entra-joined machine. To do this, they can turn on the “DisablePostLogonProvisioning” policy setting. After a user signs in, provisioning is off for Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices.
  • New! This update improves the Remote Desktop Session Host. You can now set up its “clipboard redirection” policy to work in a single direction from the local computer to the remote computer. You can also reverse that order.
