Microsoft releases KB5034765 update to address security issues and more

Recently, Microsoft released the Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 23H2 & Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034765).

This update came out on the second Patch Tuesday and bumped the OS build to 22621.3155 for Version 22H2 and 22631.3155 for Version 23H2.
