What's new in KB5043145, builds 22621.4249 and 22631.4249
Gradual rollout
Start Menu
Microsoft has made changes to the new account manager in the Start menu, bringing the Sign Out button back into the foreground, which should make it easier to sign out. Switching to another profile still requires opening the extra "..." menu.
Taskbar
Microsoft is introducing the ability to share local files directly from taskbar search results.
Settings
The Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Delivery Optimization page has been updated to match the Windows 11 style.
Lock screen
Media controls now appear at the bottom of the lock screen when playing media.
This update removes the search field from the Share dialog.
Features available right away
IE mode
Fixed an issue where Microsoft Edge would occasionally stop responding when using Internet Explorer mode.
Protection of personal data
Fixed an issue where a PIN was required every time an encrypted email was opened in Outlook or other encrypted email applications.
Copilot Pro Subscription
You can now manage your Copilot Pro subscription from the Settings app under Accounts. You must be signed in to a Microsoft account.
Task Manager
Fixed an issue where Task Manager would become unresponsive when switching from a high-contrast theme to a normal theme.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
Fixed an issue where there was a discrepancy in data between TCP_INFO_v1 and GetPerTcpConnectionEstats . The tools used to analyze TCP connection performance are used by file synchronization services. The issue negatively impacted the accuracy of these tools.
Country and Operator Settings Asset
Updated Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA) profiles for some mobile operators.
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
Fixed an issue where Work Folders would not sync if Defender for Endpoint was enabled.
