What's new in Windows 11 Build 22631.5545
Gradual roll-out
Default apps
- Additional file and link types are now automatically assigned to the new browser by default if they have been registered by the browser.
- The new browser will be automatically pinned to the taskbar and Start menu by default unless you uncheck the appropriate boxes.
- Added a separate button that allows you to quickly set the browser as the default PDF viewer if the browser has registered this capability.
- Now when you send links or web content through the Share window, a preview of the content will be displayed.
Available to all users
Audit
- Fixed an issue where Privilege Use Auditing created too many security event logs. These logs filled up the system disk and prevented users from logging in.
Authorization
- Addresses an issue where domain-joined computers running Windows 11 22H2 or 23H2 are unable to update their account passwords on Windows Server 2025 domain controllers, causing trust issues.
Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA)
- Updated Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA) profiles for some mobile operators.
Remote Desktop
- Fixed an issue where Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections would not work until the device was rebooted
Network file access
- Fixed an issue where workstations and servers might stop responding when connecting to resources located on SMB shares.
Performance
- Fixed an issue where unused language packs and optional components (Feature on Demand) were not completely removed, resulting in unnecessary disk space usage and increased installation times for Windows Updates.
Windows shell
- Fixed an issue where devices in kiosk mode could become unresponsive after being locked and then unlocked by an administrator.
Windows Hello
- Fixed an issue where Windows Hello for Business would not automatically renew expiring certificates.
Windows Search
- Fixed an issue where Search would open very slowly - the search field could take over 10 seconds to load before it could be used.
