Changes and improvements

General

Starting with this build, Beta Channel Insiders who have enabled the option to sign out of the Windows Insider Program under Settings -> Windows Update -> Windows Insider -> Stop Receiving Preview Builds will begin to receive the update. which will exclude them from the testing program. This update will install Windows 11 version 23H2 with the latest updates available to standard users.
Please note that not receiving Beta builds will result in the removal of some features that are not yet available to regular users. All your personal data will be saved. In the future, this process will allow you to stop using insider builds for the Beta channel at any time.
To take advantage of this feature, you will need to update to build 22635.3130 (or later).

Widgets

The new Widgets settings, which became available to some Insiders in the Beta channel in December, are once again rolling out to Windows Insiders after the feature was temporarily disabled.

Fixes

• This update fixes an issue with the COLRv1 color font format. Now it is displayed correctly. Windows uses this format to display 3D emoticons.
• The update affects Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Secure Boot. Added updated signing certificate to Secure Boot DB variable.
• Fixed an issue affecting RemoteApp windows. In some cases, they were not saved on client devices after closing.

• Fixed an issue affecting Group Policy folder redirection in a multi-forest configuration that prevented selecting a group account from the target domain. This prevented the advanced folder redirection settings from being applied to this domain in scenarios where there was one-way trust to the admin user's domain.
