Microsoft Releases May 2023 Cumulative Update For Windows 11

It doesn’t realize that May 2023 has reached its second week, where according to the schedule set by Microsoft, on Tuesday the second week they will release cumulative updates what we usually call tuesday patch.

Now specifically for Windows 11, there is an update that is certainly available for you to download and install now, namely update KB5026368 for Windows 11 21H2 which will change OS Build to 22000.1936 and update KB5026372 for Windows 11 22H2 which will change the OS Build to 22621.1702.

Windows 11 21H2

As for the improvements presented in Build 22000.1936 itself, unfortunately not much was revealed by Microsoft other than that this update brings improvements to the Windows Local Administrator Password (LAPS).

• This update addresses a race condition in Windows Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS). The Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) might stop responding. This occurs when the system processes multiple local account operations at the same time. The access violation error code is 0xc0000005.

Windows 11 22H2

And for Build 22621.1702, the improvements presented are more or less the same as version 21H2, namely:

• This update affects the Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection security feature. The update adds more drivers to the database of drivers that are not compatible with it. A device uses this database when you enable this security feature in the Windows Security UI and it loads the drivers.
• This update addresses a race condition in Windows Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS). The Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) might stop responding. This occurs when the system processes multiple local account operations at the same time. The access violation error code is 0xc0000005.

Apart from that, keep in mind that the updates received by each version certainly bring a number of improvements that were previously introduced in preview updates the end of the previous month, namely on April 25, 2023, namely the updates KB5025305 for Windows 11 22H2 and KB5025298 for Windows 11 21H2.

So, get on with it, for you Windows 11 users, this update should have been installed automatically on your device, but if it hasn’t, you can immediately update your system via the page Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates.
