July 2023 Windows 11 Version 22H2 Non-Security Optional Preview "C" Release

[Corrine]

Microsoft released the monthly "C" release preview cumulative updates with non-security improvements and fixes for Windows 11, Version 22H2 today.

Below are some of the many highlights included in the KB5028254 update. See the KB article for the long list of improvements.

Highlights:

• This update makes brightness settings more accurate.
• This update addresses an issue that affects certain display and audio devices. They are missing after your system resumes from sleep.
• This update addresses an issue that affects Widgets. They unpin from the taskbar when you do not expect it.
• This update addresses an issue that affects virtual private networks (VPN). There might be excessive Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) requests to the network gateway. This occurs when the VPN is on a wireless mesh network that uses an aggressive throttling algorithm. Because of this, network performance is poor.

Update: To get the update, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. The link to download and install the update can be found in the Optional updates area.  To get the standalone package for this update, go to the Microsoft Update Catalog website.
