Microsoft Releases 2 Cumulative Updates for Windows 10 22H2, 21H2, 21H1, 1809

Windows 10 has received its first update for the new year.

Microsoft recently launched two Windows 10 updates for versions 22H2, version 21H2, version 21H1, and 1809 that will fix security vulnerabilities and resolve some known bugs.

These updates are either automatically installed by Windows Update or manually added to Windows 10 computers by checking for them on Windows Update.

Microsoft Windows 10 KB5022282 Update Details

Microsoft stated that the first of its two updates for Windows 10, KB5022282, mainly addresses security issues for the operating system. According to the company's post, the update includes all the improvements from the supported Windows 10 version 20H2 editions.

It also addresses a known issue affecting apps using Microsoft Open Database Connectivity SQL server Driver to connect to databases, causing them to fail occasionally. Users may also receive an error in the app or the SQL server in addition to the failed connection, per GHacks and Bleeping Computer.

Windows 10 KB5022282 also resolves a known issue that could affect startup on some Windows devices, providing the user with a blue screen with the error code 0xc000021a.

Finally, this update provides a solution to the issue affecting the Local Session Manager of the operating system, which could allow users without admin rights to do things only an admin can.

However, Windows 10 update comes with an issue that users can work around. Devices with Windows installations created from custom offline media or custom ISO images might have Microsoft Edge Legacy removed, but not automatically replaced by the new Microsoft Edge.

This issue can only be encountered by slipstreaming KB5022282 into the image without installing the standalone servicing stack update beforehand.

To work around this issue, Windows 10 users must slipstream the SSU released on Mar. 29, 2021, or later into the custom offline media or ISO before slipstreaming the LCU.

Windows 10 users should take note that devices connecting directly to Windows Update to receive updates are not affected by this issue. Users of Windows Update for Business are also unaffected by it.

Microsoft Windows 10 KB5022286 Update

Windows 10's KB5022286 update is the meatier of the two, with it addressing some security issues on Windows 10.

For instance, it fixes an issue that could cause authentication to fail after users set the higher 16-bits of the msds-SupportedEncryptionTypes attribute if they didn't set the encryption types or were unable to disable the RC4 encryption type on the domain.

The update also comes with a fix for the issue affecting cluster name objects or virtual computer objects, causing a password reset to fail.

This issue comes with an error message saying "There was an error resetting the AD password... // 0x80070005."

Additionally, Windows 10 KB5022286 addresses an issue affecting Windows Defender for Endpoint, which uses Automated investigation to block live response investigations.

Finally, the update fixes the issue that affects apps using Microsoft Open Database Connectivity SQL server Driver to connect to databases. This issue prevents the computer to make a connection to databases.

Furthermore, the update comes with a new Quick Assist application for a user's client device.
