[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Highlights​

• Updates security for your Windows operating system.

Improvements​

Important: To ensure that some updates in this release work as expected, the Windows Web Experience Pack from the Microsoft Store must be current. If the App Settings > App updates setting is enabled, the latest version of the pack will be automatically installed. You can also manually install the current Windows Web Experience Pack. For information about updating the Windows Web Experience Pack and enabling automatic updates from the Microsoft Store, see How to update the Windows Web Experience Pack in the Microsoft Store.
This security update includes improvements that were a part of update KB5010414 (released February 15, 2022) and also addresses the following issues:

• Addresses a known issue that occurs when you attempt to reset a Windows device and its apps have folders that contain reparse data, such as Microsoft OneDrive or Microsoft OneDrive for Business. When you select Remove everything, files that have been downloaded or synced locally from Microsoft OneDrive might not be deleted. Some devices might take up to seven (7) days after you install this update to fully address the issue and prevent files from persisting after a reset. For immediate effect, you can manually trigger Windows Update Troubleshooter using the instructions in Windows Update Troubleshooter.

If you installed earlier updates, only the new updates contained in this package will be downloaded and installed on your device.

For more information about security vulnerabilities, please refer to the Security Update Guide website and the March 2022 Security Updates.

Some of the highlighted fixes in the Windows 11 KB5011493 update are:

• You can now share cookies between Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Edge Internet Explorer mode, providing more seamless integration.
• The Windows 11 clock and date will now be shown on the taskbar for other monitors connected to your device.
• Microsoft fixed an issue that displays right-to-left (RTL) language text, such as Hebrew, as left-justified on File Explorer command menus and context menus.
• Microsoft fixed an issue causing the time zone list to be blank for non-administrators.
• Microsoft fixed incorrect tooltips when hovering over other icons like battery, volume, or Wi-Fi.
• We added a new entry point for the Widget app to show live weather content on the left side of the taskbar when you hover over it. Microsoft is starting with Weather but may expand to other content in the future.
