Microsoft has released Windows 10 22H2 Build 19045.6156 (KB5062649) to the Release Preview Channel, introducing several key updates and improvements.
Enhanced Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) Enrollment
A significant enhancement in this build addresses a critical issue with the Windows 10 ESU enrollment wizard. Previously, users encountered a problem where clicking "Enroll now" caused the wizard to open, begin loading, and then close unexpectedly. This was due to incomplete app registration, preventing the wizard from loading correctly. The current update resolves this issue, ensuring a smoother and more reliable enrollment experience for users.
Updated Mobile Operator Profiles
The update also includes revisions to the Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA) profiles. These updates ensure that mobile operator settings are current, enhancing connectivity and performance for users across various networks.
Introduction of SKUSiPolicy VBS Anti-Rollback Protections
A notable addition in this build is the ability to deploy SKUSiPolicy Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) Anti-rollback protections through the Secure Boot AvailableUpdates registry key. This feature enhances system security by preventing unauthorized rollback of security policies, thereby maintaining the integrity of the system's security posture.
Resolution of Stability Issues Post-May 2025 Security Update
The update addresses stability issues observed in rare cases after installing the May 2025 security update and subsequent updates. Some devices became unresponsive and stopped responding in specific scenarios. This fix ensures improved system stability and reliability for affected users.
Conclusion
Windows 10 Build 19045.6156 brings critical enhancements aimed at improving system security, stability, and user experience. Users in the Release Preview Channel are encouraged to install this update to benefit from these improvements.
