Microsoft today shipped a small but targeted cumulative update to Windows Insiders in the Release Preview Channel: Windows 11 Build 22631.5982 (KB5065790) for devices running Windows 11, version 23H2 (Build 22631). The release is a focused quality update that addresses several practical stability and localization issues — from sign-in hangs when using a SIM PIN to remote desktop display problems and printer-queue crashes — and is being rolled out through the Release Preview pipeline for validation before any broader deployment. (blogs.windows.com)

Windows Insider releases to the Release Preview Channel have become the regular place Microsoft uses to push cumulative-quality updates and selective feature rollouts for the public servicing baseline (in this case, 23H2 / Build 22631). These Release Preview builds frequently contain both fixes that will appear in the next public monthly update and smaller, targeted corrections for issues that surfaced in the field or through Insider feedback. Seeing a Build increment like 22631.5982 and a Knowledge Base identifier (KB5065790) indicates a servicing-style LCU (Latest Cumulative Update) intended primarily to resolve stability and compatibility regressions rather than introduce new features. (blogs.windows.com)
This update follows the pattern Microsoft used throughout 2025: periodic servicing for the established 23H2 baseline while parallel work continues on higher-numbered branches used in Beta and Dev channels. Release Preview remains the recommended Insider destination for users who want early access to cumulative fixes and some controlled feature rollouts without the higher risk of Dev/Canary builds. (blogs.windows.com)

What’s included in Build 22631.5982 (KB5065790)​

The official Windows Insider post lists the fixes included in this build. The changes are concise and focused on real-world failure modes:
  • Authentication: Fixed an issue where the Windows sign-in screen could stop responding after a user enters the SIM PIN when signing in over a mobile broadband connection. (blogs.windows.com)
  • Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA): Updated operator profiles for certain mobile carriers so devices have up-to-date configuration information for mobile networks and eSIM behavior. (blogs.windows.com)
  • Display Kernel: Addressed a crash/ unexpected shutdown that could occur with display configuration changes during Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) sessions using multiple monitors — specifically when disconnecting from a docking station during a streaming session. (blogs.windows.com)
  • Input (Chinese IME): Fixed an issue where some Chinese characters were not rendering correctly (appeared as empty boxes) in particular text fields or when a character limit was imposed. The post even calls out a scenario involving the Connection Manager Administration Kit. (blogs.windows.com)
  • Printer: Fixed a bug where viewing the shared printer queue in Settings could cause the Print Queue UI to stop working. (blogs.windows.com)
  • System services and reliability: Fixed a description-less McpManagement service entry — a smaller but tidy reliability fix to restore expected metadata for the service. (blogs.windows.com)
Each of these corrections is narrowly scoped and aimed at improving day-to-day reliability for affected users. They’re the kind of fixes that often don’t make headlines but materially reduce friction for people who encountered these problems.

Why these fixes matter (practical impact)​

1) Sign-in reliability for cellular users​

The SIM PIN sign-in hang may seem obscure, but it impacts any user who relies on cellular connectivity or an embedded modem to authenticate — notably laptops with built-in WWAN or devices using mobile hotspots and eSIM profiles. A sign-in screen that becomes unresponsive after entering a SIM PIN effectively locks users out or forces recovery workflows, increasing support calls for OEMs and IT teams. The presence of a targeted fix is important for mobile-first professionals and field workers. For context on how Windows surfaces SIM PIN controls and why cellular sign-in matters, Microsoft’s cellular settings documentation explains how SIM PIN behavior is surfaced in the Settings UI and why correct handling is essential. (support.microsoft.com)

2) COSA updates = better carrier interoperability​

Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA) updates are small but meaningful: they keep carrier profiles, APNs, and network behavior current. That matters across two scenarios — users who travel internationally and devices that depend on operator-provisioned behaviors. Outdated COSA profiles can cause flaky connectivity or misapplied operator policies; Microsoft’s periodic COSA updates are part of ensuring cellular connectivity behaves as intended. The build note’s explicit callout means some Insiders — and customers of certain carriers — should see improved mobile performance after applying the update. (blogs.windows.com)

3) Remote work resiliency: RDP + docking workflows​

The display kernel fix is one of the higher-impact items: many knowledge workers use docking stations and external displays, and remote desktop workflows are common in enterprise and small-business environments. A situation where disconnecting from a dock — or display reconfiguration — during an RDP streaming session can cause the system to shut down is not just annoying; it risks data loss and session disruption. By addressing the display-config edge case, Microsoft reduces risk for hybrid workflows that mix local docking with remote sessions. Similar release notes in earlier builds show Microsoft’s focus on display and taskbar refinements in 23H2 servicing. (blogs.windows.com)

4) Localization and input correctness​

Fixes to the Chinese IME and character rendering are important for users typing in Chinese. Blank boxes or missing glyphs are a serious usability problem in any language; they affect productivity in documents, web forms, and enterprise management tools. The fact that the post references a specific scenario (Connection Manager Admin Kit controls) suggests Microsoft patched an edge-case behavior that could affect administrators or localized apps. Given Windows’ global user base, IME and font rendering fixes carry outsized importance despite modest release notes. (blogs.windows.com)

5) Printing stability and system housekeeping​

Printer UI crashes and service metadata issues (McpManagement) are lower-severity but wide-scope fixes. Printer queue bugs affect everyday workflows in office and home environments, and service description fixes restore system clarity for administrators reviewing services or automating checks. Those changes reduce “small annoyances” that, cumulatively, drive helpdesk volume. (blogs.windows.com)

What the update does not include (and what to expect next)​

  • This build is not a feature update — it is a cumulative quality rollup for the 23H2 baseline. Expect no sweeping UX changes or new Copilot+ features in this SKU. The build increments and KB naming convention identify it as a servicing LCU rather than a feature enablement. (blogs.windows.com)
  • The update is currently targeted at Windows Insiders in the Release Preview Channel. That means it’s undergoing validation in pre-release rings and may be included in the next public cumulative release if telemetry and feedback are positive. Release Preview serves as the final step before updates reach broader channels, particularly for fixes intended for the stable servicing baseline. (blogs.windows.com)
  • There’s no mention in the release note of security fixes or CVE remediations. That’s typical for small, focused builds; security fixes and Patch Tuesday deliverables are usually documented separately on Microsoft’s support pages and the public update history. If you require security-critical patches, check the official monthly security update rollouts. (learn.microsoft.com)

Deployment guidance for users and administrators​

  • For most individual users enrolled in the Release Preview Channel, the update will be offered automatically through Windows Update. Insiders who want these fixes sooner can check Windows Update and apply the optional cumulative if it appears. The Release Preview is optional and not as experimental as Dev or Canary builds, but vendors still recommend backing up critical data before applying pre-release updates. (blogs.windows.com)
  • IT administrators should treat this as a candidate fix set: validate the update in a controlled subset of devices — especially those that use WWAN, docking station workflows, or localized Chinese input workflows — before broad deployment. Prioritize pilot machines that mirror real-world usage scenarios (mobile workers, multi-monitor docking, and shared printer setups) to confirm the fixes behave as expected. (blogs.windows.com)
  • If your environment is experiencing one of the behaviors mentioned (SIM-PIN sign-in hang, RDP docking disconnect shutdown, printer queue crash, or Chinese IME character issues), schedule the build into your pilot ring. If you don’t see the update in Windows Update but want to test immediately, consult Microsoft’s update catalog or the Insider blog for guidance on getting the specific KB package (note that Release Preview updates sometimes appear as optional installs before going broad). (pureinfotech.com)

Technical analysis: root causes and likely fixes​

The Windows Insider post provides concise symptom/fix descriptions, but it does not enumerate low-level root causes. However, the nature of the fixes allows reasonable inferences about what Microsoft changed:
  • The SIM PIN sign-in hang likely involved the sign-in UI code path that interacts with the WWAN modem driver stack or network authentication handshake. Fixes here often include better error handling for modem state transitions and stronger timeouts to prevent the UI thread from blocking on modem responses. Because SIM PIN processing is a hardware/firmware-and-OS interaction, driver-level or API-level race conditions are common culprits. (blogs.windows.com)
  • COSA updates are generally data/profile updates rather than code changes. Those are usually packaged as updated operator configuration blobs and allow Windows to present correct APN and network behaviors without deeper OS changes. Expect the fix to be a configuration refresh rather than a functional kernel patch. (blogs.windows.com)
  • The display kernel shutdown during RDP + docking disconnect suggests a race condition between display-device hotplug handling and remote desktop session state transitions. Kernel-mode display drivers and the display subsystem are sensitive to rapid topology changes; the update probably hardened the handling path or added guards against null pointers/state corruption when monitors vanish mid-stream. These sorts of fixes can be kernel driver or OS-display-subsystem updates. (blogs.windows.com)
  • IME rendering problems commonly stem from font fallback, glyph shaping, or buffer/truncation logic when fields impose limits. The fix could be in text rendering, IME composition handling, or form-control truncation logic. The explicit reference to Connection Manager Admin Kit suggests a specific app surface where the bug manifested and was reproducible. (blogs.windows.com)
  • Print Queue and service metadata fixes tend to be small code-path corrections or resource-handling improvements (null checks, more robust UI thread handling, or clearer service metadata registration on install). (blogs.windows.com)
Because Microsoft’s public post does not include stack traces or exact patch notes at the code level, these inferences should be seen as technically informed hypotheses rather than confirmed root-cause disclosures. The official kernel or driver-level changes are only verifiable through Microsoft’s deeper release documentation (which may appear later) or through reverse engineering; the Insider post intentionally keeps the explanation brief. Flagging this as an unverifiable low-level root cause is prudent until Microsoft publishes more granular engineering notes. (blogs.windows.com)

Broader context: servicing patterns and expectations​

Microsoft’s approach in 2025 has been to maintain multiple servicing streams simultaneously: the 23H2 baseline receives cumulative servicing through Release Preview and Stable channels; newer 24H2/25H2 code surfaces remain in Beta/Dev and the Canary pipeline. That means Release Preview builds like 22631.5982 represent the company’s effort to keep the current mainstream baseline stable while development continues elsewhere. For users who prioritize stability, Release Preview continues to be a sensible Insider lane because it delivers vetted quality updates earlier than in Stable, but with fewer experimental features. (blogs.windows.com)
Third-party outlets and update trackers routinely consolidate these Insider releases into public-facing update histories; their coverage confirms Microsoft’s pattern of incremental servicing for the 23H2 baseline. If your environment runs on 23H2 and you rely on the scenarios mentioned in the release note, this build is worth validating quickly. (pureinfotech.com)

Risks, caveats, and unanswered questions​

  • The Windows Insider post is authoritative for what Microsoft claims to have fixed, but it is intentionally succinct. Low-level root causes are not published — Microsoft’s standard practice is to keep bullet-point symptoms and fixes high-level for Release Preview posts. That means exact code-level changes and potential side effects are not publicly documented in this note. Treat such omissions as expected, not anomalous. (blogs.windows.com)
  • Because this is a Release Preview build, there is a non-zero chance the update could reveal new regressions on a small subset of hardware or driver stacks — particularly with display-driver and WWAN-modem interactions. Pilot testing on representative hardware (docks, multi-monitor arrays, WWAN-equipped laptops) is prudent before broad organizational rollout. (blogs.windows.com)
  • COSA updates sometimes interact with carrier-specific provisioning. If your organization uses managed eSIM or specialized operator provisioning, validate carrier behavior post-update. In rare cases, operator-side changes can interact unpredictably with local device configurations, so test roaming, APN handling, and any operator-locked features. (support.microsoft.com)
  • The lack of security-related notes in this KB means that, for organizations focused primarily on security hardening, this update alone is not a substitute for installing monthly security rollups. Continue to track Microsoft’s security bulletins and Patch Tuesday releases for CVE remediation and broader platform hardening. (learn.microsoft.com)

Actionable checklist (for IT teams and advanced users)​

  • Confirm whether any of the listed symptoms are occurring in your environment (SIM PIN sign-in hangs, docking/disconnect shutdowns during RDP, Chinese IME rendering, print queue crashes). If yes, prioritize pilot deployment. (blogs.windows.com)
  • Apply the update first to test devices that mirror affected workflows: WWAN-enabled laptops, multi-monitor docked systems, devices using shared printers, and machines with Chinese IME heavy usage. (blogs.windows.com)
  • Observe for new regressions for at least 48–72 hours in real-world use: monitor sign-in reliability, RDP session stability, printing workflows, and localized input. (blogs.windows.com)
  • If issues occur post-installation, collect logs and open a support case with Microsoft or use the Feedback Hub for Insiders. Include repro steps, driver versions, and any docking or modem firmware details. (blogs.windows.com)
  • If things look good in pilots, schedule the update into broader deployment rings according to your change-control policy. (blogs.windows.com)

Final assessment​

Windows 11 Build 22631.5982 (KB5065790) is a typical Release Preview cumulative update: narrowly scoped, pragmatic, and targeted at tangible reliability issues that affect real-world workflows. It does not alter platform direction or introduce new consumer-facing features; instead, it reduces friction for mobile sign-ins, RDP/dock sessions, Chinese input fidelity, printing, and system metadata. For Insiders and admins who operate in the affected areas, this update is a welcome and necessary maintenance release.
While the release note is concise and authoritative, it leaves low-level technical details opaque — a normal pattern for cumulative servicing posts. Organizations should pilot this update where the flagged issues affect operations, validate their critical workflows, and then consider broader deployment once telemetry is satisfactory. For the vast majority of users, the update’s fixes will be unobtrusive but useful, quietly reducing support cases and improving everyday reliability. (blogs.windows.com)

Microsoft has quietly shipped a targeted update for Windows 11 that fixes a handful of real-world reliability problems—most notably a sign-in hang tied to SIM PIN entry—delivered as KB5065790 (Build 22631.5982) to Windows Insiders in the Release Preview channel. This is a concise, service-focused cumulative update rather than a feature release: it corrects several narrowly scoped but impactful issues across sign‑in, display/RDP, input (IME), printing, and a small system‑service metadata problem. For mobile and enterprise users who rely on WWAN/eSIM, multi‑monitor docking and RDP workflows, or East Asian input methods, the changes in this build materially reduce friction encountered in daily operations.

Windows servicing in 2025 continues to use parallel build families: the 22621 family (feature-off) and the 22631 family (feature-on). Release Preview flights such as Build 22631.5982 act as the proving ground for cumulative quality fixes that will often roll into broader monthly updates after validation. Unlike Patch Tuesday security rollups, these Release Preview updates are usually meant to address functional regressions and stability gaps that surfaced in the field or were reported by Insiders.
This particular LCU (Latest Cumulative Update) focuses on practical reliability issues rather than adding consumer-facing features. The list of corrections is deliberately compact and aimed at high-impact scenarios: cellular authentication workflows, carrier/operator profile updates, multi-monitor Remote Desktop display stability during docking/disconnect events, Chinese IME rendering glitches, shared-printer queue crashes when viewed in Settings, and a minor system service metadata correction.

What KB5065790 (Build 22631.5982) fixes​

The fixes shipped in this build are small in number but high in importance for the right users. Each item below explains the symptom, why it matters, and the expected improvement after installing the update.

1. Sign‑in hang after SIM PIN entry (authentication)​

  • Symptom: On devices with mobile broadband (WWAN) or when using an embedded modem/eSIM, the Windows sign‑in screen could stop responding after the user enters the device’s SIM PIN during sign‑in.
  • Why it matters: Laptops and tablets that authenticate while a cellular modem is active—or field devices reliant on WWAN—can be effectively locked out if the sign‑in UI becomes unresponsive. This impacts remote workers, first‑responder devices, and employees who rely on mobile connectivity.
  • Resolution: The update corrects the handling path so the sign‑in flow continues normally after SIM PIN entry, restoring reliable access for affected devices.

2. Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA) / operator profile updates​

  • Symptom: Mobile operator provisioning and carrier profile behaviors can be out of date or mismatched in certain scenarios.
  • Why it matters: Carrier profile updates are essential for correct APN, roaming, and eSIM behavior. Incorrect operator profiles can cause connectivity anomalies, provisioning failures, or unexpected roaming charges.
  • Resolution: The build includes updated operator profile assets so devices will have more current configuration information for certain carriers; this helps improve mobile network reliability and eSIM behavior in affected geographies or operator environments.

3. Remote Desktop / display kernel crash when disconnecting a dock​

  • Symptom: Under certain multi‑monitor or docking scenarios—specifically when disconnecting from a docking station during an RDP/streaming session—systems could crash or experience an unexpected shutdown related to display configuration changes.
  • Why it matters: Docking workflows are common in enterprise and hybrid work environments. A crash during disconnect can interrupt work, risk data loss, and complicate remote session management.
  • Resolution: The update adjusts display‑driver handling during RDP and dock disconnect events to prevent the crash, improving stability for multi‑monitor, docked RDP users.

4. Chinese IME rendering errors (empty boxes)​

  • Symptom: Some Chinese characters could appear as empty boxes (tofu glyphs) in specific text fields or when character limits were imposed, making input unreadable and unusable in affected scenarios.
  • Why it matters: IME reliability and correct glyph rendering are critical for productivity in CJK languages. When characters render as empty boxes, users cannot verify what they typed and may make repeated submissions or file incorrect data.
  • Resolution: The build fixes the rendering path so affected Chinese characters display correctly in the scenarios called out, improving input fidelity for Chinese IME users.

5. Print queue UI crash when viewing shared printers​

  • Symptom: Viewing a shared printer queue in Settings could cause the Print Queue UI to stop working or crash.
  • Why it matters: Shared printing is still common in offices and small businesses; broken queue UIs frustrate users and create simple help‑desk tickets that consume time.
  • Resolution: The update prevents the crash when inspecting shared printer queues, restoring reliable printing workflows.

6. McpManagement service metadata fix​

  • Symptom: One system service (McpManagement) was listed without a description in its service metadata, a small quality/telemetry tidbit.
  • Why it matters: While not user‑facing, correct service metadata helps diagnostics, vendor support, and consistent administrative tooling displays.
  • Resolution: The entry was corrected so the service metadata now contains the expected description.

Why these fixes matter — practical impact and who should care​

  • Mobile-first workers and field devices: The SIM PIN sign‑in hang and COSA operator changes directly affect laptops and tablets with WWAN/eSIM. If your fleet includes WWAN-enabled devices, this update is high priority for pilot testing.
  • Hybrid office users with docking stations: Organizations that rely on docking workflows, hot‑docking, and multi‑monitor RDP sessions will see fewer session drops and crashes.
  • International or multilingual deployments: Enterprises that support employees using Chinese IME input or that operate in regions with heavy CJK language usage should test this build to ensure input fidelity is restored.
  • Small offices and shared resources: Shared printers and their management UIs are common helpdesk flashpoints; fixing the queue UI crash reduces friction for users and support staff.
  • IT and support teams: The McpManagement metadata correction and operator profile updates improve diagnostics and provisioning — small but useful housekeeping items for admin workflows.

Deployment guidance and best practices for IT teams​

This build is in the Release Preview channel and is therefore an optional/preview cumulative update intended for validation before broader production deployment. Use standard change-control discipline: pilot, measure, expand.

Quick pre-deployment checklist​

  • Inventory: Identify devices that match the affected scenarios:
  • WWAN/eSIM-enabled laptops and tablets
  • Devices that regularly use docking stations and multi‑monitor setups
  • Systems used by staff who rely on Chinese IMEs
  • Machines that manage or rely on shared printers
  • Backups and restore points: Require a Windows system restore point or image for test devices before applying any preview update.
  • Monitoring: Ensure Intune/MDM/endpoint telemetry is capturing sign‑in failures, RDP crash telemetry, and print queue errors so you can measure impact.
  • Communication: Inform pilot group users of the expected improvements and ask them to report any regressions quickly.

Recommended pilot rollout plan​

  • Stage 0 — Lab verification:
  • Apply the update to a small set of lab devices representative of the fleet (WWAN devices, docked machines, language packs).
  • Validate SIM PIN sign‑in, eSIM provisioning, RDP/dock disconnect behavior, and IME rendering in real workflows.
  • Stage 1 — Controlled pilot (10–20 devices):
  • Deploy to a small user group in production that mirrors the above scenarios.
  • Monitor for 48–72 hours for new telemetry or error spikes.
  • Stage 2 — Broad pilot (100–500 devices):
  • Expand to a larger set of devices across locations and carriers.
  • Continue to monitor and collect logs for anomalies.
  • Stage 3 — Organization‑wide rollout:
  • If the pilot is clean, schedule a wider deployment during a maintenance window with rollback plans.

What to test specifically​

  • Sign-in flow with SIM PIN on devices across multiple carriers and with physical WWAN modems and eSIM profiles.
  • RDP sessions with active multi‑monitor setups and docking/undocking sequences, including streaming and active video.
  • IME usage: ensure users can input, see, and confirm Chinese characters in apps, UIs with character limits, and in web forms.
  • Shared printer queue review: open queues through Settings on both client and admin machines.
  • Application and driver compatibility: check display drivers, USB hub drivers, and any WWAN vendor software/firmware.

Risks, caveats and what the release notes do not say​

  • Narrow public notes, limited low‑level detail: As with most cumulative servicing posts, Microsoft provides symptom/fix bullet points without exposing the low‑level root cause or the exact code paths changed. Treat that as normal: the notes describe outcomes, not the internal patch diff.
  • Possible regressions in edge driver stacks: Any fix that touches display‑related code or WWAN/operator profiles has a non‑zero chance of exposing new regressions on certain hardware/driver stacks, especially older display drivers or third‑party docking firmware.
  • Carrier/operator interactions: COSA updates that change operator provisioning can occasionally interact unpredictably with operator‑side provisioning servers. If you manage eSIM profiles centrally or use operator‑managed devices, validate roaming and operator‑specific features post‑install.
  • Release Preview semantics: This build is distributed through Release Preview for validation. It is not a mandatory security patch, so devices on standard production servicing may not receive it until Microsoft rolls the fix into a Patch Tuesday cumulative update. If a fix is urgent for your environment, consider controlled opt‑in for Release Preview or await the broader monthly rollup depending on risk tolerance.
  • Rollback considerations: If this build is packaged purely as an LCU, removal is possible via DISM/wusa uninstall commands in many cases (uninstalling the LCU). However, combined packages that include servicing‑stack updates (SSUs) are sometimes non‑removable; always verify the exact package composition before planning rollback as the SSU component can be persistent. Keep system images and recovery options ready.
Cautionary note: because Microsoft’s public release summaries intentionally avoid low‑level implementation details, any statements about exact code paths, driver APIs changed, or firmware-level impacts should be considered unverified unless supported by deeper Microsoft KB entries or support responses.

How this fits into the wider Windows servicing picture​

Microsoft uses Release Preview to validate targeted fixes against the broader hardware and telemetry mix before pulling them into mainstream monthly updates. That means:
  • If KB5065790 is clean in Release Preview telemetry, the contained fixes are likely to appear in a future public cumulative update on Patch Tuesday.
  • Conversely, if Insiders identify regressions, Microsoft will either pull back the change or release a follow‑up to address any new problems.
For organizations balancing stability and responsiveness, the typical approach is to pilot Release Preview updates for targeted problem remediation (for example, if you’re seeing the SIM PIN sign‑in hang in the wild) and otherwise rely on monthly cumulative updates for standard security and reliability hardening.

Actionable checklist — step by step​

  • Identify affected population: filter devices for WWAN/eSIM, docking usage, Chinese IME heavy users, and shared printer usage.
  • Prepare test images and backups: capture a system image or create restore points for test devices.
  • Apply KB5065790 to a small lab cohort (Release Preview opt‑in or manual install).
  • Execute the targeted test plan (SIM PIN sign‑in, RDP dock disconnects, IME rendering, shared printer queue).
  • Monitor logs and telemetry for 72 hours: sign‑in failures, crash dumps, RDP disconnect counts, print queue errors.
  • If green, expand pilot; if red, capture logs and file a support case/Feedback Hub entry with repro steps and driver/firmware details.
  • Schedule organization deployment following normal maintenance windows if pilot shows improvement.

Final assessment and recommendation​

KB5065790 (Build 22631.5982) is a classic, pragmatic quality update: small in scope but high in practical value where the addressed issues are present. The SIM PIN sign‑in hang fix alone makes this update important for mobile‑first deployments and WWAN/eSIM devices. The RDP/docking stability and IME rendering corrections reduce friction for hybrid workers and multilingual users. For most users with no exposure to these scenarios, the update is quiet and unobtrusive; for those who are affected, the build provides tangible, immediate benefit.
Recommendation summary:
  • Mobile‑first fleets and WWAN/eSIM devices: Pilot and deploy KB5065790 as soon as possible in a controlled manner.
  • Environments with widespread docking + RDP usage: Pilot on docked devices; monitor display driver interactions.
  • Organizations that do not see the listed symptoms: consider waiting for the changes to appear in the next public monthly cumulative update to minimize exposure to preview‑channel regressions.
  • Always: test with representative hardware, stage rollout, and retain rollback and diagnostic plans.
This update demonstrates Microsoft’s ongoing approach to incremental servicing—fixing targeted reliability problems as they are found in the wild—while balancing the tradeoffs that preview channel validation requires. For administrators and advanced users who rely on the exact workflows addressed, KB5065790 is a meaningful quality release worth validating quickly.
