14 DAY TRIAL // The rollout of Windows 11 continues, but in the meantime, Microsoft is also focusing on improving the issues and performance problems it finds in the operating system.
This way, everybody can be provided with a more polished experience, and as usual, Patch Tuesday plays a key role in this regard, especially from a security perspective.
This month’s patching cycle has therefore brought a new update for Windows 11 devices, this time increasing the OS build number to 22000.318.
The new update is KB5007215, and it can be downloaded right now as an automatic update from Windows Update or manually from the Microsoft Update Catalog.
What’s new in this cumulative update
Given it’s a Patch Tuesday release, this new update is specifically focused on security improvements, though at the same time, you shouldn’t be too surprised if more problems under the hood have also been refined.
The changelog, however, points to a single bugfix:
“Addresses an issue in which certain apps might have unexpected results when rendering some user interface elements or when drawing within the app. You might encounter this issue with apps that use GDI+ and set a zero (0) width pen object on displays with high dots per inch (DPI) or resolution, or if the app is using scaling.”
There’s also a servicing stack update for Windows 11, and as usual, it improves the Windows Update servicing stack to make sure everything runs smoothly whenever new patches are live.
“This update makes quality improvements to the servicing stack, which is the component that installs Windows updates. Servicing stack updates (SSU) ensure that you have a robust and reliable servicing stack so that your devices can receive and install Microsoft updates,” Microsoft says about the Windows 11 servicing stack update that increases the version to 22000.280.
