14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has just released a new Windows 11 cumulative update as part of the September 2022 Patch Tuesday cycle.
This time, the update that is provided to Windows 11 devices is KB5017328, and just as expected, its main purpose is to resolve security vulnerabilities in the operating system.
However, in addition to security patches, this update also comes with a fix specifically aimed at Microsoft accounts, as the company itself explains in the official KB documentation.
“Addresses a known issue that affects Microsoft accounts (MSA). The web dialog that you use to sign in or sign out might not appear. This issue occurs on devices that have installed KB5016691,” the software giant explains.
Known issues in this update
The update comes with two known issues, one of which affects the XPS Viewer app – this isn’t installed by default on Windows 10 version 1803 and newer, so only few devices are affected.
However, Microsoft also warns of new time changes for users in Chile, and unless a workaround is being used, Windows and some apps might display incorrect time information.
“Starting at 12:00 A.M. Saturday, September 10, 2022, the official time in Chile will advance 60 minutes in accordance with the August 9, 2022 official announcement by the Chilean government about a daylight saving time (DST) time zone change. This moves the DST change which was previously September 4 to September 10,” Microsoft explains.
Worth knowing is that the same bug could also affect devices that aren’t located in Chile but which connect to servers in the country.
“Windows devices and apps outside of Chile might also be affected if they are connecting to servers or devices in Chile or if they are scheduling or attending meetings taking place in Chile from another location or time zone. Windows devices outside of Chile should not use the workaround, as it would change their local time on the device,” Microsoft explains.
