We fixed an issue that prevented some modern apps from opening.
We fixed an issue that affected some company-managed devices. This improved the reliability of app installation on these devices.
We fixed an issue that caused Daylight Saving Time (DST) to not work correctly in the Republic of Fiji.
We fixed an issue that affected Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) authentication hardening. The authentication level is automatically raised for all non-anonymous activation requests from DCOM clients to RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_PKT_INTEGRITY. This happens if the authentication level is below Packet Integrity.
Addresses an issue that affects Unified Update Platform (UUP) enterprise clients. Because of it, the system could not receive offline language packs.
Fixed an issue affecting process creation. It caused the system to fail to generate security audits and other related events for the process.

We fixed an issue that caused some applications to crash when using a keyboard shortcut to change the input mode for the Japanese Input Method Editor (IME).

Added .wcx to the list of dangerous extensions that are not allowed by some application control policies.
We fixed an issue that affected Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. Automatic scanning blocked the real-time scanning job.
