Releasing Windows 10 Build 19045.6029 to the Release Preview Channel

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 10 22H2 Build 19045.6029 (KB5061087) to the Release Preview Channel for Insiders who are on Windows 10, version 22H2.

This update includes the following features and improvements (items bolded in brackets indicate the area of the change being documented):

• [Mobile Operator Profiles] Updated: Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA) profiles.
• [App Platforms and Frameworks]
  • Fixed: An issue affecting Component Object Model (COM) functionality on Windows platforms, where remote COM activations were failing with error 0x8001011.
  • Upgraded the version of the curl tool included in Windows to v8.13.0.
• App defaults] New! We are rolling out some small changes in the EEA region for default browsers via the Set default button in Settings > Apps > Default apps:
  • Additional file and link types will be set for the new default browser, if it registers them.
  • The new default browser will be pinned to the Taskbar and Start menu unless you choose not to pin it by clearing the checkboxes.
  • There is now a separate one-click button for browsers to change your .pdf default, if the browser registers for the .pdf file type.
• [Authentication Platform] Fixed: An issue affecting the device registration in Entra ID Windows Account Manager (WAM) plugin.
• [Input and Composition] Fixed: An issue affecting the complete removal of unused language packs and Feature on Demand (FOD) packages. This led to unnecessary storage use and increase in Windows Update installation time.
• [Print and Peripherals] Fixed: An issue affecting USB-connected Multi-Function printers with dual protocol interfaces, where scanning may fail and prevent use of the OS’s built-in scanning functionality.
• [Start Menu]
  • Fixed: An issue causing jump lists to disappear from the Start Menu.
  • Fixed: An issue where the Start Menu was not starting after installing an update.
• [Settings] Fixed: Settings > System > About unexpectedly shows version 2009 instead of version 22H2.
• [Servicing] Fixed: An issue where Kiosk devices using the ForceAutoLogon configuration and Shift Override might stop responding with a blue screen after being locked and unlocked by support administrators.
• [File Server] Fixed: An issue where the system may hang when acknowledging an Oplock break on resources located on SMB shares.
