Devices might boot into BitLocker recovery with the July 2024 security update

After installing the July 2024 Windows security update, released July 9, 2024 (KB5040427), you might see a BitLocker recovery screen upon booting your device. This screen does not commonly appear after a Windows update. You are more likely to face this issue if you have the Device Encryption option enabled in Settings under Privacy & Security -> Device encryption. Resulting from this issue, you might be prompted to enter the recovery key from your Microsoft account to unlock your drive.

Resolution: This issue was resolved by Windows updates released August 13, 2024 (KB5041580), and later. We recommend you install the latest update for your device as it contains important improvements and issue resolutions, including this one.

If you install an update released August 13, 2024 (KB5041580) or later, you do not need to use a workaround for this issue. If you are using an update released before August 13, 2024, and have this issue, your device should proceed to start up normally from the BitLocker recovery screen once the recovery key has been entered. You can retrieve the recovery key by logging into the BitLocker recovery screen portal with your Microsoft account. Detailed steps for finding the recovery key are listed here: Finding your BitLocker recovery key in Windows.

June 2024

Apps show "Open With" dialog when right-clicking on Taskbar or Start menu icons

Following installation of the Windows update released April 23, 2024 (KB5036979)and updates released after that, certain apps might display an "Open With" dialog box asking, "How do you want to open this file?". You might experience this issue when you place your mouse on an app icon shown in your Taskbar or Start menu and right-click on the app to execute a task in that app. Resulting from this, you might see the “Open With” dialog box instead of the execution of the selected task.

This issue was reported by Teams, new Outlook for Windows, and Snip & Sketch users. This issue can also affect other applications attempting to right-click on its icon to find a context menu with a list of tasks.

Workaround: Although the "Open With" dialog prevents the use of the tasks available from the right-click context menu, it's likely that those same operations can be performed by making the application interface visible, and navigating the application interface and menus.

Resolution: This issue was resolved in updates released June 25, 2024 (KB5039299) and later. We recommend you install the latest security update for your device. It contains important improvements and issue resolutions, including this one.

Affected platforms:

• ​Client: Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10, version 21H2

April 2024

Enterprise customers might be unable to use Microsoft Connected Cache

After installing the February 2024 Windows security update (KB5034203), released February 13, 2024, or later updates, some Windows devices which use the DHCP Option 235 for discovery of Microsoft Connected Cache (MCC) nodes in their network might be unable to use the MCC nodes. Instead, these Windows devices will download updates and apps from the public internet and IT administrators would see increased download traffic on their internet routes.

Home users of Windows are unlikely to experience this issue, as Microsoft Connected Cache configured via DHCP Option 235 is more commonly used in enterprise environments.

Workaround:

1. ​Option1: Configure Microsoft Connected Cache endpoint in DOCacheHost policy as indicated in Cache hostname. Additionally, DOCacheHostSource has to be set to 1 or removed as indicated in Cache hostname source. Note that by default, the DOCacheHost and DOCacheHostSource policies have no value.
2. ​Option2: This issue can also be mitigated using Group Policies available through our support channel. Organizations can request help through Support for business.

Resolution: This issue was resolved by Windows updates released July 23, 2024 (KB5040525), and later. We recommend you install the latest security update for your device. It contains important improvements and issue resolutions, including this one.

Affected platforms:

• ​Client: Windows 10, version 21H2, Windows 10, version 22H2

Edge updates might cause Microsoft Copilot app to show up in Installed apps

Updates to Edge browser version 123.0.2420.65, released on March 28, 2024, and later, might incorrectly install a new package (MSIX) called ‘Microsoft chat provider for Copilot in Windows’ on Windows devices. Resulting from this, the Microsoft Copilot app might appear in the Installed apps in Settings menu.

It is important to note that the Microsoft chat provider for Copilot in Windows does not execute any code or process, and does not acquire, analyze, or transmit device or environment data in any capacity.

This package was intended to prepare some Windows devices for future Windows Copilot enablement and was not intended for all devices. Although the component installed as part of this issue can cause the Microsoft Copilot app to be shown as part of the Installed apps, this component does not fully install or enable Microsoft Copilot.

Note: Edge browser version 124.0.2478.51, released on April 18, 2024, contains a change by which the chat provider for Copilot in Windows will not continue to be installed on every device.

Resolution: This issue is now resolved with Edge browser updates released on April 26, 2024, and June 13, 2024. Edge version 124.0.2478.67 was released on April 26 and removed the package ‘Microsoft chat provider for Copilot in Windows’ from all servers affected by this issue. Edge version 126.0.2592.56 was released on June 13, 2024, and removed the same package from all Windows client versions affected by this issue. The ‘Microsoft Copilot’ entry will not show in the Installed apps list in the Settings menu once the Edge browser is updated.

Affected platforms:

Client: Windows 11, version 23H2, Windows 11, version 22H2, Windows 11, version 21H2, Windows 10, version 22H2

Server: Windows Server 2022

January 2024

The January 2024 Windows RE update might fail to install

Devices attempting to install the January 2024 Windows Recovery Environment update (KB5034441) might display an error related to the size of the Recovery Environment's partition. The Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) is used to repair or recover from issues affecting Windows.

Resulting from this error, the following message might be displayed.

• ​"0x80070643 - ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE"

Important: If your Windows device does not have a recovery environment configured, you do not need this update (KB5034441). In this case, the error can be ignored.

To determine whether your device has a recovery environment configured, inspect the WinRE status by following these steps:

1. ​Open a Command Prompt window (cmd) as admin.
2. ​To check the WinRE status, run reagentc /info. If the WinRE is configured, a "Windows RE status" field will appear in the output, with value "Enabled". If WinRE is not configured, this field will have the value "Disabled".

Resolution: Automatic resolution of this issue won't be available in a future Windows update. Manual steps are necessary to complete the installation of this update on devices which are experiencing this error.

The WinRE partition requires 250 megabytes of free space. Devices which do not have sufficient free space will need to increase the size of the partition via manual action. For guidance on making this change, review the following resources:

• ​A code script can be used to extend the partition size. A sample script has been provided in the documentation for adding an update package to WinRE. See Extend the Windows RE Partition.
• ​Guidance to manually change the WinRE partition size can additionally be found in KB5028997: Instructions to manually resize your partition to install the WinRE update.

Completion of these manual steps will allow the installation of this update to succeed.

Affected platforms:

• ​Client: Windows 11, version 21H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10, version 21H2
• ​Server: Windows Server 2022

December 2023

Printer names and icons might be changed and HP Smart app automatically installs

Some issues related to printer configurations are being observed on Windows devices. Microsoft is investigating this issue and coordinating with partners on a solution.

Symptoms can include the following:

1. ​​Some Windows devices are installing the HP Smart app.
2. ​​Printers may show LaserJet M101-M106 model information regardless of their manufacturer. Printer icons might also be changed.
3. ​Double clicking on a printer displays the on-screen error "No tasks are available for this page".

Note: Our investigations indicate that this issue is not caused by an HP update. In most cases, it should be possible to use the printer as expected, including queueing printing jobs, as well as other features such as copy, scan, or fax. Printers on the device will continue to use the expected drivers for printer operations. However, this issue might affect associations with other manufacturer-supplied printer apps used to extend basic printer capabilities. If this is the case, some or all of those extended functions might not work.

Resolution: You can resolve this issue by downloading and executing one of the files listed in the article KB5034510 Printer Metadata Remediation Tool – December 2023. In addition to this tool, a critical troubleshooter is being gradually rolled out to all affected Home and non-managed business devices.

1. ​Open the "Windows Region" settings. This can be done in one of the following ways:
   1. ​Open "Control Panel" from the start menu and select "Change date, time, or number formats" under "Clock and Region"
   2. ​On your keyboard, press and hold the Windows key, then press the letter R. This will open the "Run" window. Type INTL.CPL into the Open field,
2. ​In the Region settings, choose one of the 2 locales for Croatia:
   1. ​Croatian (Bosnia & Herzegovina)
   2. ​Croatian (Croatia)
3. ​In this same window, click the "Additional settings" button. Once there, click the "Currency" tab.
4. ​Change the currency symbol from "KN" to Euro, "€"

Additional information can be seen here: Currency formatting - Globalization | Microsoft Learn.

Manually changing currency might also be an option in some applications.
