When you install this KB: This update affects the ms-appinstaller URI. It now works with the DesktopAppInstaller policy. The update addresses an issue that affects the Remote Procedure Call Service (rpcss.exe). The issue might cause a race condition between the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) and the Microsoft Remote Procedure Call (RPC) endpoint mapper. This update addresses an issue that affects the Microsoft HTML Application Host (HTA). This issue blocks code execution that uses Microsoft HTA. This occurs when you turn on Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) User Mode Code Integrity (UMCI) enforced mode. This update addresses an issue that affects Desired State Configuration. It loses its previously configured options. This occurs if metaconfig.mof is missing. This update addresses compatibility issues that affect some printers. These printers use Windows Graphical Device Interface (GDI) printer drivers. These drivers do not completely adhere to GDI specifications. This update addresses an issue that affects the Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) certificate. The system reports some SCEP certificate installations as failed. Instead, the system should report them as pending. This update addresses an issue that affects the Fast Identity Online 2.0 (FIDO2) PIN credential icon. It does not appear on the credentials screen of an external monitor. This occurs when that monitor is attached to a closed laptop. This update affects applications that use the Windows UI Library in the Windows App SDK (WinUI 3). It makes printing for them possible on Windows 10 devices. This update addresses an issue that affects the SharedPC account manager. It cannot delete multiple accounts during cleanup. This update addresses an issue that might affect lsass.exe. It might stop responding. This occurs when it sends a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) query to a domain controller that has a very large LDAP filter. The KB5023773 cumulative update preview is part of Microsoft's March 2023 monthly "C" update, allowing admins to test upcoming fixes released in the April 2023 Patch Tuesday. Unlike Patch Tuesday cumulative updates, the "C" preview updates are optional and do not include security updates. Windows users can install this update by going into Settings, clicking on Windows Update, and manually performing a 'Check for Updates.' As this is an optional update, you will be asked whether you wish to install it by clicking the 'Download and install' link. After installing this update, Windows 10 20H2 will be updated to build 19042.2788, Windows 10 21H2 will be updated to build 19044.2788, and Windows 10 22H2 will be updated to build 19045.2788. Windows 10 users can also manually download and install the KB5023773 preview update from the Microsoft Update Catalog. Microsoft is warning that after this March 21st release, there will be no more optional, non-security preview updates for Windows 10 20H2 and 21H2. For Windows 10 users who wish to continue receiving preview updates, you must upgrade to Windows 10 10 22H2. The release notes also shared that optional, non-security preview updates will now be released on the fourth Tuesday of the month, making it easier for admins to plan their update cycles. #WindowsInsider #KB5023773 #windows10 #windows11 #windows10 #windowsupdate #windows11updates #googlechrome #bravebrowser #microsoftedge #mozillafirefox #vivaldibrowser #powertoys #howtowindows #speedupwindows #googleapps #linux #brentech #wheretechismadesimple #KB5023775 #KB5023773 #KB5023778 #windows10 #kb5023773 #Windows11 #kb5023706 #kb5023778 #22H2 #21H2 #windows11 #KB5023706 #KB5023698 #Windows11 #22h2 #kb5023698 #Windows11Update
