TapTechNews Jun 27th news, yesterday Microsoft released Windows 11 Optional Update KB5039302. After 22H2 users install it, the version number rises to Build 22621.3810; after 23H2 users install it, the version number rises to Build 22631.3810.
This update brings a large number of new functions, but also introduces some new bugs. Microsoft just updated the list of known issues and confirmed that KB5039302 may cause some devices may not be able to start, mainly manifested as repeated restarts.
But the good news is that Windows Home Edition users are almost unlikely to encounter this problem, because this bug mainly occurs in the virtualization environment.
Microsoft said that this problem is more likely to affect devices using virtual machine tools and nested virtualization functions (such as CloudPC, DevBox, Azure Virtual Desktop). The relevant team is investigating to determine the exact conditions that this problem may trigger and will provide an update in the upcoming release.
