Expired security certificate disables some functionalities of Windows 11

Users of Windows 11 have been informed by Microsoft that certain features would no longer work after the upgrade. Examples of features that aren't available include on-screen keyboards and emojis. Due to the expiration of a certificate on October 31st.

Meanwhile, a patch has been published that may address some of the issues we've been experiencing. However, because it is still in beta, it must be downloaded one at a time. The on-screen keyboard, voice input, and emoji keyboard can all be used again after applying the patch. When it comes to taking and editing screenshots with the Snipping Tool in Windows 11, the latest patch hasn't helped. Taking a detour is recommended by Microsoft.

"Use the Print Screen key on your keyboard and paste the screenshot into your document. You can also paste the screenshot into Paint to select and copy the desired part."

We're working on a solution for the remaining concerns, Microsoft has said.

This open beta isn't going well.

As for the Snipping Tool, there is a workaround to make it work if KB5008295 doesn't fix it.

Open Settings
Go down to Time & language
Select Date & time
Disable Set time automatically
Click on Change for Set the date and time manually
Set the date before 15. Oktober 2021
Open Snipping Tool
Use the key combination Windows+Shift+S
Should work as usual now, so close the Snipping Tool
Enable Set time automatically (Date and time should be set back to current after this step is done)
Done, Snipping Tool should now work again

According to MS, the Windows 11 update should fix it though?
No known issues are listed in the notes.

Is this why Intel DSA is acting up with the latest version, both my laptop and desktop suffer from the same issue of DSA not working anymore with Windows 11 Pro.
