Love the way they put that at the bottom.

This also fixes WMR/VR performance issues due to the addressed bug, by the way.

And this update broke the custom color mode in the task manager. 🙄

Did this only affect 11 22H2? What about 10 22H2? Was that only with WMR? I'm not aware if SteamVR, Oculus, or any 3rd-party streamers were affected.
the affected ETW provider didn't get ported back to windows 10 22000

I'm not sure, it due to the Event Tracing bug, which affected anything that utilized the provider. WMR's HolographicShell process was affected, but so were others.

Beware, this update wiped out all of my pinned start menu items and replaced them with the garbage you usually get with a fresh install. Also reinstalled all the junk apps i had already uninstalled. Note: I got mine from Windows Update itself, not through the provided download link.

Still waiting for the update which allows for the ability to disable taskbar grouping and enable small taskbar, without the need of a thirdparty app. Once that happens i'll move to 11.

I said it happened to me. Just because it didn't happen to you doesn't mean it didn't happen. Word your reply better.

Yes it did, you may want to realize there's more than 1 PC config out in the wild.

no it didn't, and it can be proven that "no it didn't" because the pinned items are retained in a unique binary in the User profile @ %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations and %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\start.bin , which isn't touched at all by the MSU deployment for this, or any other windows update. What can happen, and does occasionally is the affiliated binary file sporadically corrupts on termination of the Explorer/Startmenu shell process, which has occurred going back to vista days on the pinned jumplists

7 months later to again personal attack because you experienced a known anomalous behavior in the windows shell and were proven wrong about it being caused by the cumulative update.
