What’s New in Windows 11 Build 22631.5696
- Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA): This update includes an upgrade to profiles for various mobile operators, ensuring improved compatibility and performance.
- File Systems
- Fixed an issue in the Resilient File System (ReFS) that could lead to complete system memory exhaustion when utilizing backup applications on large files.
- Resolved an error that emerged during the search for PDF files in shared folders, where users encountered misleading messages such as “No More Files” or “STATUS_NO_MORE_FILES.” These errors affected the virtual PDF printer performance and backup processes.

- Printer Improvements: Printer names are now displayed more distinctly during IPP Directed Discovery, facilitating easier identification during the setup process.

Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that Microsoft has begun testing Windows 11 version 25H2 in the Dev Channel, while the Beta Channel continues to operate on version 24H2, and the Release Preview is available on both 23H2 and 24H2 versions.
