The optional KB5007262 Preview cumulative update for Windows 11 was recently issued by the Redmond-based tech corporation, and it includes 70 fixes and enhancements.

This Windows 11 upgrade is part of Microsoft’s monthly C update for November 2021, giving customers to preview anticipated software changes in the December 2021 Patch Tuesday.

So let’s get started and see what Redmond authorities have planned for us in this press release.

This cumulative update contains over 70 fixes.

These preview updates, unlike those provided on Patch Tuesday, do not include security enhancements and instead focus on bug fixes and speed improvements.

As a result, Windows 11 has passed a new milestone in its development, with version 22000.348.

There will be no preview release, often known as a C release, for the month of December 2021 due to reduced activities around the holidays and the impending Western new year.

Next month, however, there will be a monthly security release, referred to as a B release. In January 2022, normal monthly service for both B and C releases will resume.

Highlights

Let’s take a brief look at the general enhancements and improvements made to the most recent operating system before moving on to the service section.

Microsoft is introducing the following via KB5007262:

• Fixes an issue that causes Internet Explorer to crash when you copy and paste text in the Input Method Editor (IME).
• Fixes an issue where the iFLY Simplified Chinese IME symbol in the notification area has the wrong backdrop.
