Microsoft has addressed a newly acknowledged known issue that caused flickering screen problems and made some Windows apps seem unstable in Safe Mode without Networking.
"Devices experiencing this issue can log a System error on the Windows Event Log, with Source 'Winlogon' and the following description: 'The shell stopped unexpectedly and explorer.exe was restarted'," Microsoft explained.
Microsoft addressed the issue using Known Issue Rollback, a Windows capability that allows reverting problematic non-security fixes delivered via Windows Update.
Windows admins can resolve this Windows 11 Safe Mode issue for affected enterprise-managed devices by installing and configuring the following KIR Group Policy.
The step-by-step procedure you have to go through to configure the policies is available in the Windows Health dashboard.
Last month, Microsoft also resolved an issue causing WebView2-based Windows apps to render Internet content outside their windows after installing the March 2022 optional preview cumulative updates.
