Microsoft has addressed a known issue causing intermittent failures when saving and copying files on Windows 11 22H2 devices.
Microsoft says Windows devices are at a higher risk of being affected by this particular issue when using specific commercial or enterprise security software that utilizes extended file attributes.
Microsoft has addressed this issue with the KB5027231 Windows 11 cumulative update released today as part of this month's Patch Tuesday.
"This update addresses a known issue that affects 32-bit apps that are large address aware and use the CopyFile API. You might have issues when you save, copy, or attach files," Microsoft said today.
The company fixed the issue on Windows 10 and Windows 11 21H2 three weeks ago via Known Issue Rollback, a Windows capability that reverts buggy non-security fixes pushed through Windows Update.
To deploy the Known Issue Rollback, you have to go to the Local Computer Policy or the Domain policy on your domain controller using the Group Policy Editor to select the Windows version you want to target.
