Addresses an issue that prevents the ShellHWDetection service from starting on a Privileged Access Workstation (PAW) device and prevents you from managing BitLocker drive encryption.

Known issues in this update

Workaround |
---|---|
After installing this update, devices which attempt to connect to a network printer for the first time might fail to download and install the necessary printer drivers. Devices which had connected to and installed the printer prior to the installation of KB5005575 are unaffected and operations to that printer will succeed as usual. This issue has been observed in devices which access printers via a print server using HTTP connections. When a client connects to the server to install the printer, a directory mismatch occurs, which causes the installer files to generate incorrectly. As a result, the drivers may not download. Note The printer connection methods described in this issue are not commonly used by devices designed for home use. Printing environments affected by this issue are more commonly found in enterprises and organizations. |
This issue was resolved in KB5005619. |

Devices which had connected to and installed the printer prior to the installation of KB5005575 are unaffected and print operations to that printer will succeed as usual. Note IPP is not commonly used by devices designed for home use. The printing environments affected by this issue are more commonly found in enterprises and organizations. |
This issue is resolved in KB5006745. |
You might receive a prompt for administrative credentials every time you attempt to print in environments in which the print server and print client are in different times zones.

The printing environments affected by this issue are more commonly found in enterprises and organizations. |
This issue is resolved in KB5006745. |
