What are the improvements and fixes of KB5009566 for Windows 11?
The KB5009566 SSU mainly addresses security issues but it also fixes a problem with the Japanese Input Method Editors (IME).
It seems that when you use a Japanese IME to enter text, the cursor moves in an unexpected manner and the text might appear out of order.
However, this may appear in apps that use the multibyte character set (MBCS). That includes Microsoft Japanese IME and third-party Japanese IMEs.
What are the known issues for KB5009566?
Unfortunately, this patch can also bring some bugs along. For instance, you may notice color rendering issues in image editing programs or on high dynamic range (HDR) displays.
Apparently, the problem affects the white colors that could be displayed as bright yellow or other colors.
According to Microsoft, the issue occurs when some color-rendering Win32 APIs return unexpected information or errors under certain conditions.
However, this won’t affect all the color profile management programs from Windows 11. The Microsoft Color Control Panel should work correctly.
The software giant doesn’t have a solution right now but it promises to provide a fix by the end of the month.
If you can’t find the new patch in the Windows Update section from Settings, you may download it manually from the Microsoft Update Catalog.
