The good news is that this problem has now disappeared because the latest cumulative update released by Microsoft to all devices running the aforementioned Windows version includes special fixes in this area. So theoretically, the only thing you need to do is install the KB5006746 cumulative update on the affected system.

If the cumulative update cannot be installed temporarily, Microsoft also provides a temporary solution.

Only the automatic download and installation process will be affected by this problem.
