Releasing Windows 11 KB5008295 to Beta and Release Preview Channels

Hello Windows Insiders,

Today we’re releasing Windows 11 KB5008295 to Windows Insiders in the Beta and Release Preview Channels.

This update includes the following improvements:

• We fixed a known issue that might prevent some users from opening or using certain built-in Windows apps or parts of some built-in apps. This issue occurs because of a Microsoft digital certificate that expired October 31, 2021. This issue might affect the following applications:
  • Snipping Tool
  • Touch Keyboard, Voice Typing, and Emoji Panel
  • Input Method Editor user interface (IME UI)
  • Getting started and Tips
• We fixed a known issue that prevents the Start menu and Settings app from opening as expected (S-mode only).

Please note: After installing KB5008295, the build number will not be revised or show as updated in “winver” or other areas in the OS. To confirm this update is installed, please check Settings > Windows Update > Update history.
