In this article we are going to go through the first security update that Microsoft has released for Windows 11. This update promises to fix the compatibility issues between Intel “Killer” and “SmartByte” networking software and Windows 11 (original release).
The first thing that you need to note is that, this update is not a feature update, so it doesn’t bring up any new features, only fixes to some security issues that were reported in the previous version of Windows 11.
This security update includes quality improvements. Key changes include:
- Addresses known compatibility issues between some Intel “Killer” and “SmartByte” networking software and Windows 11 (original release). Devices with the affected software might drop User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets under certain conditions. This creates performance and other issues for protocols based on UDP. For example, some websites might load slower than others on the affected devices, which might cause videos to stream slower in certain resolutions. VPN solutions based on UDP might also be slower.
