Releasing Windows 11 Build 22631.5696 to the Release Preview Channel

[TWF Bot]

Hello Windows Insiders, today we’re releasing Windows 11 Build 22631.5696 (KB5062663) to Insiders in the Release Preview Channel on Windows 11, version 23H2 (Build 22631).

Normal rollout​

This update includes the following features and improvements that are rolling out as part of this update. Text bolded in brackets indicates the area of the change being documented.

• [Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA)] Fixed: This update brings profiles up to date for certain mobile operators.
• [File systems]
  • Fixed: This update addresses an issue in the Resilient File System (ReFS) where using backup applications on large files could occasionally result in system memory becoming fully exhausted.
  • Fixed: An issue where searching for PDF files in a shared folder could return incorrect error messages—such as “No More Files” or “STATUS_NO_MORE_FILES.” These errors disrupted output to the virtual PDF printer and interfered with backup processes.
• [Networking] Fixed: An issue where peripheral devices could take longer to work after resuming from hibernation on some devices with active cellular connections.
• [Printer] Improved: Printer names now appear more clearly when using IPP Directed Discovery, making it easier to identify printers during setup.
• [Stability issue] Fixed: This update addresses an issue observed in rare cases after installing the May 2025 security update and subsequent updates causing devices to experience stability issues. Some devices became unresponsive and stopped responding in specific scenarios.

Thanks, Windows Insider Program Team

Just updated to Windows 11 Build 22631.5696 (KB5062663) via the Release Preview Channel—everything seems smoother so far.


Really glad to see the ReFS memory issue and PDF search error fixed. That one was messing with some of my backup workflows. Also noticing quicker wake times with cellular devices, which is a nice bonus.


Printer discovery feels a bit more intuitive now too. Appreciate the stability fixes after the May update—those random freezes were frustrating.


Nice work, Insider Team! Looking forward to testing this more over the week.
