Windows 11 KB5015814: Watch out for these issues in the latest update

Windows 11 KB5015814 is now available for everyone and includes a host of improvements, fixes, and some new issues. This cumulative update brings the Windows Search Highlights feature to everyone and resolves an issue that prevented users from upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 (the original version).

KB5015814 is a security update that will be downloaded to your device automatically at some time in the future or when you manually check for updates. Of course, if you're aware of potential issues with this particular update, you can pause the update for up to a week. Otherwise, for the most part, KB5015814 is a good update.

Late Tuesday, Microsoft released security patches for the July 2022 version 21H2 update of Windows 11, and on the surface it doesn't appear to have changed much. However, after downloading the patch, fully updated Windows 11 users found themselves unable to install cumulative updates.

It has been reported that KB5015814 installation fails with error messages such as 0x8000ffff, 0x8007007e and 0x80073701.

"Even after I restarted my computer, I still received installation error 0x8000ffff for this update. Not sure if I installed KB5014668 because I didn't see it in the list of updates," one affected of users pointed it out in the Feedback Hub.

"Something went wrong with this update, there was a boot loop. Fortunately, Windows managed to untie itself. It is recommended not to install this," another user pointed out.

On Reddit, some users have also flagged Start Menu performance issues, but this doesn't appear to be a widespread issue.

Currently, we are not aware of any workaround, but you can pause updates to prevent the installation from failing. Remember, downloading an update package from the Microsoft Update Catalog may also resolve the issue.

Windows 11 KB5015814 New features and fixes

KB5015814 supports a new feature called Search Highlights. For those who don’t know, Search Highlights started rolling out earlier this year and provides access to noteworthy or interesting moments in Microsoft Bing.

These moments can be holidays, anniversaries, and other moments around the world and in your region. Enterprise customers will also see updates from your organization, and Windows 11 will be able to suggest people, files, and more. While the feature is included in the patch itself, Microsoft says it may take "the coming weeks" to appear on all PCs.

According to reports, Microsoft is taking a phased and planned approach. Availability will only happen in the coming months.

List of fixes in KB5015814:

• Microsoft has fixed an issue where Windows 11 incorrectly displays Japanese characters in PowerShell.
• Another bug where the Cloud Clipboard Service stopped working and prevented synchronization between machines has been fixed.
• Fixed a bug in Windows 11 that prevented the Windows Sandbox startup screen from being hidden after the Sandbox started running.
• Another bug that could cause continuous video clip playback to fail has been fixed.
