The fix
Microsoft fixes this in updateKB5095051. The fixed build differs per Windows version, so the row that matters is the one matching the machine you are looking at.
| Windows version | Fixed in build | Update | Released |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows 11 Version 26H1 for ARM64-based Systems | 10.0.28000.2269 | KB5095051 | 2026-09-19 |
| Windows 11 version 26H1 for x64-based Systems | 10.0.28000.2269 | KB5095051 | 2026-09-19 |
Having the KB is not the same as knowing whether a machine has it. Windows updates supersede each other, so the update you installed often covers a fix that shipped in an earlier one. Paste your build into the patch checker and it walks that chain for you.
