The fix

Microsoft fixes this in updatesKB5122106, KB5122104, KB5122105. The fixed build differs per Windows version, so the row that matters is the one matching the machine you are looking at.

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.
