Windows might only be partially configured, and the Out Of Box Experience might not finish or might restart unexpectedly. Provisioning packages are .PPKG files which are used to help configure new devices for use on business or school networks. Provisioning packages which are applied during initial setup are most likely to be impacted by this issue. For more information on provisioning packages, please see Provisioning packages for Windows. Note: Provisioning Windows devices using Windows Autopilot is not affected by this issue.
Windows devices used by consumers in their home or small offices are not likely to be affected by this issue.
Workaround: If you can provision the Windows device before upgrading to Windows 11, version 22H2, this will prevent the issue.
Next steps: We are presently investigating and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
Microsoft has found an issue that forces only default settings in installed printers on Windows 11 version 22H2. When an installed printer uses Microsoft IPP Class Driver or Universal Print Class Driver and is installed on a Windows device with connectivity issues to the printer, the printer is set up with default settings. In some scenarios the printer might not get updated once connectivity to the printer is restored.
Some installed printers might only allow default settings

Opened: 2022-09-29, 17:41 PTMicrosoft has found an issue when an installed printer uses Microsoft IPP Class Driver or Universal Print Class Driver and is installed on a Windows device with connectivity issues to the printer. Windows needs connectivity to the printer to identify all the features of the printer. Without connectivity, the printer is set up with default settings and in some scenarios might not get updated once connectivity to the printer is restored. You might be affected by this issue if your printer is unable to use printer specific features such as color, two-sided/duplex printing, paper size or type settings, or resolutions higher than 300x300dpi. Currently, installed printers in this state will carry this issue forward when upgraded to Windows 11, version 22H2.
To safeguard your upgrade experience, we have applied a compatibility hold on Windows devices with printers using Microsoft IPP Class Driver or Universal Print Class Driver from being offered Windows 11, version 22H2. If your organization is using Update Compliance, the safeguard ID is 41332279.
Workaround: To mitigate the safeguard and allow your Windows device to upgrade to Windows 11, version 22H2, you can remove any printers using Microsoft IPP Class Driver or Universal Print Class Driver which you have installed. Once you have removed any affected installed printers, you should be able to upgrade to Windows 11, version 22H2. Please note, if there are no other safeguards that affect your device, it can take up to 48 hours before the upgrade to Windows 11 is offered. Restarting your device and checking for updates might help it to offer sooner.
If you have an installed printer which only allows default settings, you can mitigate this issue by removing and reinstalling the printer. For instructions, please see Download printer drivers in Windows.
Next steps: We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release. Important: Currently this safeguard is on all Windows devices with printers using Microsoft IPP Class Driver or Universal Print Class Driver. We are working to target only Windows devices with printer drivers which are incorrectly only allowing default settings and will update when more information is available.
Note We recommend that you do not attempt to manually upgrade using the Update now button or the Media Creation Tool until this issue has been resolved and the safeguard removed.
