Microsoft has now released the Windows 11 March update KB5031358 with Build 22000.2538 to everyone running version 21H2. The update KB5031358 (Build 22000.2538) completes the work to comply with the GB18030-2022 requirements. It also brings fixes for many significant issues.
Improvements
This non-security update includes quality improvements. When you install this KB:
- New! This update completes the work to comply with the GB18030-2022 requirements. It removes and remaps characters for Microsoft Wubi input and Microsoft Pinyin U-mode input. You can no longer enter character codepoints that are not supported. All the required codepoints are up to date.
- This update supports daylight saving time (DST) changes in Greenland.
- This update changes the spelling of Ukraine’s capital from Kiev to Kyiv.
- This update addresses an issue that affects account lockout event 4625. The format of the event is wrong in the ForwardedEvents log. This occurs when an account name is in the user principal name (UPN) format.
- This update affects the Key Distribution Center (KDC) and user security identifiers (SID). KDC now reads the user SID from the Subject Alternative Name (SAN) of a certificate. Because of this, mobile device management (MDM) providers can use offline templates to fill in the user SID. To learn more, see KB5014754.
- This update addresses an issue that is related to changes in the forwarding of events.
- This update addresses an issue that affects XPath queries on FileHash and other binary fields. It stops them from matching values in event records.

- This update addresses an issue that affects application compatibility. It is related to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.

- This update addresses an issue that affects the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC). It has a handle leak. Because of this, the system runs out of memory.
