Today, Microsoft is releasing a new optional cumulative update for Windows 11. Unlike most cumulative updates, however, this one actually comes with a new feature. It has the new emojis that were announced back in July. Well, kind of.
When the new emoji characters were announced, the design team showed off these beautiful, 3D characters that looked on par to what you’d find on iOS. But when they started showing up in preview, they were actually flat and much less visually appealing than users had been led to believe. As it turns out, the pretty emojis are exclusive to things like Teams and Flipgrid, while Windows 11 is getting 2D emojis (insert joke about inconsistency here).
Microsoft said that the goal is for the new emojis to be “personal and familiar” which are key design principles in Windows 11. There are more emojis too, including the Emoji 13.1 set.
But of course, that’s not all that’s new in this update. This is a C week update after all, making it an optional cumulative update with tons of fixes.
If you’re on Windows 11, you’ll see KB5007262, which brings the build number to 22000.348. You can manually download it here, and these are the highlights:
- Updates an issue that causes Internet Explorer to stop working when you copy and paste text while using the Input Method Editor (IME).
- Updates an issue that displays the incorrect background for the iFLY Simplified Chinese IME icon in the notification area.
- Updates an issue that prevents the display of File Explorer and desktop shortcut menus. This issue often occurs when you choose to use a single click to open an item.
- Improves the animation performance of icons on the taskbar.
- Updates volume control issues that affect Bluetooth audio devices.
- Updates an issue that causes File Explorer to stop working after you close a File Explorer window.
- Updates an issue that displays incorrect closed-caption shadows for some videos.
- Updates an issue that automatically removes the Serbian (Latin) Windows display language from a device.

- Updates an issue that, under certain conditions, prevents the keyboard focus rectangle from being visible when you use Task View, Alt-Tab, or Snap Assist.
- Updates an issue that might cause Windows Mixed Reality to start when you put on a headset. This issue occurs even when you’ve turned off the option “Start Mixed Reality Portal when my headset’s presence sensor detects that I’m wearing it”.
- Updates an issue that might cause your device to report that it doesn’t detect a printer after you plug it in.
- Updates an issue that might cause a temporary loss of audio on your device.

- Adds an option for you to choose whether to automatically turn on Focus Assist for the first hour after a Windows feature update.
- Updates an audio distortion issue that affects Xbox One and Xbox Series Audio peripherals and occurs when you use them with spatial audio.
- Updates several aspects of Windows emoji. As part of an iterative and ongoing work, we have made the following improvements for this release:
- Updates all emoji from the Segoe UI Emoji font to the Fluent 2D emoji style
- Includes support for Emoji 13.1, which:
- Updates the emoji dictionary
- Adds the ability to search for Emoji 13.1 in all supported languages
- Updates the Emoji and more panel so you can enter emoji in your applications
Those are just the highlights too. The list of fixes is even longer.
Windows 11 build 22000.348 Fixes
There are a couple of ways that you can install this update. First, you can install it manually by downloading the update from the link above. You can also get it through Windows Update by checking for updates and then opting into installing it. It’s optional though, meaning that it won’t install automatically. If you don’t take it, these fixes and changes will be rolled into next month’s Patch Tuesday update, which is mandatory.
