On the finish of June, Microsoft launched Home windows 11 setup and restoration updates (KB5062233/ KB5060843/ KB5062197/ KB5061090) following the month’s non-security previews for 24H2 (KB5060829) and 23H2/22H2 (KB5060826).

At present, the corporate has confirmed that KB5060829 is inflicting some troubles for programs with regard to Firewall. Microsoft says that IT admins and system admins could discover a recurring error entry within the Safety occasion log associated to Home windows Firewall With Superior Safety whereby the Occasion Viewer data occasion ID 2042, labeled “Config Learn Failed” with the message “Extra knowledge is obtainable” every time the system restarts.

Though logged as an error, the tech large notes that this entry doesn’t point out a malfunction of the Home windows Firewall and as such it may be “safely ignored and disregarded,” and that Home windows Firewall continues to implement guidelines and filter community visitors usually as meant. Microsoft assures that “there isn’t any influence to Home windows processes related to this occasion.”

IT help groups and even common customers typically depend on error-level occasion entries to detect misconfiguration and different points (Microsoft itself recommends you accomplish that), so sudden log noise can set off pointless alerts like these.

Curiously, on this case, the logged occasion stems from an upcoming characteristic as Microsoft notes that the “occasion is expounded to a characteristic that’s at the moment underneath improvement and never absolutely carried out.” No further info relating to this new characteristic has been offered right now.

For individuals who favor a cleaner log, directors can filter out occasion 2042 in Occasion Viewer or through PowerShell. In Occasion Viewer, create a customized view filtering out ID 2042 underneath the Safety log and in PowerShell, use the Get-WinEvent -FilterHashtable parameter.

Microsoft says that the workforce is at the moment engaged on a repair and an replace can be launched later. Nevertheless, no ETA has been shared at present. You will discover the problem entry right here on Microsoft’s official Home windows Well being dashboard web site.
