KB5030323, KB5031274: Microsoft improves OOBE for Windows 11 Moment 4 update

This week, the Windows 11 22H2 Moment 4 update went live under KB5030310 (build 22621.2361). As such, Microsoft has also released upgrades to improve the Windows out-of-the-box experience (OOBE) with new KB5030323 and KB5031274 updates.

The March OOBE update, for example, added a Shim to improve compatibility with Component Object Model (COM) objects. Meanwhile, the April OOBE update also addressed compatibility issues, but this time it was related to the registry.

With this month's OOBE update release though, Microsoft hasn't gone into any detail about what the new update brings as it has only mentioned that this is meant to improve the Windows 22H2 Out of box experience.

The release notes as well as other related details regarding these updates are given below:
