More Win10 Pro 22H2 x64 test results
Updated three older Win10 Pro x64 22H2 canary machine with KB5033372 –
No issues seen other than also missing MSRT (Malicious Software Removal Tool) for December.
One more (4th) older Win10 Pro x64 22H2 canary machine (Dell Precision T3500) with KB5033372 seemed to get wrapped around a pole with multiple failed restarts when requested. However, eventually it seems to have worked once the Start->power button option ~”Apply Updates and Restart” was selected.
I’m about to try it on my two semi modern daily machines where I can test other possible impacts on our development environment. Fingers crossed.

I think we need more quick emojis/replies other than “Thanks” – because your post/response made me laugh.

I’ve also observed this premature/early restart when a .NET update is in the mix of updates.
And this month (April), several Win10 Pro 21H2 machines’ Settings->Update & Security->Windows Update panels exhibited the strange behavior of showing the update(s) available, downloading, then suddenly no longer reporting “installing” but instead reporting prematurely “You’re up to date” well before the cumulative update was done and a restart notification issued.
First time I saw it I thought I was mistaken about having seen the cumulative update briefly start installing. I thought maybe the cumulative update had failed? I searched the update history, and the cumulative update was not present. Finally after some time, the restart notification showed up. And the cumulative update was done successfully.
I hypothesize this annoying update status/progress glitch is due to the new embedding of the Servicing Stack Update (SSU) in the cumulative update.

This is also what I do. I use the DHCP server on the router to reserve some addresses for particular devices involved in providing shared resources. This way the mapping stays “static”.
Also, I think you do not want to just pick a previously assigned IP from the DHCP server’s space of dynamically assignable IP numbers. Often the DHCP server will leave some of the private IP space (192.168.x.y) alone and not assign numbers in that section of the private network space. For example it will leave, 192.168.1.2-40 alone, and start assigning IP numbers “above” 192.168.1.40. In this example, the first dynamic assignment the DHCP server will make will start at 192.168.1.41 . Therefore you’d want to make your static IP assignments within this non-DHCP (2-40) available range to avoid potential future collisions.
There is a bit more to my madness as well. For WiFi and home (not business) devices I use a separate router in a slightly different IP space.
Ontop of that the WiFi router offers a separate vlan with a separate SSID for “guests” that can be isolated from the rest of the home network, and furthermore can optionally be set to not allow any device on that “guest” network the ability to contact/discover any other device on the “guest” network. Beyond the fact that I cannot control what security patches my visitors implement (I have one visitor that thinks they know better than to apply security patches – ever…) I’m also concerned about all the IoT devices hooked up via WiFi. This is because as the saying goes “The S in IoT stands for Security”*. Therefore I generally isolate all these connected devices from each other and the rest of the home network. (It’s a bit less convenient when you first attach a new device to your WiFi, since you often have to turn off this isolating rule on the router, but therein after the device is talking to a cloud account, and your phone app is talking to the same cloud account, and then all is good…. After a few extra incantations and other exclamations )

Try to “Unblock” the file.
Right-click on the exe file that is the App and select Properties.
Switch to the General Tab and locate the Unblock option.
Check it and click Apply.
Or for more detail:
Bypass “Administrator Blocked You From Running This App” in Windows 10 (softwarekeep.com)
I hope it works for you. (I remember when I first saw this… )
