Windows 11 Hotpatch

Hi all. We recently suffered from the issue where the credentials box would ‘freeze’ when trying to input username/password details for a corporate wi-fi profile. This was fixed in the January Preview (week D) update. However users on machines that got the February and March Hotpatch updates are still experiencing the issue. It seems that the fix was included in the Feb/Mar ‘normal’ monthly CU but not the Hotpatch ones. Can anybody confirm this is the case as I can’t seem to get a straight answer from Microsoft. It kind of blows the whole philosophy of Hotpatch out the window if you then have to wait until the next baseline update to get some critical fixes, so we might have to disable it again. I logged a ticket with MS for this and they suggested manually installing the Jan Preview update, but it says ‘not applicable’ because it thinks the Hotpatch supersedes it even though it appears not to included the required fix.
