    Following installation of the July 2025 Windows security updates (KB5062560), there might be issues when using the Microsoft Changjie IME (input method editor) for Traditional Chinese.

    This issue only affects devices where Traditional Chinese is a preferred or common language or input method, and specifically where Changjie IME is used. Reported symptoms include:

    • ​inability to form or select words after typing the full composition (associate phrase window)
    • ​spacebar or blank key not responding
    • ​incorrect or distorted word outputs
    • ​the conversion candidate window fails to display properly

    Microsoft Changjie is an IME that is included in Windows and available in currently supported versions.

    Workaround: Windows IME supports a compatibility setting that allows using the previous version of an IME instead. Employing this option should help resolve this issue.

    To revert to old version of the Microsoft Changjie IME, follow these steps:

    1. ​Open the Language & region setting. This can be accomplished by opening the Settings app, selecting Time & Language, then Language & Regions. You can also open the start menu and type "language" and select the top result.
    2. ​If Traditional Chinese is used on this device, the Chinese (Traditional) option will appear near the top. Select the three dots next to Chinese (Traditional) to open a menu and select Language Options.
    3. ​Under Keyboards, select the three dots next to Microsoft Changjie and select Keyboard Options from the menu.
    4. ​Under Compatibility, set the "Use previous version of Microsoft Changjie" option to On. Then select OK.

    Next steps: We are working on a resolution and will provide more information when it is available.

    Affected platforms:

    • ​Client: Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 11, version 22H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10, version 1809; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2016; Windows 10, version 1607

    Apps that acquire or set Active Directory Forest Trust Information might have issues

    After installing updates released January 11, 2022 or later, apps using Microsoft .NET Framework to acquire or set Active Directory Forest Trust Information might fail, close, or you might receive an error from the app or Windows. You might also receive an access violation (0xc0000005) error. Note for developers: Affected apps use the System.DirectoryServices API.

    Next Steps: This issue was resolved in the out-of-band update for the version of .NET Framework used by the app. Note: These out-of-band updates are not available from Windows Update and will not install automatically. To get the standalone package, search for the KB number for your version of Windows and .NET Framework in the Microsoft Update Catalog. You can manually import these updates into Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager. For WSUS instructions, see WSUS and the Catalog Site. For Configuration Manger instructions, see Import updates from the Microsoft Update Catalog.

    For instructions on how to install this update for your operating system, see the KB articles listed below:

    • ​Windows Server 2022:

    After installing KB4601318, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) apps might close, or you may receive an error similar to:

            Exception Info: System.NullReferenceException at System.Windows.Interop.HwndMouseInputProvider.HasCustomChrome(System.Windows.Interop.HwndSource, RECT ByRef)

            at System.Windows.Interop.HwndMouseInputProvider.GetEffectiveClientRect(IntPtr)

            at System.Windows.Interop.HwndMouseInputProvider.PossiblyDeactivate(IntPtr, Boolean)

            at System.Windows.Interop.HwndMouseInputProvider.Dispose()

    This occurs when disposing an HwndSource whose RootVisual is null, a situation that arises in Visual Studio when docking or splitting windows, and could arise in other apps.

    Affected platforms:

    • ​Client: Windows 10, version 1803; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2016; Windows 10, version 1607
    • ​Server: Windows Server, version 1803; Windows Server 2016

    Workaround: To mitigate this issue when using Microsoft Visual Studio, update to the latest version. This issue is resolved starting with the following releases:

    Developers can mitigate this issue in their own apps by setting two AppContext switches using one of the methods described in AppContext Class (System) under the heading “AppContext for library consumers”. The switches are named Switch.System.Windows.Interop.MouseInput.OptOutOfMoveToChromedWindowFix and Switch.System.Windows.Interop.MouseInput.DoNotOptOutOfMoveToChromedWindowFix; both should be set to “true”. The first switch avoids the crash, but re-introduces the issue addressed in this update. The second switch is currently ignored, but will be recognized in a future .NET update that addresses the issue for the null-reference crash; it restores the behavior originally intended to be addressed in this update.

    For example, using the app.config file method to apply the workaround at application scope:

            <AppContextSwitchOverrides value="Switch.System.Windows.Interop.MouseInput.OptOutOfMoveToChromedWindowFix=true; Switch.System.Windows.Interop.MouseInput.DoNotOptOutOfMoveToChromedWindowFix=true " />

    Next steps: We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
