This update does not address a couple of the current Windows 11 22H2 known issues including slow file copy performance over SMB, and provisioning packages may not work as expected. Also, this does not resolve the issues with Windows Hello (login) not working after the Window 11 22H2 update not being installed (which is why Microsoft is blocking the update on systems using Windows Hello. However, the issue was to be addressed with the Windows 11 KB501738 update expected to be released today.
