Microsoft is moving one step closer to the general public discharge of a Windows fix that resolves the bug introduced in January and resulting in the recovery discovery discs made out of the Backup and Restore feature bundled with the OS to no more start.

The issue was caused by the January 2022 cumulative updates on all supported versions of Windows, with Microsoft explaining that third-party products weren't affected, and all users could switch to them until a fix goes live.

"After installing the Windows updates released January 11, 2022 or later Windows versions with an affected form of Windows, recovery discs (CD or DVD) developed by using the Backup and Restore (Windows 7) app in charge Panel might be not able to start," Microsoft said at that point.

"Recovery discs that were created by while using Backup and Restore (Windows 7) app on devices which have installed Windows updates released before January 11, 2022 aren't affected by this issue and should start not surprisingly."

After previously testing a fix earlier this month, Microsoft has included the patch within the most recent Windows 10 preview build that the company just shipped to users who're signed up for the Windows Insider program in the Release Preview channel.

"We fixed a known issue that may prevent recovery discs (CD or DVD) from starting should you created them while using Backup and Restore (Windows 7) app in Control Panel. This issue occurs after installing Windows updates released January 11, 2022 or later," the software giant notes in the release notes of the latest build.

If everything goes based on the plan and Microsoft doesn't find a new bug in the newest updates, the fix is going love all production devices, regardless of the Windows version they run, included in the June 2022 Patch Tuesday cycle.
