The following issues have been fixed:
Security-related issues.
Any OES client version after SP7 IR1 displays the message "Waiting for network to initialize..." during system startup. Installing the operating system on a drive other than C causes this problem.
Windows Client for Open Enterprise 24.1 creates a 0 KB file when it copies read-only files from one drive to another on the same client-server.
This issue occurs due to the recent changes to the Windows copy operation, which is now handled by the Windows XTier drivers instead of direct NCP calls. When the source file is set to “Read Only,” Windows prevents the destination file from opening with write access.
Using a login script, Windows 10 21H1 or 22H2 Explorer displays the drives without icons and a never-ending progress bar.
This issue occurs due to the C++03 standard. The C runtime libraries do not handle thread-safe initialization of local function static variables.
