What’s New#$$$Support for the latest Windows 11 update and Windows 2022 Server.$$$$$$Fixed Issues#$$$The following issues have been fixed:$$$$$$Security-related issues.$$$$$$Any OES client version after SP7 IR1 displays the message Waiting for network to initialize... during system startup. Installing the operating system on a drive other than C causes this problem.$$$$$$Windows Client for Open Enterprise 24.1 creates a 0 KB file when it copies read-only files from one drive to another on the same client-server.$$$$$$This issue occurs due to the recent changes to the Windows copy operation; which is now handled by the Windows XTier drivers instead of direct NCP calls. When the source file is set to “Read Only;” Windows prevents the destination file from opening with write access.$$$$$$Using a login script; Windows 10 21H1 or 22H2 Explorer displays the drives without icons and a never-ending progress bar.$$$$$$This issue occurs due to the C++03 standard. The C runtime libraries do not handle thread-safe initialization of local function static variables.$$$$$$Refer - https://www.microfocus.com/documentation/client-for-open-enterprise-server/24.4/windows_client_readme_25.1/windows_client_readme_25.1.html#t4o8fv0md47q$$$
