change date in Windows 11

Windows 11 on laptop and mobile

Microsoft releases KB5048667 update, removing another Windows 11 24H2 block and introducing a questionable change

There are still various obstacles in the way of updating to Windows 11 24H2, but Microsoft has just removed one of them. Until now, systems with a USB scanner that used the eSCL scan protocol were blocked from installing the update, but this block has now been lifted.

This is not all that is to be found in the update, of course. There is a somewhat controversial switch to a shortened date format in the taskbar as well as a batch of important security fixes.
