Windows 10: KB5011551 and interruption of communication sockets

We have a subset of our installed Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC systems that received this preview update and it seems to be related to an new issue that some of the TCP socket communciations get hung randomly waiting for the socket server Shutdown command. Still preliminary at this point, but posing the question here if anyone else is seeing similar issues or a dev can weigh in on whether or not this would have been affected. A review of the file list for the update included winsockai.dll which may or may not be related.A rollback of this KB5011551 seemed to resolve the issue so far today

Error message "missing registry socket"

Hi Harry,

Thank you for bringing up your query on Microsoft Community.

I realize this may be frustrating. Now that you have me with you, let me take care of this.

Winsock or Windows Sockets is a technical specification that defines how Windows network software should access network services.

Let us try the following steps and check if it helps.

Step 1: Perform a Winsock Reset

• Open the Windows Start Screen or Start Menu and type
  cmd in the search box.
• Right-click Command Prompt or cmd in the search results and select
  Run as Administrator.
• Type netsh winsock reset in the Command Prompt window and press
  Enter. Wait for Windows to finish resetting your Winsock configuration.
• Reboot your computer.

Step 2: I suggest you to follow the steps suggested by
