Apple has released macOS Big Sur 11.5.2 with bug fixes.
The new macOS update will automatically download and install for users who have that option enabled. Users can also navigate to System Preferences to initiate the update manually.
Like the macOS 11.5.1 update in July, this update has arrived without a beta period for testing. Apple only lists bug fixes in the update description.
At this time, it is unclear exactly what the new build offers, outside a maintenance and compatibility release. Given that macOS 11.5.1 was a maintenance release, and that macOS Monterey is currently being beta-tested, it seems unlikely that there will be major changes in the build.

Hopefully it fixes the bug where I can’t access my Epson scanner through the Preview app anymore. I’ve already updated to latest Epson drivers and firmware.
Hi! I had issues with my Epson scanner, until I realized that the MacOS Image Capture app doe sit all without the Epson softwares. Please give it a try, and let us know if it works, or not.
And yes, you can scan directly into Preview from the menu, choose File > Import from Scanner > [scanner]
Apple help: "Scan a document or image in Preview on Mac"
That’s what I always used, I didn’t realize you could even scan directly into Preview.
Since Apple is turning iOS into a platform spying their paying users I will wait until the content of this update is disclosed before installing it...
