Microsoft has quietly opened the gates: Windows 11 version 25H2 is now available to testers in the Windows Insider Release Preview channel as a small, fast enablement package that flips features already staged in the 24H2 servicing branch — which means you can install the 2025 annual update on...
Windows 11’s “inbox app” problem just got a new, pragmatic weapon: NTDEV’s updated Tiny11 Builder — a PowerShell-driven ISO rebuilder that now explicitly strips Copilot, the new Outlook client, and Teams from fresh Windows 11 installs while adding image-size and anti‑reinstall improvements aimed...
Windows 11’s inbox app pile just got a new nemesis: Tiny11’s updated builder can now strip Copilot, the new Outlook client, Teams, and a long roster of built‑ins from a Windows 11 image — and the change is explicitly framed as a “25H2‑ready” rebuild that shrinks install size and prevents much of...
The tiny11builder project has received a significant refresh: the PowerShell-based builder now supports Windows 11 version 25H2 builds, adds explicit removal of Copilot and the new Outlook for Windows client, switches to more efficient recovery compression for smaller ISOs, and introduces...

Microsoft has quietly pushed Windows 11, version 25H2, into the Release Preview Channel—but don’t expect a parade of shiny consumer features. The update is being delivered as a lightweight enablement package on top of the existing 24H2 servicing branch, which means it activates features...
Microsoft’s Windows 11, version 25H2, is deliberately low‑drama: rather than introducing a slate of brand‑new consumer features, Microsoft shipped it as a small enablement package that activates functionality already staged in the 24H2 servicing stream — and, in the process, removes legacy...
Microsoft has moved the next annual Windows 11 update — Windows 11, version 25H2 (Build 26200.5074) — into the Release Preview testing ring, opening the final validation window for Insiders and commercial pilots ahead of a broader public rollout later this calendar year. The update is not a full...
