Microsoft has made Windows 11’s annual refresh—version 25H2—available as official ISO media to Windows Insiders in the Release Preview channel, completing the packaging that IT teams, OEMs and advanced users need for clean installs and image-based testing even as the bulk rollout continues to be...
Microsoft’s September servicing quietly removes two long‑standing administration tools — the legacy Windows PowerShell 2.0 engine and the WMIC (Windows Management Instrumentation Command‑line) tool — from certain Windows 11 images, a deliberate security‑first move that closes well‑documented...
Microsoft has quietly published official ISO images for Windows 11, version 25H2 to the Windows Insider Preview downloads area, completing a key piece of release scaffolding for IT teams, OEMs, and enthusiasts even as most devices receive the feature update as a lightweight enablement package...
Windows 11’s 2025 feature update has arrived in preview form — and if you were expecting fireworks, prepare for a shrug: version 25H2 is being shipped as a lightweight, enablement-style package that doesn’t add brand‑new features beyond what’s already available in 24H2. What Microsoft has...
Windows 11’s 25H2 installer has arrived for testers, but the copy available today is a Release Preview disk image (ISO) and still a preview build — meaning most users should sit tight and wait for the official, staged rollout through Windows Update rather than rushing to download and manually...

Microsoft has quietly made official ISO media for Windows 11 version 25H2 available to the public after a brief delay — a small but important development that moves the update from preview-only to the brink of general availability and gives IT teams, OEMs, and enthusiasts the canonical...
Early benchmarking and preview coverage make the headline blunt: Windows 11 version 25H2 is not delivering any measurable raw performance improvement over 24H2 — it is an enablement and stability-focused release, not a performance rework — and that outcome should surprise no one who followed...
Windows 11’s upcoming 25H2 release has arrived in preview form with a familiar headline: it’s small, largely cosmetic under the hood, and — according to early independent testing — it does not deliver measurable performance gains over 24H2 for real‑world CPU and productivity workloads. Early...
A new, community-driven take on Windows 11 is rapidly gaining attention: Tiny11’s updated builder promises to strip large swathes of preinstalled software from Windows images, produce dramatically smaller ISOs that can run on older or otherwise unsupported hardware, and even block many of...

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 quietly updated its Release Preview announcement for Windows 11, version 25H2 to say the downloadable ISO images are “delayed and coming soon,” even as the update itself is now available to Release Preview Insiders as a lightweight enablement package—a move that tightens the rollout...
Microsoft quietly pulled back the promised ISO images for Windows 11, version 25H2 this week, updating its Release Preview announcement to say the ISOs are “delayed and coming soon” even as the update itself lands in the Release Preview channel as an enablement-package style release. Background...
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...
