ChromeOS and Windows no longer sit on opposite ends of a simple “light vs heavy” spectrum — in 2025 the debate is about use cases, deployment scale, and where efficiency matters more than raw throughput. The data and tests published this year show Chromebooks closing gaps on day‑to‑day...
Microsoft has begun the staged rollout of the Windows 11 25H2 update — an incremental, enablement-package-based release that unlocks a raft of AI-enhanced capabilities, a redesigned Start menu, richer lock‑screen widgets, improved energy and recovery tools, and targeted enterprise manageability...

Microsoft is preparing to automatically install three new Microsoft 365 “companion” apps — People, Files, and Calendar — onto Windows 11 devices that already have Microsoft 365 desktop apps, and those apps will be configured to launch at device startup unless administrators or users change...
Microsoft’s new caution for IT teams is simple but consequential: if you upgrade office or enterprise PCs to Windows 11, version 25H2 outside a designated baseline month, those devices will temporarily stop receiving Microsoft’s hotpatch (no‑restart) security updates and will instead get...
Microsoft’s deadline is now unavoidable: Windows 10 will stop receiving regular security updates on October 14, 2025, and the immediate fallout in India—where millions of machines still run Windows 10—has forced consumers, small businesses, and large organisations into a compressed set of...

Microsoft has begun the controlled rollout of Windows 11, version 25H2 — the 2025 annual feature update — and for most users it arrives as a fast, low‑impact enablement package that flips on features already staged in 24H2 while resetting support timelines and tightening security controls. This...
Microsoft has begun the controlled rollout of the Windows 11 2025 Update — officially Windows 11, version 25H2 — and this year the upgrade arrives as a lightweight enablement package (eKB) rather than a full, reinstalled feature update, promising faster installs and a streamlined servicing model...
Microsoft’s gradual, enablement-style rollout of Windows 11 version 25H2 landed this week with a thin set of platform housekeeping changes and a steady stream of app-level AI features — most notably an on-device Auto‑Categorization feature in the Photos app for Copilot+ PCs — while Microsoft...
Windows 11 version 25H2 arrives as an intentionally small, operational update — an enablement package that flips features already carried in the 24H2 servicing branch, removes long‑deprecated tooling, and adds a handful of enterprise controls, all while resetting the servicing clock for devices...
Microsoft has begun the staged rollout of the Windows 11 2025 Update — officially version 25H2 — but for the vast majority of users the release will feel deliberately muted: a servicing milestone, not a consumer-facing overhaul.
Background / Overview
Microsoft continues to move Windows 11’s...
Microsoft has begun a staged rollout of the Windows 11 2025 Update — version 25H2 — and for most up-to-date PCs the upgrade is shockingly light: Microsoft delivers 25H2 primarily as a tiny enablement package (eKB) that flips already-shipped code on, meaning eligible devices already on Windows 11...
Microsoft has begun the staged rollout of the Windows 11 2025 Update — Windows 11, version 25H2 — delivered primarily as a small enablement package that activates features already staged during the 24H2 servicing cycle, while emphasizing security hardening, lifecycle resets, and the removal of...
Microsoft’s 2025 Windows 11 feature update arrives quietly but deliberately: Windows 11, version 25H2 is being distributed as a small enablement package that flips on capabilities already staged in the 24H2 servicing stream, resets support clocks for targeted SKUs, and focuses more on...
Microsoft has quietly shipped Windows 11 version 25H2 as a fast, low‑impact enablement package rather than a conventional, feature‑heavy annual release — and at launch there are effectively no new user‑visible features to unpack, only a small list of legacy removals and management tweaks aimed...
Microsoft’s 2025 Windows 11 update arrives more like a system housekeeper than a showstopper: version 25H2 is rolling out as a lightweight enablement package that flips on features already delivered across the 24H2 servicing branch while focusing squarely on security hardening, manageability...
Microsoft has begun the controlled rollout of Windows 11 version 25H2 — a lightweight, enablement-package update that formally advances the Windows 11 servicing baseline while focusing on manageability, stability, and incremental polish rather than sweeping consumer-facing changes.

Microsoft has begun pushing Windows 11, version 25H2 into the Windows Insider Release Preview channel—delivering this year's annual feature update as a tiny enablement package that flips features already staged across the 24H2 servicing stream, while also removing some legacy components and...
Windows 11’s 25H2 update is rolling out today as a surprisingly quiet but consequential release — one that’s unlikely to look dramatic on most desktops yet still reshapes how Microsoft ships Windows going forward. Delivered as an enablement package (eKB) rather than a full feature overhaul, 25H2...
The migration from Windows 10 to Windows 11 is no longer a distant IT project — it is a definable strategic opportunity that, when handled correctly, can deliver measurable security, productivity, and competitive gains for businesses across sectors. The recent CAJ News Africa briefing framing...
