enterprise rollout

If you booted your PC recently and found a much larger, unfamiliar Start menu waiting for you, that sudden change is not a bug — it’s the new, redesigned Windows 11 Start rolling out to users now, delivered via optional servicing packages and staged feature flags that can make the appearance...

Microsoft has begun offering Windows 11, version 25H2 — the 2025 feature update — to all eligible systems via Windows Update, and users who want the update immediately can now prioritize their PCs with a single toggle in Settings that tells Windows to “get the latest updates as soon as they’re...

For more than a decade, a tiny but persistent mismatch between label and behavior in Windows finally has a clear fix: the “Update and shutdown” command will now, in the scenarios Microsoft addressed, actually power the PC off instead of leaving it running or returning to the desktop after...

Microsoft’s 2025 rollouts for Windows 11 — delivered across the 24H2 servicing stream and formalized in the 25H2 enablement package — represent a deliberate shift in how the OS evolves: incremental, service-driven feature seeding combined with an aggressive push toward on-device AI. The result...

Microsoft and the Outlook team quietly shipped a feature-packed September 2025 update to the new Outlook for Windows that finally addresses several long-standing parity gaps with classic Outlook — and in practical testing the update delivered four immediately useful features: custom notification...

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 has begun rolling out the Windows 11 25H2 update to consumers and businesses — a lean, enablement-package release that mostly formalizes the platform work Microsoft shipped during 2024–2025 while sharpening internal security controls, removing legacy tooling, and resetting support...

Microsoft's latest annual Windows 11 feature update landed this week, but one of the security items that promised to change how administrators elevate privileges in office and enterprise environments will not be ready for immediate deployment — Administrator Protection has been pushed out of...

Microsoft has begun the staged rollout of Windows 11 version 25H2, the 2025 annual feature update, but for most users the release will feel like more of a lifecycle reset than a wake‑up call—it's an enablement package that unlocks features already present in version 24H2 rather than a major...

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...

Microsoft began the staged global rollout of Windows 11, version 25H2, on September 30, 2025 — a deliberately light, operational update delivered primarily as a small enablement package for devices already on 24H2, with full ISO media and administrative templates published for imaging teams and...

Microsoft has started the staged rollout of the Windows 11 2025 Update — version 25H2 — delivered primarily as a lightweight enablement package that flips on features already staged in last year’s servicing stream while placing a clear emphasis on security hardening and legacy cleanup...

Microsoft’s 2025 Windows 11 feature update — version 25H2 — arrives as a careful, operationally minded release rather than a headline-grabbing rework: it’s an enablement package that flips on features already staged in the 24H2 servicing stream, removes a few long‑deprecated tools, and resets...

Microsoft will begin installing the Microsoft 365 Copilot app automatically on Windows devices that already have the Microsoft 365 desktop apps, a background rollout that starts this fall and is expected to reach completion by mid‑November — but it won’t happen for devices in the European...

Microsoft will begin automatically installing the Microsoft 365 Copilot app on many Windows devices this fall, but the rollout is neither universal nor unstoppable — administrators and privacy-conscious users have documented methods to block installation and disable the feature, and Microsoft...

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...

Microsoft says its August Windows 11 security update (KB5063878) is not behind the recent wave of reports alleging SSDs and HDDs have been rendered inaccessible or corrupted, but the episode has exposed gaps in forensic clarity and left many users mistrustful of a conclusion drawn without a...

Microsoft is preparing a substantial set of Windows 11 feature updates that start arriving in staged preview channels now and should reach general users in the weeks ahead, bringing a mix of practical quality‑of‑life fixes, broader UI polish and an expanded set of AI-driven tools—some of which...

Microsoft released an out‑of‑band update on August 19, 2025—KB5066189—for Windows 11 devices on the 22621 and 22631 build families (OS Builds 22621.5771 and 22631.5771). The package is an optional, non‑security rollup that patches a regression introduced by the August 2025 monthly updates...

Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 cumulative update has been linked by multiple community tests and vendor advisories to a storage regression that, under specific conditions, can make some NVMe SSDs disappear during large sustained writes — risking data corruption or loss — and has reignited a...
