modular updates

Modular updates are a key part of how Microsoft delivers new features and improvements to Windows 11 outside of major version releases. These updates, often distributed through the Microsoft Store or as targeted component updates like KB5065500, allow for incremental changes to specific system components such as AI image processing or advanced settings panels. By decoupling feature updates from the main OS update cycle, modular updates enable faster iteration and more granular control over what gets installed. This approach is increasingly used for Copilot+ PC features and other hardware-accelerated capabilities, reflecting a shift toward a more flexible and componentized Windows update strategy.
