Howdy Folks! :-)

With all the chatter about problems with some of the current updates, I'd appreciate recommendations from those who know.

I have these 4 "On-Deck" ready to download and install:
  • Windows 11, version 25H2
  • 2025-09 .NET 8.0.20 Update for x64 Client (KB5066233)
  • 2025-09 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 24H2 for x64 (KB5064401)
  • Update for Windows Security platform - KB5007651 (Version 10.0.29429.1000)
TIA to all who read this and those offering comments/recommendations.
Cheers!
:cool:

@jdUnionngarden,

Besides a backup your current system, there is not much to be say.
I would maybe temporarily disable startup Apps/programs -and even that is optional.
Obviously the 25H2 jump is the most important one.
The other 3 are virus definitions , .NET updates & Security platform.
So let's go and get going.

Sorry, I didn't want to write a book (we all see the world from different POV); my main concern is this one:
"After installing the Windows security update released on October 14, 2025 (KB5066835), USB devices, such as keyboards and mice, do not function in the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). This issue prevents navigation of any of the recovery options within WinRE."

Thanks. Should I run just 25H2 first by itself?

But if you are hesitant, hold back, no one is forcing you.
But if you go ahead, let Windows install what it needs to install, there is really no user intervention needed.

Yep... use the Enablement package to go from 24H2 to 25H2... <--- I did this on Sept. 30th.
At least for me... 25H2 runs a lot better than 24H2.




Then install the Oct 14th and the Oct 20th updates.
The Oct 20th update fixes the issues with the Oct 14th update.



And... here's ten points for filling out your computer specs. :-)




I bought this old comp, for my internet romps
The wifey, she wanted one too
I got them to run, for our digital fun
With that ol' 25 - H2


Gimme that good old 25 - H2
Them that refuse it are few
I'll not yell and stomp if you fill up my comp
With that ol' 25 - H2


Our comps are fast, and we need them to last
I'm hoping, for one year or two
I grease up their parts, each day 'fore we start
With that ol' 25 - H2


Gimme that good old 25 - H2
Them that refuse it are few
I'll not yell and stomp if you fill up my comp
With that ol' 25 - H2






To the tune of...

    Still assembled, still runs. Haven't turned it on for 15 years?
I think that a patch has been put out about that issue affecting some systems.
But if you are hesitant, hold back, no one is forcing you.
But if you go ahead, let Windows install what it needs to install, there is really no user intervention needed.

That was one of the main points of the recent update:

[USB] Fixed: After installing the Windows security update released on October 14, 2025 (KB5066835), USB devices, such as keyboards and mice, do not function in the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). This issue prevents navigation of any of the recovery options within WinRE. Note that the USB devices continue to work normally within the Windows operating system.

It should be available by running Windows Update. If not, toggle on “Get updates as soon as they are available” like I had to.
