 Windows Experience Blog:

Windows is essential for more than a billion people to connect, learn, play and work, and today we are announcing the availability of the Windows 11 2025 Update (also known as Windows 11, version 25H2). This year’s annual feature update (version 25H2) will continue the recent Windows feature update trend of being delivered in an optimized way using servicing technology. So, let me share details on version 25H2, explain how to get it, and provide information for commercial and education customers.

Current status as of May 15, 2026

Windows 11, version 25H2 is now available for all eligible devices. Devices running Home and Pro editions of Windows 11 that are not managed by IT departments will receive the update to Windows 11, version 25H2 through the machine learning-based intelligent rollout.

Updates are delivered when devices are ready, helping keep devices running smoothly and securely while ensuring they stay up to date with the latest protections. You can choose when to restart or postpone the update, and no action is required to receive it.

If you have an eligible Windows 10 or Windows 11 device, and you don’t want to wait for the intelligent rollout, go to Settings > Windows Update and select Check for updates. If your device is ready for the update, you’ll see the option to Download and install Windows 11, version 25H2.

A streamlined, lean and security-focused update​

Windows 11, version 25H2 will be delivered as an enablement package (eKB). This means that it contains all the recently announced features in Windows 11, version 24H2. Both versions use a shared code base and servicing branch, streamlining the update. It also means that you’ll continue to see new features released to Windows via monthly updates as part of our continuous innovation model.

As part of the Microsoft Secure Future Initiative commitment, Windows continues iterating and improving its security features and posture to help protect customers from security threats in our software and services. Version 25H2 includes significant advancements in build and runtime vulnerability detection, coupled with AI assisted secure coding. We’ve designed version 25H2 to address and mitigate security threats in adherence to a robust security development lifecycle (SDL) policy and requirements.

Version 25H2 is also leaner due to removed legacy features such as PowerShell 2.0 and Windows Management Instrumentation command-line (WMIC).

How to get it​

Windows 11, version 25H2 will be delivered using servicing technology (like that used for the monthly update process), providing a fast and reliable installation experience. Availability begins today via a controlled feature rollout for eligible devices running Windows 11, version 24H2 for users who have already turned on the “Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available” toggle. If we detect that your device may have an issue, such as an application or driver incompatibility, we may put a safeguard hold in place and not offer the update until that issue is resolved. We will expand the rollout breadth over the next few months and share more information on the Windows release health hub. For more information on ways to get the update, watch this video.

Staying protected and productive​

As always, I recommend that you update your devices to this latest version of Windows 11, which provides you with the latest features, security improvements and control. We will closely monitor the update and share timely information on the rollout status and any known issues (open and resolved) across both feature and monthly updates via the Windows release health hub and @WindowsUpdate. Please continue to tell us about your experience by providing comments or suggestions via Feedback Hub.

1 Feature parity begins with the November 2025 security update. Windows 11 eligible devices on Windows 11, version 23H2 (and earlier versions) require a full operating system (OS) swap to update to Windows 11, version 25H2.

I got it today through WU, 25H2 26200.6899. It didn't fix the Netwtw event 6062 warning or the TPM-WMI event 1796 error. SFC and DISM found no errors, but as I have learned, that doesn't necessarily mean everything is ok. Only time will tell if everything is ok or not. :cool:

I wrote a Gradual Rollout list. Some features are enabled by default in the latest security updates. However, there are still some features that Microsoft does not seem to plan to rollout in the public version immediately. I really like the new features of the snipping tool. Fast text extractor and annotation is very useful features.

Code: 
⌈Gradual Rollout⌋👌 [Taskbar] New! Show jump list when hovering on inactive taskbar apps.
⌈Gradual Rollout⌋👌 [File Explorer] New! New Open Files in a New Tab in the same Window.
⌈Gradual Rollout⌋👌 [File Explorer] New! Improvements to the dark mode experience in File Explorer starting with key actions like copy, move, and delete dialogs.
⌈Gradual Rollout⌋👌 [Desktop] New! You can now move the hardware indicators for brightness, volume, airplane mode, and virtual desktops to different positions on your screen. To change their position, go to Settings > System > Notifications, and then pick from the options in the Position of the onscreen pop-up in the dropdown list.
⌈Gradual Rollout⌋👌 [Snap] New! We are introducing an improvement to Snap in Windows 11 aimed at driving contextual learning and discovery of the feature. Inline messaging will now appear when you accidentally invoke the Snap Bar when dragging an app to the top middle of your desktop or Snap Flyout when hovering over the Minimize or Maximize button of an app. This messaging is designed to provide guidance on snapping app windows and educating users on the keyboard shortcuts for quickly snapping app windows in the future. We are trying several variants of this experience out.
⌈Gradual Rollout⌋👌 [Administrator Protection Preview] New! Administrator protection aims to protect free floating admin rights for administrator users allowing them to still perform all admin functions with just-in-time admin privileges. This feature is off by default and needs to be enabled via OMA-URI in Intune or via group policy.
⌈Gradual Rollout⌋👌 [Drag Tray] New! Drag Tray is a flyout that appears at the top edge of the screen with different options for sharing a file.
⌈Gradual Rollout⌋👌 [Drag Tray] New! Drag Tray now supports multi-file sharing, intelligently surfaces more relevant apps, and enables seamless file movement to a chosen folder.
⌈Gradual Rollout⌋👌 [Windows Share] New! You can find apps installed on your PC or apps available in the Microsoft Store directly within the Windows share window using “Find Apps” under the “Share using” section.
⌈Gradual Rollout⌋👌 [Start menu] New! Introducing the new Start menu for Windows 11. Updated Start menu shows pinned apps on the top, recommended apps and files in the middle, and installed apps which are grouped by a new category UI on the bottom.
⌈Gradual Rollout⌋👌 [Snipping Tool] New! Snipping tool capture toolbar with the cursor hovering over the new【Text Extractor】tool. We are adding text extractor in the Snipping Tool capture bar – designed to minimize the number of steps it takes to copy text to your clipboard without having to take a screenshot of your screen.
⌈Gradual Rollout⌋👌 [Snipping Tool] New! The Win + Shift + T shortcut activates the Snipping Tool's text extractor in Windows 11, which allows you to select and copy text directly from the screen without taking a full screenshot.
⌈Gradual Rollout⌋👌 [Snipping Tool] New! Snipping Tool's screen capture and perfect screenshot capturing a specific area of the screen. We're introducing two new features to Snipping Tool - perfect screenshot and color picker.
⌈Gradual Rollout⌋👌 [Snipping Tool] New! Snipping Tool playback app window toolbar with the cursor hovering over the new【Export GIF】tool. We are adding GIF export for screen recordings – designed to boost your productivity and turn quick captures into shareable moments.
⌈Gradual Rollout⌋👌 [Snipping Tool] New! Snipping Tool Capture Toolbar with the cursor hovering over the new Quick markup tool. We're introducing Quick markup – a faster way to annotate your screenshots and streamline your workflow!
⌈Gradual Rollout⌋👌 [Windows] Improvements and features rolled out gradually in the security cumulative updates from KB5043080 (26100.1742) to KB5066835 (26100.6899).


Some features may not be listed. because there are some gradually rolling out features that default by enabled in the latest update.

In fact, it has been shown and mentioned in previous articles. And these changes can be found in Microsoft's release notes. like [Windows Share] New! When you drag a local file from File Explorer or your desktop, a tray appears at the top of your screen. Drop the file into a suggested app or select More to open the Windows share window. May 28, 2025 - KB5058499 (OS Build 26100.4202) Preview

I'm not going to spend a ton of time trying to find every single one of these. It's just not worth it.

Not sure what happened but my Intel Gen7 work station mysteriously upgraded itself to 25H2 all on its own. This was an untweaked legitimate local account, no muss, no fuss, and no Rufus. I suppose it's just as well as now I can start surgery on Co-Pilot and all those things I know I'll never use.

Gave Dell touch screen with Windows 11 to daughter and got me an OTVOC. Being a PC builder I own many desktop PCs as well. I am a father of five providing PCs, laptops, and tablets for all my family, most of which I have modified, rebuilt, or simply built from scratch. I do not own a cell phone, never have, never will.

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

Can anyone explain a few things please...

1) can't log in with Nord VPN enabled - the login window will not show - is that not weird?

2) modern win 11 Asus laptop will not update to 25H2

2) can't add a picture till you again turn off VPN

Machine last updated via Win updates in Sept 2024 running Win 23H2, and was offering 25H2 - but I decided (at the time) to update to Dec 2024 last offerings of Win 24Hwotever it is - and when that got over itself, I will update on another reboot to 25H2 (especially as according to Microsoft Dec 2024 version of Win 24H-wotever, it is the 25H2 codebase anyway)

that worked perfectly on three machines but will not do it on the Asus
when I got home to play on another machine, I find on an HP, the link below the normal "win update encouragement button" will not work - turned out the link it had to 25H2 was an old one sitting there as they forgot to update it - click get all the latest mistakes and wreck the machine - and the link updates to become a functioning one - and magically 25H2 went straight on

back on the Asus, nothing now will get the 25H2 link to display - waited upon Jan updates - still no link - toggled on off the get latest, no change, then had to install both Jan OOB patches and still no link, flashed a new "Dec 2025 Bios" that showed up in late January on the Asus site.... No change - read this forum over and over, read pointless microsoft pages over and over - and against better judgement as it leaves it looking nasty and other weirdness

Ran the 25H2 enablement package - this did what it does - and this is the main point of my Post. It did exactly the same thing on multiple version of win 10 over the years - it doesn't place a correct Feature reference in the Update History

it just places the KBxxxxxxx package info in the std list of updates - And on Win 10 all future Win updates refer to the Old Version of Windows the machine was running....

so you don't get this below - why not? and why don't they fix things so it does ?



no feature update message.webp
