Note Follow @WindowsUpdate to find out when new content is published to the Windows release health dashboard.

Highlights

Gradual rollout​

These might not be available to all users because they will roll out gradually.
  • [Task Manager] Fixed: It might identify an HDD as an SSD.
  • [Taskbar] New! You can now share files directly from a jump list on the taskbar. Jump lists appear when you right-click an app that has a jump list

  • [Windows Spotlight]
    • New! There’s a quick and easy way to find out more information about a background image. Simply hover over the image or click the “Learn about this picture” icon.
    • New! This update makes Windows Spotlight easier to find. You’ll notice changes to the icon color and background. Also, the icon will show at the lower right area on your desktop.

  • [Lock screen] New! This update makes it easier to learn more about the image on your lock screen when you select the “Like” button.
  • [Narrator] New! There are new functions for Narrator scan mode. Skip past links (n) allows you to go to the text after a link. Use the comma (,) to jump to the start of an item (large table, long list, or another item.) Use the period (.) to jump to the end of an item. This is most helpful when you read long emails, news articles, and wiki pages. Jump to lists (l) allows you to quickly access a list on a web page or in a document. To use these new functions, turn on Narrator first (Windows logo key + Ctrl + Enter). Then turn scan mode on by pressing Caps lock + Spacebar. Note that scan mode is on by default on most web pages (like news articles, wiki page, and so on).

  • [Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers] New! Some of you might see a new referral card for a PC Game Pass subscription on the Settings home page. With it, you can invite friends and family to try a PC Game Pass for free. If you qualify, the card only appears when you sign in to your PC using your Microsoft account.

  • [File Explorer]
    • New! You can now snooze or turn off the “Start backup” reminder in the File Explorer address bar. This only applies if you are not already backing up your files and folder. To view this new option, right-click Start backup.

    • Fixed: Improves performance when it loads folders that have a large number of media files.
    • Fixed: When you enter a URL in the address bar, it might not go to the location.
    • Fixed: The address bar overlaps files when you use the F11 full-screen mode.
    • Fixed: The context menu opens slowly when you right-click cloud files.
    • Thumbnails for cloud files display more consistently in search results.
  • [HTML Help Viewer] New! This update adds text scaling support.
  • [Start menu] Fixed: The colors are wrong when you open the account manager flyout menu. This occurs when you use a mixed dark and light custom mode in Settings > Personalization > Colors.
  • [Scanners] Fixed: Apps might not recognize a scanner is available when it is connected.

I'm not sure that waiting would save you. :(
is there some kind of issue that could happen if you wait for the final release?

Not for me, so far.

But it sometimes feels like every update causes grief for a small fraction of Windows users.

Updated my laptop with the MSU file. All went well.
I updated 2 machines in R.P. channel with W.U.
Then I was tired of waiting for W.U. on the public build and decided to update 3 machines with the MSU from the catalog. Did not see anything different up to now. 🤞
But with MS we can always expect a new screwup, given that they pulled back that update from public build. 😵‍💫🤷‍♂️
Anyway, out of 5 machines only one ran the DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /SCANHEALTH clean. The other four found repairable components and had to run DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /RESTOREHEALTH to repair, long time at 62.3% while repairing and finally complete successfully.

As for SFC /SCANNOW, on 3 machines it found those reoccurring Bth files to repair, second pass ran clean.
Never got a clear answer from MS about this issue either. 🤣🤣

@CountMike

All this one was is just premature by less than 2 weeks. That's all. No drama.

If you don't consider reverting to an earlier backup on several machines with consequent loss of time and some irritation to recover from a messy little puddle as "drama" (sarc, as you know), then you're ok, Jack.

Still, it was released before it was ready ... so silly. To avoid all this, I'll run an incremental backup as routine just before installing any "O/S update". An obvious consequence.

This is how you install an update these days....

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For an update with no trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the update's in and done.


Stolen from Shakespeare's Macbeth (and slightly edited)
"Song of the Witches"

    Still assembled, still runs. Haven't turned it on for 15 years?
I still have not received this update from Windows Update even if I have the Get the latest updates as soon as they're available toggle turned on and I manually click the Check for updates button?

Not seeing it, inside Windows Update. Ahh, it was retired from Windows Update

"Preview" build ay? Aren't they all. Anyway, didn't show up on my main machine and I won't bother checking the other two as the last time I installed a "Preview" build on my main machine it thereafter would not install anymore Updates and I ended in a clean install to solve the problem after trying everything else.

I'll pass on these "Preview" builds anyway.
You are no fun.

You can download the MSU from the Microsoft Update Catalog, if you wish.

I have three Windows 11 computers, one using the Pro version and two using the Home version. After the update the Pro version would give me a warning that anything I would try to delete would be permanently deleted if I put it into the trash (which it did without emptying the trash). After I rebooted the computer deleting worked normally. No problems on y other two computers.

I still have not received this update from Windows Update even if I have the Get the latest updates as soon as they're available toggle turned on and I manually click the Check for updates button?
I did not receive either.

Today I removed that update what I manually installed and went into gpedit.msc [Local Group Policy Editor] and went into:
"Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Update Service/Manage updates offered by Windows Update"
You need to enable "Select when you want to receive quality updates".

When I went to Windows Update then as I searched for it the latest update came up.
This is how I can download the update.

Once you have done everything without any problems then you can restore these options in gpedit.msc to "not configured"


The best way, as we have written before, is to download manually from the windows update catalogue.
