Still no update via WU for me. Being this a new installation on a new PC I'll wait, otherwise I would update it via the catalog though I've gone that way only once in my old W11 PC.

It's unlikely it will be before 11th. If KB is still available, that means it hasn't been pulled back.

That's usual for 3rd party AVs, and programs that mess with system.What do you need Avast for, what's wrong with Defender ? That may be the reason you didn't get update thru WU.

I think you are right, that could be the reason I didn't get the update, I'm using Avast just for practice and I know where and how set it up for my needs, maybe I'll give up with it.

The response you already received is correct, but just to clarify this because it may help you in the future...

Unlike previous versions of Windows, 24H2 now has the concept of "Checkpoint" and "Incremental Differential" updates.

KB5043080 is a checkpoint update that would be installed on any 24H2 build PRIOR to 26100.1742. If you are already on build 26100.1742 or newer, then KB5052093 will update you to build 26100.3323.

TIP: When in doubt, it is perfectly fine to attempt installing both updates. Start with the older update (KB5043080) first. If you are already on build 26100.1742 or newer you will simply get an error when you try to install it like this:

Image1.webp

So, it won't hurt anything to try. In that case, simply move on to the incremental differential update (KB5052093).

No, one is for x64 based systems (Intel/AMD) and the other is for Arm64 systems (Qualcom Snapdragon). Use the appropriate one for your system.

    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 below to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    My SYSTEM THREE is a Dell Latitude 5410, i7-10610U, 32GB RAM, 512GB NVMe ssd, supported device running Windows 11 Pro.

Bree brings up a really good point:

There are two different places where you will see two updates. The first is the selection of either the x64 or Arm64 version of the update as Bree indicated. When you search the Update Catalog, that will look like this:

Next, when you click the "Download" button, you will see two available downloads. Those are the Checkpoint and Incremental Differential updates like this:

#CFR Key: 2224106123, 372314253 > [Task Manager] New! We are beginning to roll out a change to the way Task Manager calculates CPU utilization for the Processes, Performance, and Users pages. Task Manager will now use the standard metrics to display CPU workload consistently across all pages and aligning with industry standards and third-party tools. For backward compatibility, a new optional column called CPU Utility is available (hidden by default) on the Details tab showing the previous CPU value used on the Processes page.
