Highlights

Gradual rollout​

A gradual rollout distributes a release update over a period of time, rather than all at once. This means that users receive the updates at different times, and it might not be immediately available to all users. To see the status of this feature, go to Windows release health dashboard.
  • [App defaults]
    • New! We are rolling out some small changes in the European Economic Area (EEA) region for default browsers through the Set default button in Settings > Apps > Default apps:
      • Additional file and link types will be set for the new default browser, if it registers them.
      • The new default browser will be pinned to the Taskbar and Start menu unless you choose not to pin it by clearing the checkboxes.
      • There is now a separate one-click button for browsers to change your .pdf default, if the browser registers for the .pdf file type.
  • [Click to Do (Preview)] New! Ask Microsoft 365 Copilot is a new action in Click to Do on Copilot+ PCs. Use it to send text or images to Microsoft 365 Copilot, which will respond to your questions. The Ask Microsoft 365 Copilot action requires a Microsoft 365 license and follows your organization’s privacy policies.

  • [Narrator]
    • New! The Screen Curtain feature in Narrator helps protect your privacy and improve focus by blacking out the screen while Narrator reads content aloud. This is especially helpful in public or shared spaces, where you can work with sensitive information without others seeing your screen. To turn on Narrator, press Ctrl + Windows + Enter. Then press Caps Lock + Ctrl + C to turn on Screen Curtain. While it’s on, you can use Narrator as usual with the screen hidden. Press Caps Lock + Ctrl + C again to turn it off.

    • New! Narrator makes it easier to discover and learn about its features directly within the experience. Whether you're new or exploring advanced options, Narrator will guide you through the latest updates using a series of steps and prompts that explain each new feature and change.
  • [PC Migration] New! The PC-to-PC migration experience in Windows is starting to roll out. You’ll begin to see the landing and the pairing page in the Windows Backup app, giving you a first look at what’s coming. In the full experience, you’ll be able to transfer files and settings from an old PC to a new one during setup. Support for this feature during PC setup will arrive in a future update. The rollout is being introduced in phases to support a smooth experience.
  • [Settings]
    • New! The Settings homepage managed by IT admins now includes cards tailored for enterprise use. These include familiar options like "Recommended settings" and "Bluetooth devices" along with other new cards for device info and accessibility preferences. If a user signs in with both a work or school account and Microsoft account, an additional account card appears to show both account types.

    • New! The country or region selected during device setup now appears under Settings > Time & language > Language & region.

    • Fixed: The storage card in Settings > System > About shows an incorrect or unreadable character instead of the proper disk size.
  • [Taskbar & System Tray]
    • New! The taskbar now resizes icons to fit more apps when space runs low, keeping everything visible and easy to access. You can adjust how icons appear in settings—reduce icon size only when the taskbar is full (default), keep icons at their original size at all times by selecting Never, or use smaller icons all the time by selecting Always. To change this setting, right-click an empty area on the taskbar, select Taskbar settings, expand the Taskbar behaviors section, and choose your preference under Show smaller taskbar buttons.

    • New! In addition to the new grouping of the Accessibility menu in Quick settings, there are text descriptions for the assistive technologies like Narrator, Voice access, and more for easier identification and learning.
    • New! Adjusted the indicator (pill) under taskbar apps to make it wider and more visible.
    • Fixed: WIN + CTRL + Number doesn't work anymore for switching windows of an open app in the taskbar.
    • Fixed: When using taskbar in Windows, the media controls that appear in the preview windows for apps might unexpectedly flicker.
  • [Voice Access]
    • New! You can now use Voice access to navigate, dictate, and interact with Windows using voice commands in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese.
    • New! You can add custom words to the dictionary in voice access. The feature will be available in all the currently supported voice access languages.

  • [Windows Share]
    • New! When you share links or web content using the Windows share window, you'll see a visual preview for that content.

    • New! In the Windows share window, you can select a compression level—High, Medium, or Low Quality—when editing and sharing images, instead of selecting from a 0–100 scale.

  • [Color] Improved: Adjusted the location of the intensity and color boost sliders under Settings > Accessibility > Color Filters, so the color previews at the top of the page remain visible while adjusting the sliders.
  • [File Explorer] Improved: Performance has been enhanced when extracting archive files - this will particularly help in the case of copy pasting large numbers of files out of large 7z or .rar archives.
  • [Graphics]
    • Improved: Made underlying changes to enhance display related user experiences, including reducing screen flashing during certain display configuration transitions and eliminating unnecessary display resets that occurred in some cases.
    • Fixed: Some displays might be unexpectedly green.
    • Fixed: If User Account Control (UAC) is set to Always Notify and the button under Settings > System > Display color calibration is selected for your display and canceled, Settings will stop responding.
  • [Input] Fixed: Typing in Japanese with the touch keyboard might stop working after switching to typing with an English keyboard and then switching back.
  • [MSFTEdit.dll] Fixed: Some apps like Sticky Notes and dxdiag might stop responding when the display language is set to Arabic or Hebrew display.
  • [Quick Settings] Fixed: The top three buttons in the top row don’t respond when selecting to enable or disable them.
  • [Printing] Fixed: Printed lines might be unexpectedly thicker than expected.
  • [Scripting] Fixed: Running a script on a remote Server Message Block (SMB) share might take an unexpectedly long time if the share is hosted on an older Windows Server version like Windows Server 2019.
  • [Windowing]
    • Fixed: When you press ALT + Tab to switch out of a full screen game, other windows like Windows Terminal might stop responding.
    • Fixed: An underlying issue might lead to unexpected changes to window size and position after sleep and resume on some devices.
    • Fixed: Explorer.exe might stop working unexpectedly when a window is dragged, if window snapping is enabled.

Improvements

This non-security update includes quality improvements. The following summary outlines key issues addressed by the KB after you install it. Also, included are available new features. The bold text within the brackets indicates the item or area of the change.

Normal rollout

  • [Copilot] Fixed: Improved the Copilot key’s reliability and resolved an issue that prevented users from restarting Copilot after using the key.
  • [Performance] Fixed: This update addresses an issue to maintain efficiency of Storage Spaces Direct (S2D). When running complex software defined data center (SDDC) related workflows, it’s possible the system might become unresponsive.
  • [Storage optimization] Fixed: An issue that prevented unused language packs and Feature on Demand packages from being fully removed, which led to unnecessary storage use and longer Windows Update installation times.
  • [Windows Hello] Fixed: This update addresses an issue that prevented the automatic renewal of expiring certificates in Windows Hello for Business.
  • [Windows Search]
    • Fixed: Windows Search responds very slowly—Search can take over 10 seconds to load before you can use it.
    • Fixed: This update enhances the reliability of Windows Search and resolves an issue that prevented users from typing in Windows Search in some cases.
If you installed earlier updates, your device downloads and installs only the new updates contained in this package.

Windows 11 servicing stack update (KB5062862)- 26100.4484​

This update makes quality improvements to the servicing stack, which is the component that installs Windows updates. Servicing stack updates (SSU) ensure that you have a robust and reliable servicing stack so that your devices can receive and install Microsoft updates. To learn more about SSUs, see Simplifying on-premises deployment of servicing stack updates.

Known issues in this update

1 Noto fonts issue

Applies to: All users

Symptom

There are reports of blurry or unclear CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) text when displayed at 96 DPI (100% scaling) in Chromium-based browsers such as Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. The March 2025 Preview Update introduced Noto fonts in collaboration with Google, for CJK languages as fallbacks to improve text rendering when websites or apps don’t specify appropriate fonts. The issue is due to limited pixel density at 96 DPI, which can reduce the clarity and alignment of CJK characters. Increasing the display scaling improves clarity by enhancing text rendering.

Workaround

As a temporary workaround, increase your display scaling to 125% or 150% to improve text clarity. For more information, see Change your screen resolution and layout in Windows.

We are investigating this issue and will provide more information when it is available.

How to get this update

Before you install this update

Microsoft combines the latest servicing stack update (SSU) for your operating system with the latest cumulative update (LCU). For general information about SSUs, see Servicing stack updates and Servicing Stack Updates (SSU): Frequently Asked Questions.

DISM /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:c:\packages\Windows11.0-KB5060829-x64.msu

Or, run the following command from an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt:

Add-WindowsPackage -Online -PackagePath "c:\packages\Windows11.0-KB5060829-x64.msu"

Or use Windows Update Standalone Installer to install the target update.

  1. windows11.0-kb5043080-x64_953449672073f8fb99badb4cc6d5d7849b9c83e8.msu
  2. windows11.0-kb5060829-x64_3d5a5f9ef20fc35cc1bd2ccb08921ee8713ce622.msu
1 This latest cumulative update includes updates for AI components. Even though the AI component updates are included in the update, the AI components are only applicable to Windows Copilot+ PCs and will not install on Windows PC or Windows Server.

If you want to remove the LCU

To remove the LCU after installing the combined SSU and LCU package, use the DISM/Remove-Package command line option with the LCU package name as the argument. You can find the package name by using this command: DISM /online /get-packages.

Running Windows Update Standalone Installer (wusa.exe) with the /uninstall switch on the combined package will not work because the combined package contains the SSU. You cannot remove the SSU from the system after installation.

Yes - you have that right. The certs are valid until June 2026 and home users need do nothing other than enable secure boot and allow Windows updates to update the certs.

Just wow! It happens sometimes, yes. I wonder why... it's truly "ridiculous"; I'd like to hear the opinion of an expert, perhaps a Microsoft programmer. So... from personal experience

Not addressing your question directly, just my own commentary on the topic:

Yet again, this is just the two Bluetooth files. Why is everyone so hell bent on this? I have yet to ever see a single shred of evidance that this causes ANY problem in the real world. In fact, I NEVER even bother to check the system files on my system unless I have a problem.

Why the huge concern over what appears to be a big nothing-burger? Move on with your day and ignore this!

Ok, let the flaming begin if you must, but that's my opinion. I have too many "real" issues to deal with that prevent me from using the precious time left on this side of the dirt addressing something that I cannot control anyway.

Not addressing your question directly, just my own commentary on the topic:

Yet again, this is just the two Bluetooth files. Why is everyone so hell bent on this? I have yet to ever see a single shred of evidance that this causes ANY problem in the real world. In fact, I NEVER even bother to check the system files on my system unless I have a problem.

Why the huge concern over what appears to be a big nothing-burger? Move on with your day and ignore this!

Ok, let the flaming begin if you must, but that's my opinion. I have too many "real" issues to deal with that prevent me from using the precious time left on this side of the dirt addressing something that I cannot control anyw
So true! I hear of no one complaining about BT problems. So forget it.

But in fact it is only from personal experience. To each update, from how I was taught in this forum, I perform a
Code:
SFC /Scannow
and then delete the residual files with
Code:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /Startcomponentcleanup
.

If there are those Bluetooth files or not, nothing changes to me. 😊

I repeat: my comment about the fg2001gf11F post, it was only for cultural purposes. Let's say I love to study: let's put it in this way.

Who taught you to run start component clean up after a windows update? The only cmd commands that you have to run after each update, are sfc /scannow and the dism scan and check health. And only if there is an issue found, then you have to run: a) dism restore health, then b) sfc/ scannow, c) restart your PC and d) rerun sfc.
So, running this start component clean up is wrong. There is a built-in feature in windows task scheduler, which executes this command as a task once every month.
It's not you job to do so. It is automatically set by Windows itself to clean up the win sxs folder, without your intervention.
So maybe, this is the answer about if you are facing some general issues, that other users don't. Do not mess with it. Only if there is a serious problem regarding windows update.
And yes if you are going to say about restore health which always has a delay in running then I totally agree. Just be patient. It happens to the most of the win 11 users. Just be patient and wait about 20 minutes. You will see that it will finish by itself.
I just mentioned it, in case you think that restore health has a delay but this doesn't mean that you have to run the dism start component clean up.
So you only need sfc and dism scan, check and restore health commands.

I have performed dism component cleanup and restorebase after an update for a very long time to reduce the size of my backups, which I do after before and after every update and cleanup. I have never ever run into an issue. There is nothing wrong with doing it especially if you do backups (for resetbase).

I wrote above that it is wrong because it is automatically scheduled to run by Microsoft itself every month. So, there is no need to run it manually. I am also using restore points in my C 500GB drive and I always have 180 GB free at least. Therefore the aforementioned task cleans up win sxs without having me to worry.
In addition if you say that you do so in order to reduce your drive's size, then you have to buy a bigger one.

"wrong" is not the correct word. Rather, it is "not necessary". There is nothing "wrong" with doing something that takes a minute instead of waiting for the OS to do it in a month or whenever. It doesn't cause "general issues, that other users don't". The user running it at an arbitrary instance in time is basically the same as the system running at some arbitrary period like a month. There is nothing magical about when it is run or by whom, so there is no reason to be judgemental about it,

As I said I do it to reduce the size of my backups, not my drive. I do this to reduce the backup time and to be able to store more backups on my hard drive. I have plenty of space on my system drive and overall.

Do not stick at the word "wrong", because the meaning is the same. The PC is yours, so it's up to you to do it manually or let the system to do it by itself. Personally I prefer not to mess with this task.
I agree that it's safe but no necessary. That's all.
Sfc scannow and dism check and scan and restore health (if needed) are the only mandatory commands to run.

Yes my friend. I tried to explain it to you, so as not to interfere so much with your system. Ok it's safe, but it doesn't need to do so. This is what I do since 2010.
But as you wish. If you want to run it together with the other mandatory commands, then it's up to you.

Does anybody know why this stupid
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /Startcomponentcleanup
completes successfully after running to 70%? I have seen this behaviour many times after upgrading from win 11 23H2 to win 11 24h2... But never in win 11 23h2!!!
Sometimes, though, this dism command succeeds to run till 100% as I can remember from my previous experience.
In the picture below you can also see that Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase was successfully completed at 70%.
I also ran this Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase at noon and the command completed successfully at 100%!
Now it is shown as successfully completed at 70%...
Everything else works fine (sfc and dism health commands as well)...
SO....
I have already read via different sites / forums that this behaviour (regarding these 2 reclaimable packages) is normal and it is due to win 11 24h2 bugs.
A lot of users have this behaviour to their system as well, so I do not think there is something else that I can do..Just to ignore it, since everything is fine here.
What's your opinion on this?
