UPDATE: Microsoft has just announced that all supported PCs can now download and install Windows 11 25H2. This urgent development allows users on both Windows 10 and Windows 11 to upgrade to the latest feature update, provided their systems meet the necessary requirements.
Recent reports highlight significant issues with both Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2, particularly affecting enterprise environments. Key user interface components, including the Start menu, Explorer, and Taskbar, are reportedly experiencing failures. Fortunately, home users are less impacted by these problems. However, even personal computers may encounter issues such as dark mode artifacts, which Microsoft is working to address.
This latest update is crucial as Microsoft had previously confirmed that users of the now unsupported Windows 11 23H2 version could also transition to 25H2. Users eager to upgrade can do so by ensuring the “Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available” toggle is enabled in their Windows Update settings.
Microsoft clearly states, “If you have an eligible Windows 10 or Windows 11 device, you can check if the update is available by selecting Settings and then Check for updates.” If your device is ready, you will see the option to download and install Windows 11, version 25H2.
For those managing enterprise PCs, there are additional requirements to be aware of, particularly concerning new AI features that have been introduced.
It’s essential for users to act quickly to ensure their systems are prepared for the transition. This upgrade not only enhances performance but also brings crucial updates that improve overall system security and user experience.
Stay tuned for more updates as Microsoft continues to refine these versions and address any outstanding issues.
