Microsoft Leak Reveals New Windows 11 Hotpatching Feature

Upcoming Windows 11 update aims to reduce reboots with in-memory security patches.

  • Hotpatching allows updates without restarting the system, improving workflow continuity.
  • Feature will be included in Windows 11 version 24H2, expected later this year.
  • Only Windows 11 users will benefit; Windows 10 users must still reboot for updates.
  • Reboots will still be required after every third update, despite hotpatching.
  • The leak has raised anticipation for smoother, less disruptive updates.
