Overview

  • Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200.6584) is available via Windows Update for devices set to receive updates early, as well as through ISO and the Media Creation Tool.
  • The update installs as a small enablement package on systems already running 24H2 because both versions share the same codebase and servicing branch.
  • Notable additions include enterprise Wi‑Fi 7 support, AI actions in File Explorer, window video capture in Snipping Tool, and Click‑to‑Do refinements, with certain AI features limited to Copilot+ PCs.
  • Microsoft removed legacy tools PowerShell 2.0 and WMIC, and upgrading to 25H2 resets support to two years for Home/Pro and three years for Enterprise/Education editions.
  • Distribution is staged globally with WSUS availability on October 14, and Microsoft has flagged early issues such as DRM playback failures in some Blu‑ray/DVD apps and an MSU-related update error, so administrators are advising caution for production deployments.
