• Microsoft acknowledges inherited bugs, including intermittent DRM playback failures linked to Enhanced Video Renderer, with a fix expected in October 2025.
• Enterprises may encounter Windows Update Standalone Installer errors when deploying .msu files from network shares with duplicate file types, with a resolution planned in a future update.
• The Media Creation Tool no longer creates ARM64 installation media, though it continues to work for x86 builds.
