Windows 11 Insider features for September

Overview

  • Availability began September 30 via a controlled feature rollout to Windows 11 24H2 devices that enable the “Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available” toggle.
  • Version 25H2 is a sub‑200 KB enablement package that activates features already present in 24H2, with both releases sharing the same code base and servicing branch.
  • Most visible changes continue shipping in monthly updates, including KB5065789 for 24H2 that adds AI Actions in File Explorer, movable on‑screen hardware indicators, and a new Advanced Settings page.
  • Microsoft listed four known issues affecting some setups—DRM‑protected content playback, WUSA installation of .msu packages, SMBv1 over NetBT, and the Media Creation Tool on ARM64—with fixes planned in upcoming updates.
  • Enterprise highlights include Wi‑Fi 7 support and policy controls to remove select Store apps, availability via Windows Autopatch and the Microsoft 365 admin center, WSUS release on October 14, 2025, and a support‑lifecycle reset to 24 or 36 months upon upgrade.
