Microsoft’s Windows 11 2025 update, also known as Windows 11 25H2, starts rolling out today, September 30, 2025. This update does not introduce major new features.
Update Overview
The Windows 11 2025 update is described by Microsoft as an “enablement package.” It includes features that were added in the previous year’s 24H2 release. The update aims to encourage users who have not yet adopted recent updates to engage with new Windows 11 capabilities.
In addition to the previously mentioned features, Microsoft states that the update includes significant advancements in build and runtime vulnerability detection. It also incorporates AI-assisted secure coding. The update is designed to be more streamlined, as it removes PowerShell 2.0 and Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC), which are legacy features that most users do not utilize.
Deployment and Future Updates
Microsoft will deliver the Windows 11 2025 update in waves. The initial group of users includes those with 24H2 devices who have enabled the “Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available” option in Windows Update. Microsoft plans to introduce actual new features for Windows 11 25H2 in the coming months, following its shift to a more frequent update schedule.
