↑ List of Changes

↑ Phased Rollout

The following new features aren't available to all Insiders yet as they're being rolled out in stages.

• Default Apps:
  Microsoft is implementing minor changes to the "Set default" button for browser defaults, specifically for users in the European Economic Area (EEA).
  • New default browsers will now automatically handle additional registered file types and protocols.
  • The new default browser will be pinned to both the taskbar and Start menu unless you manually uncheck these options.
  • Added a dedicated button to quickly set a browser as the default PDF viewer if the browser supports this functionality.
• PC Migration:
  • Microsoft has begun rolling out a new PC-to-PC data transfer feature. Users will see a new start page and device pairing page in Windows Backup, offering a preview of upcoming changes.

↑ Available to All Users

• Windows Setup:
  • Administrators can now configure whether new devices should install critical updates during initial Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) setup.
• Auditing:
  • Fixed an issue where privilege use auditing generated excessive security event logs, which could fill system drives and prevent user logins.
• Authentication:
  • Resolved an issue where domain-joined Windows 11 22H2/23H2 devices couldn't update account passwords on Windows Server 2025 domain controllers, causing trust relationship problems.
• Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA):
  • Updated COSA profiles for select mobile operators.
• Remote Desktop:
  • Fixed an issue where Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections wouldn't work until device reboot.
• File Sharing:
  • Addressed an issue causing workstations and servers to become unresponsive when accessing SMB shared resources.
• Performance:
  • Fixed an issue where unused language packs and optional features (FODs) weren't completely removed, wasting disk space and increasing Windows update installation times.
• Windows Shell:
  • Resolved an issue where kiosk mode devices could become unresponsive after admin lock/unlock cycles.
• Windows Hello:
  • Fixed an issue where Windows Hello for Business wasn't automatically renewing expiring certificates.
• Windows Search:
