If you are using Windows 11 24H2 Insider in the Canary channel, you won’t see the build since it is already on build 26244.5000.
What’s new in the July 2024 security update for 24H2?
The KB5040435 update brings the improvements from the last month’s optional update.
Windows Installer will launch the UAC dialog box and ask for your credentials while repairing a file. If you think that it’s unnecessary, you can use the registry editor to disable it.
– Navigate to the “HKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsInstaller” path.
– Set the DisableLUAInRepair value data to 1.
– Restart your PC to apply the changes.
There were no other feature additions in the last update, so the official support document only mentions the following bug fixes:
– Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) failed to verify policies and incorrectly reported them as not active/unauthorized. This issue is patched now.
– DWM.exe, the executable file of Desktop Window Manager, stopped responding in previous builds but now works correctly.
Similarly, this update resolves issues with Unified Write Filter (UWF) and Input Method Editor (IME) in Windows 11.
