Dell devices

Microsoft has halted the rollout of the Windows 11 July update for select Dell devices due to issues from the June preview update, which caused overheating and unexpected shutdowns. The June 23, 2026, preview update (KB5095093) led to problems such as unexpected shutdowns, decreased performance, increased heat generation, and accelerated battery drain for some Dell machines. The July update, which contains the same problematic code, is not optional, prompting Microsoft to pause its release for affected devices until a resolution is found. Users of impacted Dell models can continue with Windows Update without downloading the flawed update.
