Microsoft has released Windows 11 version 25H2 (Build 26200.5074) in the Release Preview Channel, focusing on security enhancements rather than major changes. The update removes PowerShell 2.0 and WMIC due to security vulnerabilities. IT administrators can remove pre-installed Microsoft default applications via Group Policy or MDM CSP on Enterprise and Education devices. The update uses an enablement package (eKB) for delivery, activating features already embedded in machines running version 24H2 with a simple restart. Both versions share the same servicing branch, allowing for efficient annual feature updates. The support timelines have been reset, with Enterprise and Education editions on a 36-month cycle and Pro editions on a 24-month cycle.
