Microsoft Releases Windows 11 Version 24H2 Earlier Than Expected
Following the Patch Tuesday updates for Windows 10 and 11, Microsoft surprised many by releasing Windows 11 version 24H2 earlier than anticipated. The update, available under KB5039239, was not supposed to be out until later in the year.
It turns out that Microsoft decided to push the update early as Copilot+ PCs started to arrive, although it was later clarified that x86 systems were also technically compatible.
Additionally, Microsoft released a SafeOS dynamic update for Windows 11 24H2 to improve the Windows recovery environment (WinRE) and enhance device recovery in case of issues.

In a Techcommunity blog post, Microsoft provided more details about Dynamic Updates for Windows 10, explaining the various components and their importance. These updates include fixes to Setup.exe binaries, SafeOS updates for Windows Recovery Environment, and more.
