In a notable move this week, Microsoft rolled out its Patch Tuesday updates for June 2025, targeting both Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems. The updates for Windows 10 include KB5060533, KB5060531, KB5061010, and KB5060998, while Windows 11 sees updates KB5060842 and KB5060999. Interestingly, this month’s release did not feature dynamic updates for Windows 11, a deviation from the usual pattern.
Dynamic Updates Enhance Windows Recovery
The dynamic updates introduced this month focus on enhancing the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE), commonly referred to as Safe OS updates. These updates also encompass improvements to the Setup binaries, ensuring a smoother deployment process for existing Windows images.
Designed to be integrated into Windows images before deployment, these Dynamic Update packages include essential fixes for Setup.exe binaries and SafeOS updates for the recovery environment. Notably, they also play a crucial role in preserving Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. For instance, VBScript is currently categorized as an FOD on Windows 11 24H2.
