Overview
- Microsoft is now pushing Windows 11 version 25H2 to Home and Pro devices on 24H2 using an automated, machine-learning “intelligent rollout.”
- Users cannot opt out of the upgrade and can only choose when to restart or install it from Settings when it appears.
- PCs managed by an organization’s IT department are excluded from the automatic push for now.
- Microsoft cites its lifecycle plan that stops security and quality updates for Windows 11 version 24H2 on October 13, 2026.
- The company has not detailed what signals its system uses to decide a PC is ready, a gap that fuels concerns about transparency and control.
