Overview
- Microsoft released the optional KB5079391 update for Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2, moving devices to builds 26100.8116 and 26200.8116 with features rolling out in phases.
- You can now toggle Smart App Control in Windows Security without reinstalling Windows, restoring control over the app‑blocking tool after a paused rollout earlier this year.
- Display support improves with recognition of refresh rates above 1,000 Hz, more reliable HDR, and native USB4 monitor connections for newer high‑refresh screens.
- File Explorer gets fixes that make unblocking internet downloads work more reliably, add voice typing to rename fields, and allow sorting in Advanced Security Settings permissions.
- The update is opt‑in via Windows Update unless the early‑updates toggle is enabled, offline .msu installers are available, Microsoft reports no known issues, and the changes are slated for the April 14 cumulative release.
