- Windows 11 KB5079473 is rolling out to versions 24H2 and 25H2 with additions such as native Sysmon event capture, a taskbar internet speed test, Emoji 16, camera pan/tilt controls, a redesigned Widgets experience, and QMR auto‑enable on unmanaged Pro PCs.
- Microsoft notes a controlled feature rollout, so some Windows 11 devices will not see the new features immediately after installing the update.
- Reliability improvements in Windows 11 include faster, more dependable wake from sleep, File Explorer and search fixes, better taskbar overflow behavior, smoother high‑volume printing, and more responsive Windows Update settings.
- Windows 10 KB5078885 is available only to ESU‑enrolled and Enterprise LTSC devices, updating systems to builds 19045.7058 or 19044.7058 and addressing 79 vulnerabilities, including two actively exploited zero‑days.
- The Windows 10 update also fixes a GPU‑related stability bug, resolves a shutdown/hibernation issue on Secure Launch systems with VSM enabled, and expands deployment of Secure Boot 2023 certificates through phased, telemetry‑based targeting, with offline .msu installers offered for administrators.
