Windows 11’s annual ’25H2′ update arrives today, and it’s a weird one

Here is a 174-word summary of the news article: Windows 11's annual "25H2" update is being released today, but it's a bit different from previous major updates. Instead of introducing a slew of new features, this update is more of an "enablement package" that unlocks features that were already announced for the current 24H2 version. The update streamlines the update process by having a shared codebase and servicing branch between the two versions. This means users on 24H2 will also get the new features, like the updated Start menu, without having to move to 25H2. While 25H2 may not have many visible changes, it does contain important under-the-hood improvements. These include enhanced security features, vulnerability detection, and the removal of legacy components like PowerShell 2.0. The staggered rollout of 25H2 begins today. Users can check Windows Update settings to get the update as soon as it's available. Microsoft's shift to a "continuous innovation model" means major Windows updates will now come more frequently throughout the year.
