QuoteWindows 11, version 25H2 is an enablement update that builds on the features of 24H2 by enabling new, "continuous innovation" features, rather than introducing entirely new features itself. Key updates include a Braille Viewer for the Narrator, improvements to Click-to-Do (including a new "Convert to Table" feature), support for plug-in credential managers for passkeys, and enhancements to the mobile device companion experience. Microsoft is also implementing IT admin-focused features like the ability to remove pre-installed Store apps and a new Quick Machine Recovery system to reduce downtime.
For Users
Accessibility
The Narrator now includes a Braille Viewer, allowing users to see the braille equivalent of on-screen text on a refreshable braille display.
Passkeys
Users can now utilize plug-in credential managers for setting up and using passkeys, offering improved security and management.
Time & Language
Ported settings from the Control Panel to the Settings app, including configuring additional clocks and changing the NTP time server.

Click-to-Do
New AI features for Click-to-Do are included, such as a new "Convert to Table" capability for converting text to an Excel table and more flexible selection methods.
For IT Administrators
Quick Machine Recovery
This new feature in the recovery system aims to reduce downtime and simplifies the process for recovering a system, according to PCMag.

Key identifiers, such as the KB number and build or version, are retained to help you quickly recognize each update.
Windows Secure Boot Certificate Expiration
Important: Secure Boot certificates used by most Windows devices are set to expire starting in June 2026. This could affect the ability of certain personal and business devices to boot securely if not updated in time. To avoid disruption, we recommend reviewing the guidance and taking steps to update the certificates in advance.
