Windows 11 consolidates updates into a single monthly reboot to cut interruptions

Microsoft says Windows 11 versions 24H2/25H2/26H1 will bundle driver updates, .NET updates, and firmware updates with the monthly security update, so a device restarts only once per month starting with July 28, 2026 updates and rolling out via August 14 Patch Tuesday. The bundled updates appear under Available updates and will install together on the monthly cycle; exceptions include Defender/AI/critical/expedited driver updates and emergency fixes that install immediately. Users can pause updates up to 35 days, and can restart earlier if desired. The change aims to reduce the long-standing multiple-restart interruptions of Windows Update.

The company also promises more transparency regarding driver updates.

AMD's Anti-Lag+ Feature Sparks Bans and Game Issues in Counter-Strike 2 and More

Counter-Strike 2 developers have warned players that enabling AMD's Anti-Lag feature in the game could result in automatic bans. The feature, introduced in the Adrenaline Edition version 23.30.1 driver for Radeon RX 7000-series GPUs, has also been reported to cause bans and game crashes in other titles like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, CoD: Warzone 2, and Apex Legends. AMD is working on identifying affected users and reversing their bans, while players can disable the feature by pressing Alt+L.
