Windows 11 KB5101684 boosts performance and offers offline installer links

Microsoft's Windows 11 KB5101684 is an optional 'D' release (2026-07 Preview Update) that brings performance and reliability tweaks—improved Start menu behavior, explorer/taskbar responsiveness, and smarter File Explorer/file-size displays—along with a smarter Windows Search and other quality-of-life fixes. Direct download links for offline installers (.msu) are provided (about 5.3 GB for x64 and 4.9 GB for ARM64). If Windows Update fails, the Update Catalog can be used to install across multiple PCs. The update won’t auto-install unless the “Get the latest updates” toggle is on, and the full rollout to all users is slated for the August 2026 Patch Tuesday on August 11.

Windows 11 25H2 Adds Android Resume and Official Offline Installer Links

Microsoft released KB5074105 for Windows 11 25H2/24H2 as an optional update with Cross-Device Resume enabling Android-app handoff (Spotify, Word/PowerPoint, Copilot, and more), broader app/browser support, and the ability to disable Smart App Control without a reinstall. It also adds a new Device card in Settings, extends Windows Hello ESS to peripheral fingerprint sensors, and fixes issues like explorer hangs and a black screen. Direct download links for the offline .msu installers are published (sizes ~4–4.5 GB) for manual installation via Windows Update or Update Catalog; the update can be uninstalled if problems occur, and the large size is due to bundled AI models.

Windows 11 KB5074109 lands for 25H2/24H2 with fixes, Copilot share, and AI-tied size

Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5074109 for 25H2 and 24H2 via Windows Update or direct offline installers (.msu). The update, bringing builds 26200.7623 (25H2) or 26100.7623 (24H2), is a primarily fix-focused Patch Tuesday that also rolls out several new features (e.g., Share with Copilot on the taskbar, a File Explorer ‘Recommended’ feed, advanced Settings for Sandbox/Hyper‑V, dark-mode dialogs, and handheld full-screen gaming) and security updates. It’s over 4 GB in size due to bundled AI models, and some modern drivers are removed. Enterprise users may see new Secure Boot certificates starting with this release. A known issue from earlier updates—the lock screen password icon—still exists; updates for 25H2 are mandatory unless paused.
