Direct offline installers (.msu) are available via the Microsoft Update Catalog for builds 26200.8037 (25H2) and 26100.8037 (24H2).

Windows 11 2026 Update Brings Sysmon In-House, WebP Backgrounds, and AI Narrator

Windows 11’s 2026 Insider update wave adds Sysmon as a built-in feature (enabled via Settings > System > Optional features), refreshes the Settings UI to match Windows 11’s design, enables WebP desktop backgrounds, expands Narrator’s AI image description to devices without on-device AI (using Copilot cloud processing for those PCs), and updates the OneDrive sharing UI to show available apps for sharing links, signaling a broader feature rollout ahead of the 2026 cycle.

Windows 11 Embraces Native Sysmon for Built-In Security Telemetry

Microsoft is integrating Sysmon directly into Windows 11 in preview builds for Windows Insider Beta/Dev channels, enabling built-in, configurable security telemetry that previously required a separate Sysinternals installer. The feature is opt-in and disabled by default; admins must remove any existing Sysmon installation, enable it via settings or DISM/PowerShell, and apply a Sysmon configuration file. While it promises easier deployment and centralized monitoring, Microsoft has not announced a production release date.
