Microsoft took many by surprise when it released Windows 11 24H2 early this past month. Following that, the company has also released a new WinRE update and Setup improvements update for it.
Following the Patch Tuesday updates for Windows 10 and 11 under KB5039211 / KB5039217 / KB5039214 / KB5039225 and KB5039212 / KB5039213, respectively, Microsoft also released Windows 11 version 24H2 or the 2024 feature update for Windows 11. The release went live under KB5039239, and it caught many by surprise as it was not supposed to be out until later in the year.
Turns out Microsoft pushed the update as Copilot+ PCs are starting to arrive, although it did add later that x86 systems were technically compatible too.
Sometimes since then, Microsoft also released SafeOS dynamic updates for Windows 11 24H2. These dynamic updates add improvements to the Windows recovery environment or WinRE and the setup file. Earlier today, we covered the WinRE update earlier today which has been released under KB5041137.
Meanwhile, the dynamic update that improves Windows 11 setup binaries is available under KB5039448.
