It’s that time of the month again: Microsoft has rolled out its Patch Tuesday updates for Windows 11 versions 23H2, 22H2, and 21H2. Windows 11 23H2 and 22H2 users will see their systems updated through KB5041585, while those on 21H2 will receive KB5041592. Post-update, your build versions will be 22621.4037, 22631.4037, and 22000.3147, respectively.
The updates include quality improvements for both 23H2 and 22H2 versions that were part of a previous update (KB5040527) released in July. For those curious about the specifics, these updates tackle everything from BitLocker recovery issues to ensuring your device doesn’t boot up into a recovery screen unexpectedly.
For the 21H2 crowd, this update is your ticket to enhanced security, with additional protection against the latest threats. It also addresses some known issues, like BitLocker recovery screens popping up after the July update and tweaks to the lock screen functionality.
But here’s something you might not have expected: a servicing stack update (SSU). Both 23H2 and 22H2 versions get KB5041584, which aims to make the update process smoother and more reliable. There are no known issues, so users should have trouble installing the patch.
KB5041585 and KB5041592 should automatically download and install via Windows Update. But if you’re eager to get them immediately or need them for offline installation, you can grab them from the Microsoft Catalog website: KB5041585 can be downloaded fromhere, while KB5041592 can be grabbed fromhere.
Also, a heads-up for 22H2 users: Microsoft has announced that the Home and Pro editions ofWindows 11, version 22H2, will reach their end of service on October 8, 2024. This means you’ll only be getting security updates until then. No more feature updates or non-security fixes. You might want to update your device to the latest 23H2 to keep it safe and secure.
