Microsoft says the latest Windows 11 preview build improves update management for IT administrators and fixes several issues leading to app crashes.
The focus of this build's update improvements is to help admins make system restarts after Windows updates are installed more predictable.
"Ensuring consistent and predictable timing of restarts for Windows updates is a key part of a successful update strategy," said Microsoft's Amanda Langowski and Brandon LeBlanc.
To achieve this goal, Microsoft made several changes to the Update Stack Orchestrator, including allowing admins to manually set the number of days before feature and quality updates install automatically.
These improvements are rolling out to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel, who have installed Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25227.
The new Windows 11 dev build also fixes issues triggering crashes and affecting several apps, including File Explorer, the Start Menu, and Gaming Services.
