Microsoft has released the optional April 2023 non-security cumulative updates for all editions of Windows 11 22H2 with a new option to prioritize non-security and feature Windows updates.

After applying today's KB5025305 preview update, you can configure your PC to prioritize installing the latest available updates.

"Whether you set the toggle to Off or On, you'll still get the regular security updates as usual. The toggle determines how quickly you get the additional non-security updates, fixes, feature updates, and improvements," Microsoft explains.

KB5025305 is a monthly "C" update that allows Windows users to test fixes and improvements, which will roll out to all customers with the May 2023 Patch Tuesday.

Unlike Patch Tuesday updates, non-security preview updates like KB5025305 are optional and do not contain security updates.

Microsoft revealed in March that Windows optional and non-security preview updates would be released during the fourth week of the month starting April 2023.
