KB5067036: Overview with user sentiment and feedback

Overview

This non-security update for Windows 11, version 25H2 and 24H2 (KB5067036), improves functionality, performance, and reliability. It is available through two release phases: gradual rollout and normal rollout. A gradual rollout delivers an update in phases, so features reach devices over time instead of all at once, meaning availability varies by device. A normal rollout is the broad release to all eligible devices at the same time, usually when it reaches general availability (GA).

General Purpose

The purpose of this update is to improve the overall functionality, performance, and reliability of Windows 11 version 25H2 and 24H2. It includes a variety of new features and enhancements, such as a redesigned Start menu, improved input and taskbar experiences, and updates to core system components like File Explorer and Windows Search. The update also addresses several known issues and bugs that were present in previous versions.

General Sentiment

The general sentiment towards this update is mixed. While it introduces some welcomed improvements, such as the Start menu redesign and battery icon enhancements, there are also reports of issues like Task Manager processes not closing properly and display/graphics problems. Some users have experienced crashes and stability problems after installing the update. The known issues with the update, such as the Task Manager bug, are concerning and may deter some users from installing it right away. Overall, the update seems to be a mixed bag - it has positive aspects, but also introduces new problems that Microsoft will need to address.

Known Issues

• Task Manager processes may not close properly after the update, leading to multiple instances running in the background and potentially impacting system performance.- Apps and browsers may display partially unresponsive content when other maximized or full-screen apps are updating in the background, especially when scrolling.- Some videos and games may appear unexpectedly red after installing the update.- The File Explorer context menu may unexpectedly switch between the normal view and Show More Options on each right click.- Extracting very large archive folders (1.5GB+) may fail with a "Catastrophic Error" (error code 0x8000FFFF).- File Explorer may become unresponsive when opening the Home section.
