Microsoft Releases July 2025 Patch Tuesday Updates for Windows 11: KB5062785, KB5062683, and More
Microsoft has rolled out its latest Patch Tuesday updates for Windows 11, including support for versions 24H2, 23H2, and 22H2 , under the identifiers KB5062553 and KB5062552 . Alongside these standard security updates, the company also released a set of Dynamic Update packages aimed at improving setup and recovery processes.
These Dynamic Updates are particularly important for users and IT administrators who manage system deployments, as they enhance core components like Windows Setup and the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) — often referred to as Safe OS updates.
What Are Dynamic Updates?
Dynamic Updates are special packages designed to be applied before deploying Windows images . They help ensure smoother installations and more reliable recovery options by updating key system binaries.
Key improvements include:
- Enhanced Setup.exe binaries
- Updated Safe OS components for Windows Recovery Environment
- Better handling of Language Packs (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) during upgrades
(For example, VBScript is now a FOD in Windows 11 24H2)
These updates are automatically delivered through Windows Update , but can also be downloaded manually from the Microsoft Update Catalog .
