Microsoft has officially started distributing its highly anticipated July 2025 "Patch Tuesday" updates, delivering a new wave of security and feature enhancements across Windows 11 versions 24H2, 23H2, and 22H2. This rollout is accompanied by a series of dynamic updates—namely KB5062785, KB5062683, KB5062688, and KB5062693—which focus on refining the setup process and the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE), also referred to as Safe OS updates.
What's New in Windows Dynamic Updates?
Dynamic updates play a critical role during system installation and upgrade phases. These updates target existing Windows images and bring necessary fixes before broad deployment. With this release, Microsoft delivers targeted improvements to the Setup binaries and the Windows Recovery Environment, aiming to ensure a smoother installation, recovery, and upgrade experience for end users and IT administrators.
One standout feature is the preservation of Language Packs (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) throughout the upgrade process, helping organizations and individuals maintain their preferred configurations. For example, VBScript remains a Feature on Demand in Windows 11 24H2, benefitting from these updates.
