Windows 11 23H2-25H2: Preview Updates (28. Oktober 2025)

Microsoft hat zum 28. Oktober 2025 das optionale, kumulative (Vorschau-) Update KB5067112 für Windows 11 23H2 veröffentlicht. Für Windows 11 24H2 und 25H2 wurde das Preview Update KB5067036 freigegeben. Diese Preview Updates enthalten Korrekturen, die getestet werden können und die dann als Fixes im Folgemonat allgemein ausgerollt werden.

Zu beachten ist, dass Preview- oder Vorschau-Updates standardmäßig manuell zum Download und zur Installation angestoßen werden müssen (wobei Windows 11 ab Version 22H2 Optionen zur automatischen Installation enthält). Windows 10 erhält nach dem Supportende keine Preview-Updates mehr.

Preview-Update KB5067036 für Windows 11 24H2/25H2

Die Liste der Updates für Windows 11 lässt sich auf dieser Microsoft-Seite einsehen. Für Windows 11 Version 24H2 sowie 25H2 wurde zum 28. Oktober das Preview-Update KB5067036 freigegeben. Im Rahmen eines "gradual Rollouts" werden verschiedene "Copilot + PC Experiences" auf kompatiblen Systemen installiert. Für Windows 11 24H2-25H2-Systeme ohne NLP-Chip gibt es folgende Improvements und Fixes im "gradual Rollout"

• [Start menu] New! The redesigned Start menu, built to help you access your apps more quickly and smoothly. Its redesigned layout makes it easier than ever to find what you need. ​​​​​​​
  • Scrollable 'All' section: The main page now includes a scrollable "All" section, making it easier to find apps.
  • Category and grid views: Switch between two new views—category view, which groups apps by type and highlights frequently used ones, and grid view, which lists apps alphabetically with more horizontal space for easier scanning. The menu remembers your last selected view.
  • Responsive layout: The Start menu adapts to your screen size. Larger displays show more pinned apps, recommendations, and categories by default. Sections like Pinned and Recommended expand or collapse based on content. You can customize these views under Settings > Personalization > Start.
  • Phone Link integration: A new mobile device button next to Search lets you expand or collapse content from your connected phone. This feature supports Android and iOS devices in most markets and will roll out to the European Economic Area (EEA) in 2025.
• [File Explorer]
  • New! Recommended files in File Explorer Home are now available for personal Microsoft accounts and local accounts. These files include content you frequently use, have recently downloaded, or added to your File Explorer Gallery. If you prefer not to see the recommended section in File Explorer Home, you can turn it off in File Explorer Folder Options. When this feature is turned off, folders pinned to Quick Access will appear instead. [Nicht in der EU verfügbar].
  • New! StorageProvider APIs are now available for cloud providers to integrate with File Explorer Home. Developers can learn to enable the system to query for suggested files.
  • Fixed: The File Explorer context menu might unexpectedly switch back and forth between the normal view and Show More Options on each right click.
  • Fixed: When opening a folder from another app (for example, opening the Downloads folder from a browser), your custom view — including sorting files by name, changing the icon size, or removing grouping — unexpectedly resets back to default.
  • Fixed: The body of the File explorer window might no longer respond to mouse clicks after invoking the context menu.
  • Fixed: Extracting very large archive folders (1.5gb+) might fail with a "Catastrophic Error" (error code 0x8000FFFF).
  • Fixed: File Explorer might become unresponsive when opening Home.
• [Lock screen] New! The new battery icons, which include color indicators and battery percentage, now appear in the lower-right corner of the lock screen. This feature makes it easier to check your device's charging status and battery level at a glance. To learn more about the battery icon feature, see Taskbar.
  • [Microsoft 365 Copilot] New! A new Microsoft 365 Copilot page has been added to the Get Started experience for commercial devices with an active Microsoft 365 subscription. This page helps you learn about Microsoft 365 Copilot features and begin using them more easily.
  • [Settings] New! The "Email & accounts" section is now called "Your accounts." You manage all your accounts under Settings > Accounts.
• [Taskbar]
  • New! The battery icons have been updated to make it easier to check your PC's status at a glance. Color indicators show charging and battery levels: green indicates the PC is charging and in good condition, yellow shows that battery saver mode is on at 20% or below, and red signals a critically low battery. Simplified overlays keep the progress bar visible, and the icons appear in the system tray, Quick Settings, and Settings, with Lock screen support coming soon. To show the battery percentage next to the icon, go to Settings > System > Power & battery, then turn on Battery Percentage. You can still view detailed battery information by hovering over the battery icon or opening the Power & battery settings.​​​​
• [Administrator Protection Preview] New! Administrator protection aims to protect free floating admin rights for administrators. It enables users to perform administrative tasks using just-in-time privileges. This feature is turned off by default and can be enabled using OMA-URI in Microsoft Intune or through Group Policy.
• [Display and Graphics]
  • Fixed: Apps and browsers might display partially unresponsive onscreen content when other maximized or full-screen apps are updating in the background. This issue is especially noticeable when scrolling, as only parts of the window content might update.
  • Fixed: After you install KB5064081, some videos and games might be unexpectedly red.
  • Fixed: If the Connected Devices Platform Service is disabled, Settings might stop responding or close unexpectedly when you try to open Settings > System > Display, including when launched from the desktop context menu.
• [Input] Fixed: An issue with microsoft.ink.dll and related APIs might cause pen and handwriting input to stop responding in apps or lead to apps closing unexpectedly due to thrown exceptions.
• [Narrator] Fixed: Narrator fails when trying to launch it while setting up Windows using an ISO.
• [Open and Save Dialog] Fixed: Certain apps might become unresponsive when launching the Open or Save Dialog.
• [Remote Credential Guard] Fixed: Remote Credential Guard scenarios between the latest Windows 11 builds and Windows Server 2022 or earlier might unexpectedly fail.
• [Sign in to your PC]: Improved: Made underlying changes to improve the performance of loading the taskbar after unlocking your PC from sleep. This also helps in cases where the password field and other sign-in screen contents didn't render when transitioning from the lock screen to the sign-in screen after sleep.
• [Task Manager] Fixed: Some apps might unexpectedly not be grouped with their processes.
• [Windows Update] 
  • Improved: Addressed underlying issue which can cause "Update and shutdown" to not actually shut down your PC after updating.
  • Improved: Addressed underlying issue which can cause Windows Update to fail to install with error 0x800f0983.

Erwähnen möchte ich die Fixes im Explorer, sowie die im Artikel Windows-Bugs: Update und Herunterfahren; Sperrbildschirm; Startmenü und Suche erwähnten Probleme beim "Update und Herunterfahren", sowie den Fix für den Update-Installationsfehler 0x800f0983. Microsoft gibt folgende Improvements und Fixes für den normalen Rollout an:

• [Authentication]
  • Fixed: An issue that caused an ACCESS_DENIED error when users attempted to change passwords remotely on member servers or workgroup devices, even when they had the required permissions.
  • Fixed: This update addresses an issue that affects the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) service on server domain controllers. When the KDC service is manually stopped, the server cannot retrieve Kerberos tickets.
  • After installing the September 2025 security update for Windows Server 2022 (KB5065432), you might experience repeated reauthentication issues with Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS). ​​​​​​​
• [Display] Fixed: After the latest updates, text may not render correctly when editing content within a multiline text box in certain apps.
• [Installation (known issue)] Fixed: The Media Creation tool (version 26100.6584), released on September 29, 2025, might not work as expected on devices with Arm64. Users may encounter an error message such as: "We're not sure what happened, but we're unable to run this tool on your PC."  This is a known issue for Windows 11, version 25H2.
• [Media (known issue)] Fixed: This update addresses an issue where protected content playback fails on some machines after installing KB5064081.
• [Networking (known issue)] Fixed: An issue occurred where web servers using HTTP.sys (such as Internet Information Services [IIS]) rejected incoming HTTP requests with a "NOT_SUPPORTED" error.
• [Screen readers] Fixed: After the latest updates, screen readers may unexpectedly say "legacy window" without reading out the window contents when interacting with certain apps.

Das Preview Update wird über Windows Update als optional angeboten. Das neueste Servicing Stack Update (SSU) ist integriert, um diverse Probleme zu beheben. Weitere Details sind im Zweifelsfall dem Support-Beitrag zu entnehmen. Dort sind auch, sofern bekannt, Probleme aufgelistet.

Preview-Update KB5067112 für Windows 11 23H2

Die Liste der Updates für Windows 11 lässt sich auf dieser Microsoft-Seite einsehen. Für Windows 11 Version 23H2 wurde am 28. Oktober 2025 das Preview-Update KB5067112 freigegeben. Im Rahmen eines normalen Rollouts gibt es folgende Fixes.

• [Input] Fixed: This update addresses an issue where the touch keyboard does not enter characters into text fields after the device wakes from sleep. Although touch keyboard animations appear correctly, key presses do not register—for example, when entering a password on the sign-in screen.
• [Networking] Fixed: An issue where external virtual switches lose their physical network interface card (NIC) bindings and convert to internal switches when the host restarts, resulting in network connectivity loss. The issue was caused by incorrect detection of orphaned virtual switch objects during Host Network Service startup.
• [Shell] This update enables the Personalized Offers feature during device setup in the Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE), and in Settings after the user reaches the desktop.
• [Storage] Fixed: This update addresses an issue that affects disk communication and causes connectivity errors during Azure Stack Hub or Azure Local cluster upgrades.
