Microsoft releases new cumulative updates for Windows 10 and 11

April 26, 2023

Microsoft released last Tuesday (25) two new software updates for Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems, which this week were awarded with builds 22621.1635 (KB5025305) and 19045.2913 (KB5025297), respectively, comprising versions 11H22 and 22H2.

As with all stable updates, these were also released through the Updates and Security platform and can be downloaded through the computer or laptop settings. As determined by AllCellular, both are available in Europe and can be optionally installed by users.

As noted in the changelog, this non-security update includes several improvements and general fixes for big tech systems, in addition to also bringing some new features, such as the ability to configure application group rules directly in the firewall of the device.
