⬇️ June 2025 Patch Tuesday Update
Microsoft is expected to roll out the June 2025 Security Update for Windows 11 24H2, 23H2, and 22H2 on June 10, 2025.
In this release, Microsoft brings new features for Copilot and the Settings app, the Share UI adds new edit options, and there are new fixes and improvements.
This page explains the June 2025 Security Update in more detail. You can also watch my latest video tutorial on how to get this update as soon as possible.
Microsoft will also be rolling out the June 2025 Security Update for Windows 10 22H2 and previous versions.
To download and install this quality update for Windows 11, open the “Windows Update” settings and click the “Check for Updates” button.
Usually, the company doesn’t release new features immediately. A new feature advertised as part of an update only marks the beginning of the gradual rollout. It also depends on the geographical location, software, and hardware configuration. For example, because of the rules in Europe, many features take longer to arrive.
