    Noticed that too since last month's (August) preview update (KB5062660 26100.4770). As my Win language is EN-GB, so thought maybe that's the reason for getting this EU symbol.

    Good evening, everyone. Does anyone know when we can expect the new MVS ISOs to be released? Maybe tomorrow? I'm not sure which day Microsoft usually releases the ISOs, so any feedback would be appreciated. :)

    okay, so in-place upgrade will let me keep all my programs/files correct? And do I need to create a new bootable USB from the latest ISO to do it or...?

    Mount or extract the ISO (make sure it is fixed when it is on an older unsupported system) and run setup.exe.

    You can download the most current uptodate ISO here:

    Quick Test:

    initial situation: Windows 11 Pro 24H2 retail build 26100.4770 (July 2025)
    1) installed KB5054156 (enable 25H2).
    result : Windows 11 Pro 25H2 retail (no dev/insider-) build 26200.4770 (July 2025)

    next: searching for Windows Update: nothing found.

    1) try to manual install CU-Update 2025-08
    windows11.0-kb5063878.4946-x64.msu cant be installed, because only for 24H2 retail/VL/OEM
    Windows11.0-KB5064075.5742-x64.msu cant be installed, because only for 25H2 dev (not for retail)

    2) deinstalled KB5054156 (enable 25H2)
    result: Windows 11 Pro 24H2 retail build 26100.4770 again
    windows11.0-kb5063878.4946-x64.msu installed, because for 24H2 retail

    result: Windows 11 Pro 24H2 retail build 26100.4946 (August 2025)

    3) installed KB5054156 (enable 25H2)
    result: Windows 11 Pro 25H2 retail build 26200.4946 (August 2025) (no dev/insider build)

    conclusion: no automatic Windows updates in August/September 2025 for 25H2 retail Edition available

    Did you expect anything else with the 25H2 EP being a dev channel cab and the dev channel enrollment is still needed to get the next dev channel updates offered and the manual installation was tested not working already.

    No, just a test this weekend because its to hot outside. :rolleyes:
    I can definitely wait until October, especially since the 25H2 enable update doesn't bring any improvements. ;)
