- LTSC with 25H2 getting retail channel updates offered: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1889582

- EnterpriseS is mentioned in the current 25H2 EP applicability list
- It gets the 25H2 edition shown
- Retail channel updates are offered on WU

It is not expected that 2024 LTSC will eventually get the 25H2 EP offered on WU as it being a (fake) feature upgrade,

However the 25H2 editions won't get any new features (at launch) and even some 24H2 existing features get killed off, all can happen.

Maybe the 25H2 "upgrade" is just a "repair" action to get rid of some old(er) features and to keep their "every year a new release" cadency.

- There will be another Release Preview 25H2 EP, in that we can check for it's applicability list

- September 12. 2025: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1890081 same 25H2 EP, nothing changed!
- September 17. 2025 https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1890629 25H2 chanded build, same content as before.
- September 19. 2025 https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1890879 old 25H2 EP (from the release preview channel: 5505.3)

- Then there will be a public aka retail channel version to check
EDIT: after installing the EP the install will get new retail channel updates.
- Finally we can wait for WU ot offer it in the retail channel on 2024 LTSC

OR MSFT should get its act together and release some real informing blog about this nonsense....ehhhh.... mess

General Info about the 25H2 editions:

Removed apps are these apps are not removed by the EP but by the LCU:

Code:

- Powershell 2.0
- WMIC

How to go back to 24H2 after installing the 25H2 EP on 2024 LTSC (or non LTSC):
