Critical Windows 10 Recovery Patches Now Available
Microsoft has rolled out its regular Patch Tuesday updates for June 2025 , targeting both Windows 10 and Windows 11 . While the usual security and feature patches are included, this month’s release stands out due to a notable absence of dynamic updates for Windows 11 — something that doesn’t happen often.
Patch Tuesday Updates: June 2025 Edition
For Windows 10, the following updates have been made available:
- KB5060533
- KB5060531
- KB5061010
- KB5060998
And for Windows 11 users:
- KB5060842
- KB5060999
These updates include standard security fixes, performance improvements, and bug resolutions across both operating systems.
Dynamic Updates: Focused Only on Windows 10
What makes this month unique is that dynamic updates were only published for Windows 10 , while Windows 11 received none — an unusual move from Microsoft.
Dynamic updates typically include critical changes to the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) — sometimes referred to as Safe OS updates — as well as enhancements to the Setup binaries used during installation or upgrade processes.
These packages are especially important for system administrators and IT professionals who manage large-scale deployments. They help ensure smoother upgrades by preserving essential components like:
- Language Packs (LP)
- Features on Demand (FODs) — such as VBScript in Windows 11 24H2
- Setup-related files used during OS installation
Safe OS Dynamic Updates Released for Multiple Windows 10 Versions
The following Safe OS updates have been released:
🔹 KB5060534 – Windows 10 v1507
Improves the recovery environment (WinRE) for this older version of Windows 10.
🔹 KB5060532 – Windows 10 v21H2 & v22H2
Brings updated recovery tools and enhanced stability to these widely used versions.
🔹 KB5060530 – Windows 10 v1809 & Windows Server 2019
Adds performance tweaks and reliability improvements to the WinRE component.
🔹 KB5060529 – Windows 10 v1607 & Windows Server 2016

These updates are designed to be applied to existing Windows images before deployment, helping maintain system integrity and compatibility.
