New Windows 11 Recovery and Setup Patches Are Live: Check for KB5062233, KB5060843, KB5062197, and KB5061090
This week, Microsoft rolled out a set of non-security preview updates for Windows 11 versions 22H2 , 23H2 , and the newer 24H2 , along with related server editions. These updates include KB5060826 for 22H2 and 23H2, and KB5060829 for 24H2.
In addition to these standard updates, Microsoft also released Dynamic Updates , which are designed to enhance system setup and recovery processes.
🔧 What Are Dynamic Updates?
Dynamic Updates typically include improvements to two main areas:
- Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) — often referred to as Safe OS updates
- Setup binaries — essential files used during system installation or upgrades
These update packages are usually applied to existing Windows images before deployment. They help ensure smoother installations and more reliable recovery options. Among other things, they include fixes for Setup.exe binaries , updated components for SafeOS , and compatibility enhancements for optional features like Language Packs (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) .
For example, in Windows 11 24H2, VBScript is now part of FODs, meaning it’s available but not installed by default unless needed.
🛠️ Available Setup and Recovery Updates
