This morning I was offered KB5070773 which apparently mitigates this, so hopefully fixed now.
Anyone bothered with Windows 11 25H2?
- Thread starter aaronyuri
- Start date
I updated my daughter pc and Virus & threat protection disappeared from windows defender. So I went back to an older restore point and it was back again. Tried the update again and it happened again. Anyone else had this issue?
On my pc I’ve not done the update and working ok. Both pc have Windows 11 pro.

Nope, all (defender) working normally for me.

I was putting it off for several days because when Windows 11 did force itself my my Win 10 laptop it did bugger about with updating the bios against my will, which stopped Throttlestop working and knackered performance, such that I had to mess about downgrading the bios and disabling the bit in device manager which checks your bios. But I eventually let it do the 25H2 update and was surprised it left the bios as is. I can't see any changes whatsoever in general use though. Mainly waiting for the Start Menu update they seem to be holding back.
I've just received a notification to install a preview update: KB5067036. This update contains the new start menu according to the KB article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb...-preview-ec3da7dc-63ba-4b1d-ac41-cf2494d2123a
I'm not desperate enough to try it. If anyone else takes a punt, please post some screenshots.

So far no new start menu or any changes that I can see to it even with that update on several PCs/devices, for some reason I'm only seeing about 20% of the listed changes/improvements with that update on my systems.

As far as I know the features in 25h2 have not been activated yet which is why we see no difference.

After an update last week, my photos all decided they were going to open with the default option rather than photo viewer.
Apart from that I haven't noticed any change since updating.
Since installing Windows 11 I do notice that every so often, if I have a folder open with a mixture of HTML files and PNG files in it, the folder appears to lock itself - so if I double click the files nothing happens and they don't open - if I tap the address bar and hit enter - the folder works and allows me to open the files again.

I'm really amazed at how you can have things on your own computer that Microsoft wants you to download, and then they say, 'Nah, you'll have to wait before we activate it.' It should be activated as soon as it's on your computer. This whole Windows 11 situation is just crazy to me. Seriously, we need that *God mode tier* to be active as soon as it's on my computer, or just don't bother downloading it at all.
