Details

Body (from Message Center)

Built-in Windows apps have a significant update through media releases of Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows Server 2025. Use media refreshed in or after June 2025 with newer versions of 36 inbox apps for client and 2 for server for a more secure, compliant, and user-friendly experience. There’s no longer a need for immediate updates from the Microsoft Store.

When will this happen:

The refreshed media is available now.

How this will affect your organization:

The new media, refreshed monthly in or after June 2025, keeps apps up-to-date, reducing security vulnerabilities at your organization. You’ll also save bandwidth and time with the ability to use the apps immediately and improved features and fixes.

What you need to do to prepare:

To take advantage of the built-in Windows apps, get the updated ISO images by signing into the Microsoft 365 admin center. The images are also available from Microsoft websites via the Media Creation Tool or Azure Marketplace. Then deploy devices on Windows 11, version 24H2 or Windows Server 2025 using the media refreshed in June 2025 or later.
