Microsoft has released the KB5065789 preview cumulative update for Windows 11 24H2, which includes 41 improvements, including new AI actions in File Explorer and bug fixes for Windows Update and Windows Sandbox.
This update is part of Microsoft's "optional non-security preview updates" schedule, which releases updates at the end of each month to allow Windows admins to test bug fixes, improvements, and new features ahead of next month's Patch Tuesday release.
However, unlike regular Patch Tuesday cumulative updates, the monthly non-security preview updates do not include security updates.
With KB5065789, Microsoft addressed a known issue that occurs when Windows Sandbox is enabled, causing the PC to become unresponsive due to the VmmemCMFirstBoot process consuming large amounts of CPU after sign-in.
It also fixes bugs that disrupted Windows Update via Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and triggered 0x80090010 Windows Hello errors on devices joined to Microsoft Entra ID domains after installing Windows updates released since the June 2025 Patch Tuesday.
This month's preview update also adds AI actions in File Explorer to edit images or summarize documents outside the European Economic Area (EEA), and updates the Click to Do context menu to make it easier to discover the most widely used AI-powered actions.
You can install KB5065789 by opening Settings, clicking on Windows Update, and then on 'Check for Updates.' Since this is an optional update, you will be prompted to install it by clicking the 'Download and install' link.
You can also manually download and install the KB5065789 preview update from the Microsoft Update Catalog.
