It comes as part of Microsoft’s plan to revitalize Windows 11 with updates focused on addressing user complaints and improving performance. Microsoft patched a bunch of security issues with this update as well, which the company said we can expect to see more of in future releases as it uses AI to identify vulnerabilities.

Last month, Microsoft previewed several other features arriving in this build (KB5101650) in an optional June update. That includes a new “Point-in-time restore” option, which can restore your PC, along with your apps, settings, and files, to a previous state. The update also adds some customization options to Widgets, a more precise magnification tool, and improved stability with certain Bluetooth devices.

Update, July 15th: Noted that it’s a record breaking release.
