Microsoft has released the KB5062660 preview cumulative update for Windows 11 24H2 with twenty-nine new features or changes, with many gradually rolling out, such as the new Black Screen of Death and Quick Machine Recovery tool.
The KB5062660 update is part of the company's optional non-security preview updates schedule, which releases updates at the end of each month to test new fixes and features coming to next month's August Patch Tuesday.
Unlike regular Patch Tuesday cumulative updates, monthly non-security preview updates do not include security updates and are optional.
You can install the KB5062660 update by opening Settings, clicking on Windows Update, and then "Check for Updates."
Because this is an optional update, you will be asked if you want to install it by clicking the "Download and install" link unless you have the "Get the latest updates as soon as they're they're available" option enabled, which will cause the update to automatically install.
