Microsoft has rolled out the February 2025 Patch Tuesday updates, KB5051987 and KB5051989, for Windows 11 24H2 and 23H2, as reported by Bleeping Computer. After installing the updates, the build number for Windows 11 version 24H2 will change to Build 26100.

The latest updates resolve more glitches and security flaws - some critical - in Windows 11 23H2 and 24H2, so you'll want to install them sooner rather than later.

CVE-2025-21391, the zero-day Windows storage flaw, stems from the way Windows resolves file paths and follows links, Walters said. File deletion is just the beginning of the problems it could cause, as it could lead to privilege escalation, unwanted access to security logs or configurations, malware injection, data manipulation, or other attacks.

The Windows 11 quality updates can be installed during the OOBE period, according to a new policy set to be released soon.

Microsoft’s February 2025 cumulative update brings much-needed relief to Windows 11 users, fixing Auto HDR issues that caused game crashes, audio output disruptions, and USB webcam detection problems,
