Area Improvement

Secure Boot Expands automatic certificate updates with improved targeting

BitLocker Improves reliability; devices no longer freeze after entering the recovery key.

Users can access this optional update through standard channels, primarily via Windows Update in system settings. By navigating to the Update & Security section and checking the 'Optional updates available' area, users can download and install KB5077241.

This release is a combined SSU and Latest Cumulative Update (LCU) package. Administrators needing to remove the LCU later must use the DISM command-line tool, as the Windows Update Standalone Installer uninstall switch will not work on combined packages. Currently, Microsoft reports no known issues associated with this update release.

Administrators and users looking to implement these performance improvements and updated AI components can proceed with the installation through their preferred update management system.
