Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094149 / KB5095971 / KB5094156 Setup, Recovery updates

These updates deliver improvements like those to the setup files and also help in recovery of the OS.

Earlier this week Microsoft released its newest Patch Tuesday updates (KB5094126 / KB5093998 on Windows 11 and KB5094127 on Windows 10). Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates.

These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2.

This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company writes:
