Despite major bugs and issues in its very first Patch Tuesday, like borked local host authentication and broken USB input, Microsoft recently announced that the new Windows 11 2025 feature update (version 25H2) was now available to download for everyone.
After all that negative coverage, here is something positive to say about the Windows 11 25H2 update, at least in the case of the enterprise segment. The company has shared a full list of the new Windows 11 25H2 settings that IT admins and sysadmins can use.
If you are wondering what it is about, system administrators can use these to configure, manage and deploy various settings on enterprise-managed systems. There are total 36 new settings and their names as well as friendly names have been shared.
You can see the full list in the table given below:
