Popular Windows 11 requirements skip app gets new Windows Update controls and 25H2 tweaks

Windows 11 version 25H2 is here, and many apps are getting optimizations and tweaks that make them run better on the latest release. Wintoys, one of our favorite tools for Windows 11, has just received a big update, and now Flyoobe, a popular app for skipping Windows 11's hardware requirements and removing unnecessary parts, has also received a handful of optimizations.

With version 1.25, Flyoobe now has "extended debloat routines" that let you get rid of unnecessary AI components, apps, and other parts. Also, the app now has a simpler user interface that focuses on upgrading Windows 10 or reinstalling the operating system.

Additionally, Flyoobe lets you collapse the navigation pane and manage Windows updates with the new "Windows Update Tamer" extension. The latter enables you to pause or resume updates, disable automatic updates (do not do this on your main machine), and more. What is interesting about this extension is that you can use it to pause updates beyond the standard 30-day limit, and if you want to have a Windows installation with Windows Updates paused for 10 years, you can now have it, thanks to Flyoobe.

Here is the full changelog:

• OOBE optimized further for Windows 11 25H2, with extended "debloat" routines targeting AI components, bundled apps, and the overall user experience
• Navigation now starts with a lightweight Windows 10–style flow focused on upgrades or reinstalls; once switched to Windows 11, the full OOBE navigation is unlocked
• General UI optimizations and improved color harmony across all OOBE panels. Unlike the Windows 11 OOBE, which leverages WebView2 to render its HTML/CSS/JS-based interface, this app is fully native, so no Webview2 engine, no Chromium layer, just pure system-level rendering. Yet some users still say it feels suspiciously webby
• Added a navigation collapse feature so the main panel can now go full-screen via the toggle button next to the "More" menu
• Improved notification area for better clarity and consistency
• Core integration of PowerShell extensions optimized for faster and cleaner execution
• Added "Windows Update Tamer" extension, a new tool to manage Windows 11 updates directly from Flyoobe. It allows pausing or resuming updates, disabling automatic updates, setting an extended pause period (up to 10 years), and restoring default behavior

Flyoobe 1.25 is available for free on GitHub via this link.
