Windows 11 gets big update with Settings, HDR improvements, and more in KB5058499

One day after releasing May 2025 non-security updates for Windows 11 versions 22H2 and 23H2, Microsoft is updating the latest version, 24H2. KB5058499, with build number 26100.4202, is now available for download, and its changelog contains many new features and improvements.

Today's update brings some updates to Click to Do. It now offers text actions on AMD and Intel-powered systems and a new "Ask Copilot" action. Also, Click to Do is now available in the European Economic Area with support for Spanish and French. If you use Click to Do often, you can now assign it to your stylus' shortcut button.

Copilot improvements include the ability to personalize the Win + C shortcut and the Copilot key, and hold those buttons to talk to Copilot. Windows Search now lets you find various settings using natural language on Copilot+ PCs, and Narrator can generate detailed image descriptions (again, only on Copilot+ PCs).

KB5058499 introduces some Settings improvements. The operating system now allows you to stream HDR video even when HDR is turned off and to toggle Dolby Vision independently of HDR. The System > About section now features an FAQ section about your PC's specs. The printer rename UI now matches the rest of Windows 11's visuals, and more mouse settings made their way from the Control Panel to the Settings app (Accessibility > Mouse > Mouse pointer and touch).

Here is the list of what was fixed (gradual rollout):

• [Audio] Fixed: The startup sound might not play on boot, although it is enabled.
• [Bluetooth] Fixed: Settings might stop responding when loading information about Bluetooth devices.
• [Camera] Fixed: Settings might stop working when interacting with content under Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Cameras.
• [Display] Fixed: Unexpected changes to screen size and window position might occur after waking from sleep for some devices.
• [File Explorer] Fixed: If you have disconnected network drives while conducting a search from Home, it might prevent searches from executing and you remain on Home.
• [Input]
  • Fixed: Voice typing won't start from the touch keyboard when using the Chinese (Simplified) narrow layout.
  • Fixed: When using the Symbols section of the touch keyboard, pressing the key to change pages might unexpectedly insert a character into password fields.
  • Fixed: Typing in some apps might stop working after disconnecting from a remote desktop session.
• [JPG] Fixed: When using CopyPixels the pixels may be unexpectedly inverted in certain cases.
• [Microsoft Management Console (MMC)] Fixed: Improved the colors used in MMC when items are selected, both generally, and when contrast modes are enabled.
• [Print] Fixed: Non-admin users can't uninstall printers that they’ve added.
• [UHF Tuning] Fixed: Tuning scan for UHF channels doesn’t work, and only VHF channels are returned.
• [USB] Fixed: Certain USB devices might become disconnected after sleep, until you reboot your PC.
• [Windows Hello] Fixed: When using Windows Hello for Business facial recognition, the camera might unexpectedly stop working after your PC wakes from sleep, blocking login using this method.

The following fixes are rolling out "normally":

• [BitLocker] Fixed: This update addresses an issue where devices with BitLocker on removable drives could encounter a blue screen error after resuming from sleep or hybrid-booting.
• [Boot menu screens] Fixed: This update addresses the issue where early boot screens, such as BitLocker PIN, BitLocker Recovery key, and boot menu screens, render slowly.
• [Graphics kernel] Fixed: An issue where some game titles become unresponsive after upgrading to 24H2.
• [Memory leak] Fixed: This update addresses an issue in the Input Service that causes increased memory usage, potentially impacting performance in multi-user, multi-lingual, and remote desktop usage.
• [Multimedia] Fixed: If you turn on multi-app mode or basic camera mode in advanced camera settings, the Windows Hello Face Enrollment might not work and show a bad camera preview.
• [Network] Fixed: This update addresses an issue where Windows Server 2025 always shows the network as "public" on new domain controllers. It now checks for a domain controller name before using loopback addresses to ensure proper Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) binding.

Known issues only include one bug that causes Noto fonts to appear blurry in Chromium-based browsers on systems with Chinese, Japanese, and Korean localizations.

You can download KB5058499 from Windows Update. The release is optional, so you need to click "Download and install manually." Alternatively, get the update from the Microsoft Update Catalog. The complete changelog is available here.
