Windows 11 servicing build 25145.1011 (KB5016159) released for 23H2 Dev channel

Microsoft has released a servicing update today with a new Windows 11 build 25145.1011 (KB5016159) to the 23H2 Dev Channel insiders. The new build does not bring anything new to the table as it is a cumulative update with which the company is testing its servicing pipelines as it is often known to do. These servicing updates are expected sometimes as we have moved into the new 23H2 (Sun Valley 3) feature update.

The full announcement says:

We are starting to roll out Cumulative Update Build 25145.1011 (KB5016159). This update does not include anything new and is designed to test our servicing pipeline for builds in the Dev and Beta Channels.

Hence, all the bug fixes and improvements that were announced with the earlier released build 25145 to the Dev Channel are carried over into this.

Interestingly, while there are no new changes made in this build, servicing test builds like these before have been known to break some features. For example, Windows 10 Build 21292.1010 caused issues for x64 emulation on ARM PCs.

The official announcement can be found on Microsoft's website here.
