Brief:

​Microsoft's February 2025 preview cumulative update for Windows 11 24H2, labeled KB5052093, introduces 33 improvements and fixes addressing various system issues.

Affected Systems:

What Does This Mean to Me:

• SSH Connection Stability: This addresses a longstanding issue that disrupted SSH connections after the October 2024 updates.

• File Explorer Performance: Enhances File Explorer's responsiveness and resolves bugs related to URL entries in the address bar and context menu. ​

• Audio Functionality: Fixes an issue where audio volume would unexpectedly jump to 100% upon waking from sleep and resolves problems with USB audio devices ceasing to function after short idle periods.

Why This Matters for Small Businesses:

Applying Windows updates regularly offers stronger security.

Recommended Response and Countermeasures:

• Systems Admin

• Endpoint Management (EPM)

Small business owners can maintain system stability, enhance security, and ensure efficient operations by staying informed about such updates. Automating updates with EPM takes the effort out of the problem; updates are automatically applied and pushed to your workstations.
