Microsoft released the Windows 11 KB5074105 optional non-security preview update for versions 24H2 and 25H2, providing quality fixes for login hangs, boot issues (including iSCSI and boot debugging scenarios), activation/licensing registration failures, GPU-related KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE (dxgmms2.sys), Windows Sandbox startup errors, and UAC-related freezes, while expanding Cross‑Device Resume and enabling Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in Security for peripheral fingerprint sensors; installation is available via Windows Update or the Microsoft Update Catalog, and Microsoft also announced simplified update titles and distinct identifiers for Windows Server 2025 updates.
