Microsoft released, this Tuesday (11), the “Patch Tuesday” updates for different versions of Windows 11 and Windows 10. The new software versions correct several problems that could compromise the security of the platform and bring small changes to improve the users’ experience.
Patch Tuesday para Windows 11
Windows 11 is receiving security updates “KB5025239” and “KB5025224” for versions 22H2 and 21H2 respectively. Both bring dozens of security fixes to the devices, but also include minor changes to the operating system’s user interface that were noticed in previous test builds.
An example is the appearance of Microsoft account notifications on the Start menu, such that they will only be available in version 22H2. The purpose of this feature is to alert users about pending issues in their profile and recommend actions, such as backing up data to OneDrive. The company claims that the function will be distributed gradually.

Another notable change is related to the Windows taskbar. When using the system with a custom color and the dark mode activated, the search box will adopt a lighter tone to improve its readability.
To ensure more security for corporate users, the company cites improvements in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. In addition to these changes, Microsoft highlights the correction of problems in several applications that include crashes in PowerPoint and errors in Excel Narrator. You can check out the release notes on Microsoft’s support page.

Patch Tuesday para Windows 10
Patch Tuesday for Windows 10 is identified by the numbering “KB5025221” and covers versions 21H1, 21H2 and 22H2, bringing the build numbers to 19042.2846, 19044.2846 and 19045.2846, respectively.

Microsoft does not reveal what changes have been made to the versions cited above, but reiterates that this is a recommended security update for all users.
Even though Windows 11 is heading towards its 3rd anniversary, Windows 10 still dominates in market share. Data from Statcounter indicate that the older version of the operating system is installed on more than 73% of devices running Microsoft software; the new version holds only 20%.
