Version 25H2 incorporates several enterprise features that were previously behind temporary controls.

However, some known issues do exist within this update:
One problem concerns digital TV and Blu-ray/DVD apps that may fail to play protected content as expected. This is due to certain applications using Enhanced Video Renderer with HDCP enforcement or digital rights management (DRM) for digital audio. While a workaround has been implemented in the September 2025 Windows preview update (KB5065789) and later updates, some apps might still experience issues.
Another issue involves installing updates via WUSA from a shared folder, which may fail due to an error called ERROR_BAD_PATHNAME. This problem affects devices that have installed updates released on May 28, 2025 (KB5058499), or later. However, if only one .msu file is present in the network share, or if it's stored locally, this issue will not occur.
To resolve the WUSA installation error, users can save the .msu files locally and install the update from that location. If the issue persists after installing an update using WUSA, wait 15 minutes before checking the Update History page in Settings.
A third problem concerns the Windows 11 media creation tool (version 26100.6584), which may not work correctly on Arm64 hosts due to a bug. Users may receive an error message indicating that their device cannot run the tool.
To address this issue, users can use the media creation tool on devices with AMD64 processors without encountering any problems. However, the media creation tool does support creating media for x64 devices from Arm64 devices—this feature is currently not working as expected.
Microsoft is investigating these known issues and will share more information once it becomes available.
