Cumulative update KB5094126 for Windows 11 version 25H2 (2025 Update) was released as part of the June 2026 Patch Tuesday. The OS build after installation changes to 26200.8655. The package is intended for devices based on x64 (amd64) and ARM64 processors and includes all previously released fixes from the preliminary update KB5089573 (Build 26200.8524), as well as new features and security improvements.
- Shared Audio Listening. Added the Shared Audio function, allowing sound to be transmitted simultaneously to two pairs of headphones with Bluetooth LE Audio support.
- Task Manager. Implemented load tracking for the neural processing unit (NPU) and neural engines of the graphics processing unit (GPU).
- Camera. Added support for Multi-App Camera, allowing multiple applications to use the camera simultaneously, and Basic Camera mode for basic debugging.
- Windows Setup. The ability to choose a custom user folder name during the initial system setup stage has appeared.
- Shell Performance. Accelerated launch of applications and basic interface elements, including the Start menu, search, and Notification Center.
- FAT32 Formatting. The volume size limit when formatting via the command line has been increased from 32 GB to 2 TB.
- Fonts. Updated Times New Roman fonts for the Greek and Cyrillic alphabets, improving their display.
- Windows Search. Search now begins to prioritize files already when entering two query characters instead of three.
- Windows Hello. Sign-in using face or fingerprint becomes the default authentication method at every system boot.
- Secure Boot. Added high-confidence targeting data to expand the coverage of devices automatically receiving new Secure Boot certificates. Devices receive certificates only after demonstrating a sufficient number of successful update signals, ensuring controlled and phased deployment. Also added the LimitSecureBootRequiredServiceData group policy to limit the amount of transmitted Secure Boot service data.
This update fixes a virtualization issue that could lead to stop errors HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) after installing the previous cumulative package. Failures occurred on some devices during system reboot, during operations with virtual machines, or when launching certain gaming applications.

To force check, you need to go to Settings, select the Windows Update section and click the Check for updates button.
