–Microsoft introduces a new option to update your PCs to the latest version of Windows 11. This new feature is part of the content offered by the cumulative update KB5015882.
KB5015882 has been released recently. This is an optional update for Windows 11. Clearly, its download and installation are not automatic. User intervention is required. Its content focuses on fixing bugs while bringing improvements and some new features. For example, the OOBE process during Windows 11 installation is enriched with an option that makes it easy to upgrade to the latest version of the operating system.
In other words, when you install Windows 11 on a new device, if the version you’re deploying isn’t the latest, OOBE can check for updates and proceed to install the latest version. This means that you can enjoy the latest version of Windows 11 in an easier way, without the need to log in to the desktop, set up the account, and then search through the Windows update service.
Microsoft explains
The upgrade provides the ability for eligible devices to upgrade to the latest version of Windows 11 during OOBE. If you choose this option, the update process will begin shortly after the update is installed on your device.
Parallel to this novelty, KB5015882 introduces other improvements. Some worry Autopilot as the giant adds
This update removes the one-time use restriction for Auto Deployment Mode (SDM) and Pre-Provisioning (PP). This update also re-enables any User Principal Name (UPN) display in User Mode (UDM) implementations for trusted vendors.
These improvements will be available to all devices running Windows 11 as part of the upcoming Patch Tuesday. The meeting will take place in August. This important monthly maintenance will result in multiple Windows cumulative updates. The deployment will be automatic this time.
In the meantime, if you want to discover this content now, you should go to Windows Update.
