Glossary

Windows updates are usually compressed and come in a Microsoft Cabinet (CAB) file format. When they are released through the Microsoft Update Catalog Website, Microsoft releases them in the MSU (Microsoft Update) file format.

The primary target of these archive indexes are cumulative updates (also known as monthly updates). Monthly updates include security and stability updates and are delivered through automatic updates. They can also be downloaded and installed manually. Manual

Sometimes you must install a service stack update (SSU) before you install the latest cumulative update. Cumulative updates are released in such a way that a single latest cumulative update will bump the build version regardless of the old build version. Let’s say you are 10 updates away from the latest build; installing those 10 updates one at a time or installing a single latest cumulative update will be the same.

As part of the new features for Windows 11 23H2, Microsoft may include the following:

• Windows Copilot powered by AI.
• File Explorer interface updated to WinUI.
• New native RAR, 7-zip, TAR, and GZ support.
• Ungroup and labels for apps in the Taskbar.
• New Windows Backup app and restore experience.
• New RGB lighting controls.
• New Home page for Settings with interactive cards.
• Virtual drives (VHD, VHDX, and Dev Drive) management from Settings.
• New Dev Home app for developers.
• Updated passkey experience with new management settings.
• Widgets with the option to disable the news feed and pin widgets to the desktop.
• Microsoft Store with AI features.
• Networking improvements in the Settings app.
• New option to hide time and date in the Taskbar.
• Updated Nearby Sharing interface with faster transfer speeds.

Windows 11 build index

The following index is sorted carefully to display the latest builds on top. Microsoft KB updates are usually released from different channels, so a more elevated KB number doesn’t always represent the latest build number.

Build Number 22631 (Version 23H2)

How to install Windows 11 Cumulative Updates

Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) installs such cumulative updates on Windows 11. We’ll demonstrate using it on Windows PowerShell.

1. CAB Packages

Run Powershell with admin privilege and type the following command.

dism /online /add-package /packagepath:<path_to_cabfile>

Example,

DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:c:\kb1234.cab

Tools can help you install cab files without tapping on your keyboard.

2. MSU packages

MSU package installation procedure is similar to simple software installation where double-clicking runs the setup. DISM utility can also be used to install these files.

Conclusion

Windows is always the first choice for most people as it’s very easy to use, and everyone is already familiar with how it works. Many people might argue it’s not as stable as MacOS, an Operating system partially depends on Hardware, and it’s a tedious task for Microsoft to make Windows work on every machine regardless of its capabilities.

It is completely fine if you use Windows; there is no point in arguing about which Operating system is better; for someone with an ancient computer, Linux is the best way to get things done, while coders and developers prefer macOS.
