Removed or Changed Features
Some elements were deprecated or removed:
- No support for ARM 32-bit apps on ARM devices — only 64-bit apps are supported.
- New CPU requirements: devices must support x86-64-v2 (with SSE4.2 and POPCNT). Older CPUs will not boot Windows Kernel.
- IoT Enterprise editions (LTSC and non-LTSC) have relaxed requirements:
- TPM and UEFI not required.
- DirectX requirement lowered to 10.
- Minimum hardware: 2 GB RAM, 16 GB storage.
Known Issues and Warnings
Reported Issues
- CertificateServicesClient (CertEnroll) log entries in Event Viewer. Harmless but being patched in later updates (KB5064081 / build 26100.5067).
- NDI streaming performance issues: stuttering, lag, and poor audio/video sync in OBS/NDI Tools after KB5063878 (build 26100.4946). Workaround: switch NDI Receive Mode to TCP or UDP instead of RUDP.
- WSUS update failures with error 0x80240069 — resolved after Microsoft fixed synchronization.
- WUSA installation from network shares can fail (ERROR_BAD_PATHNAME). Workaround: copy .msu locally before installing.
- Compatibility blocks for outdated drivers/apps (e.g., Dirac Audio, AutoCAD 2022, Intel Smart Sound Technology, some camera apps). These may trigger BSODs or update blocks.
Upgrade Considerations
- Verify hardware/software compatibility before upgrading.
- OBS/NDI streamers should apply the recommended workaround.
- Enterprises should re-sync WSUS before deployment.
- Monitor the Windows Release Health dashboard for updates.
