Keeping Windows up to date will ensure that you’ve got the latest and greatest version of the OS, but keeping track of all the updates can be difficult. WithWindows 11, Microsoft delivers monthly cumulative updates with security and stability improvements, and we get feature updates like version 24H2 once a year. Some new features are also released through "Moment" updates, such asMoment 5 from earlier this year.
To make things easier for you, this article will serve as the central repository of knowledge base (KB) articles and download links for all updates related to Windows 11.
Microsoft occasionally pulls some older updates from their update servers, so some links might not be available.
The Windows 11 2024 Update is now available — here's what's new and why it's not Windows 12
The Windows 11 2024 Update will bring a ton of changes to the operating system, including better support for Arm devices.
Windows 11 version 24H2 (Build 26100) updates
Windows 11 version 24H2 is the major feature update for 2024, and it's currently only available on PCs shipping with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X series of processors, AMD's Ryzen AI 300, or INtel's upcoming Core Ultra Series 2 processors. Other PCs will be getting the update later in the year, but in the meantime, if you have a Copilot+ PC, you're already getting some updates.
Explaining checkpoint updates for Windows 11 version 24H2
Windows 11 version 24H2 introduces a new update system calledcheckpoint updates. These updates are designed to reduce update download sizes by making certain updates a requirement for installing a newer update. To make the process easier, each update now includes two packages: the required checkpoint update and the latest cumulative update itself.
In the list below, we've listed the separate MSU packages for the checkpoint update (Package 1) and the latest cumulative update itself (Package 2). We've also highlighted the latest checkpoint update, so you can determine which packages you actually need. If you're using UUP dump, you'll find both the checkpoint and cumulative updates listed on the search results page.
Using DISM to manually deploy updates, the required checkpoint update will be installed automatically, as long as you've downloaded it and stored it in the same folder as the latest update itself. You can also run the MSU files individually, starting with the checkpoint update.

Windows 11 version 22H2 and 23H2 (Build number 22621 and 22631) updates
Both the 23H2 and 22H2 builds share the same foundation, hence the updates are interchangeable for these two releases. If you're hoping to install the Windows 11 23H2 update on your PC but aren't seeing it in Windows Update, you can manually grab it. We have thefull details in a separate post, but the enablement package can only be installed on 22621.2355 or above. In case you're on the original Windows 11 release aka 21H2, you must upgrade to Windows 11 22H2 first.| KB5027397 (The 23H2 enablement package) | Download |

Glossary
Windows updates are compressed in a special archive file format called Microsoft Cabinet (CAB) that supports embedded digital certificates used for maintaining archive integrity. When published via theMicrosoft Update Catalog, Microsoft often wraps them into the MSU (MicrosoftUpdate) format.
The primary focus of this index is Cumulative Updates (CU), also known as Monthly Rollups, which include both security and reliability updates that are packaged together. Since they're cumulative in nature, the latest rollup package can update the target Windows version to the most recent build, regardless of what the previous build number was.In some cases, you might need to apply a Servicing Stack Update (SSU) before installing the next CU. The servicing stack is the code that installs other operating system updates, which is why Microsoft usually bundles them with CUs before publishing a standalone MSU package. Power users or system admins may still prefer to deal with the CAB variant for ease of deployment. Microsoft also provides CUs for the .NET Framework portion of the Windows OS, but these updates are delivered separately. The Windows Feature Experience Pack is yet another type of update that delivers new feature improvements to customers outside of major Windows feature updates.For a clear idea about Windows update terminology, see the article about thetypes of Windows updates. Keep in mind that build upgrades (such asWindows 11 version 24H2) are much more complex. Microsoft handles these upgrade paths using theUnified Update Platform (UUP).Below, we have indices for all the updates released for different versions of Windows 11. The indices are sorted in chronological order. Since updates are being pushed from different development pipelines, a higher KB/build number is not always the ideal indicator of the latest build. For Windows 11 versions 22H2 and 23H2, you'll find two or more builds pointing toward the same KB article. This is because these two releases share the same codebase, only version 23H2 has some extra features enabled.How to install the Windows 11 cumulative updates
CAB packages
To install a CAB update package, you must use a built-in system utility called Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM). Thecommand-line syntax should be as follows:dism /online /add-package /packagepath:<path_to_cabfile>
CAB and PSF packages
SinceWindows 10 Insider Preview Build 21382, Microsoft has made a significant change in the Latest Cumulative Update (LCU) format. As a result, the end user can't use the CAB file directly. To perform the installation using the built-in update module, the correspondingPatch Storage Files (PSF) package must be present. This is why you can find PSF files corresponding to each LCU in the Windows 11 UUP Dump. In the case of an online installation, Windows Update only downloads and generates missing PSFX (PSF Express) payloads, while the CAB package only contains the manifests.However, DISM alone can't handle the PSF packages, which means we need to somehow combine the PSF and CAB files manually before trying to install them offline. Fortunately, there exists an open-source tool namedPSFX Repack for this job.1. Extract the archive of the PSFX Repack tool to a folder with a short path (like "D:\PSFX_Repack\").2. Download bothCAB andPSF files corresponding to the target LCU from the UUP dump listing and move them to the aforementioned folder. Refer to the above index to note the appropriate KB number before downloading. If needed, the relevant SSU should also be present in the UUP dump listing in the form of CAB and MSU. Grab your preferred variant.
3. Runpsfx2cab_CLI.cmd to generate the combined CAB file.4. Install theSSU first, then useDISM to install the resultant LCU CAB file.
5. Reboot, and you're good to go.The developer of the PSFX Repack tool also offers a much more advanced utility named "Windows NT 10.0 Updates Installer" that can service both online and offline Windows images. It is compatible with Windows 10 and 11, as well as their Server counterparts. Even if you don't want to perform any kind of slipstreaming, you can use the tool to install PSF and CAB files on a live Windows instance without extracting and combining the packages first.1.Download the latest version ofWindows NT 10.0 Updates Installer and extract the archive to a folder with a short path (like "D:\W10UI\").2. Download bothCABandPSF files corresponding to the target LCU from the UUP dump listing and move them to the aforementioned folder. Refer to the above index to note down the appropriate KB number before downloading.3. Download the relevantSSU from the listing and move it to the same folder mentioned in the previous steps. The tool can handle both MSU and CAB formats, so grab any one of the two, but not both.4. RunW10UI.cmd as administrator, then press "0" (numeric zero) to start the process. The tool is intelligent enough to detect and install the SSU first, then process the CAB and PSF packages.You can install cumulative updates for .NET Framework using this tool as well. Just place the MSU/CAB in the same folder, and it will recognize it.
5. If everything goes right, it will ask you to reboot.
MSU packages
The MSU variant, on the other hand, is somewhat standalone in nature due to the fact that one can simply double-click on it to install the package. Note that DISM can also install MSU files using the same syntax used for CAB files.
How to check your installed updates
The Settings app in Windows 11 can view the list of updates installed on your PC. Here’s how to access it:1. OpenSettings and navigate to theWindows Update section in the left pane.2. Click/tap onUpdate history.
If the command line is your thing, then you can opt for DISM or Windows Management Instrumentation (WMIC) as well. You need to execute the command from an elevated instance of Windows Terminal. Using DISM:dism /online /get-packages /format:table | findstr "Package_for"
Using WMIC:wmic qfe
