Microsoft has officially begun the gradual rollout of Windows 11 25H2, meaning that most users will receive the update over the coming days. For those who prefer not to wait, it’s also possible to install the update manually — for example, by using the official ISO file.
However, business and enterprise customers will need to wait a little longer. According to reports from Windows Latest, Microsoft plans to make the 25H2 update available through Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) within the next few days.
The rollout process for Windows 11 25H2 has been somewhat unusual, with staggered availability depending on user type and update channel. Still, once it fully lands on WSUS, IT administrators and corporate environments will be able to deploy the new version across their devices in a controlled way.
Microsoft confirms the distribution of Windows 11 25h2 for companies as of October 14, 2025
As we’ve previously noted, the rollout of Windows 11 version 25H2 has been somewhat unusual. Technically, Microsoft made the update available to the public in late September 2025, but many users still report that they haven’t received it.
Even after performing manual update checks through Windows Update, the new version simply doesn’t appear for a significant portion of users. This has led many to seek alternative installation methods, such as downloading and installing the official ISO image.
The situation isn’t much different for business and enterprise customers. They, too, have been waiting for the update to arrive through official channels. Fortunately, that’s about to change.
According to an announcement published on Microsoft’s Enterprise Administration Portal, the company plans to begin distributing Windows 11 25H2 via Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) starting October 14, 2025.
This marks a slight departure from Microsoft’s usual strategy — the company typically releases new Windows updates to both consumers and business customers at the same time. This year, however, the rollout has been deliberately staggered.
It’s no secret that the Windows 11 25H2 rollout has been slower than previous versions, but the upcoming WSUS release could finally accelerate broader adoption.
That said, Windows 11 25H2 remains an optional update, meaning it won’t install automatically even after it becomes widely available. Users will need to manually enable or install it.
It’s also worth noting that this version doesn’t represent a major shift from Windows 11 24H2. The update is relatively small in size — more of an enablement package than a full feature upgrade.
In practice, this means Windows 11 25H2 feels like a continuation of its predecessor, with only minor refinements rather than sweeping new features. For most users, the experience remains largely the same, which explains why there hasn’t been a rush to install it.
