Following that, the company is promising <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neowin.net\/news\/microsoft-may-have-indirectly-realized-windows-11-system-requirements-needs-overhaul\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">big improvements to RAM consumption<\/a>, as it is evident that running Windows 11 on a minimum-spec PC is no longer possible.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the D-update, Microsoft also released a new dynamic update. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neowin.net\/news\/microsoft-may-disable-vbscript-early-in-windows-11-24h2-25h2-shares-detailed-official-guide\/\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This time only a recovery update was released for Windows 11.
