Microsoft has confirmed a performance issue affecting NDI (Network Device Interface) streaming following the release of the August 2025 Windows Patch Tuesday update (KB5063878, OS Build 26100.4946). The affected platforms are Windows 11, version 24H2, and Windows 10, versions 22H2 and 21H2. Server platforms are not affected by this issue. NDI is used by broadcasting apps like OBS, and now gives issue to streamers across various platforms.

Microsoft has released out-of-band patches for some supported versions of Windows 11 and Windows 10. They address an issue that caused operating system's recovery functions, such as reset and restore, fail after installing the August 2025 Patch Tuesday updates. Here's how Microsoft describes the issue.

Windows 11 Build 27928 is now available in the Canary channel of the Insider program. Starting with today's build, Insiders will notice that the branch name from which builds are released has changed to BR_RELEASE. This is due to internal development cycles of the operating system. The Windows Insider team treats these builds the same as builds from the RS_PRERELEASE branch. However, due to the branch change, some features have been temporarily removed from Windows 11 Insider builds. Microsoft plans to bring them back in the future. BR_RELEASE builds do not represent any feature update for Windows 11.

The Snipping Tool on Windows 11 is getting new capabilities aimed at improving screen capture and interaction. Live Annotation is a new feature allows users to draw directly on the screen in real time.

Microsoft has changes the way app updates work within the Microsoft Store on Windows 11, removing the ability for users to permanently disable automatic updates for installed applications. Previously, users could turn off updates entirely through the Store’s settings. This option is now no longer available.
