Microsoft confirms Windows 11 version 25H2 bugs and issues | Windows Central
Microsoft has confirmed the presence of issues in the newly released Windows 11 version 25H2, cautioning users about potential disruptions if they update immediately. The known problems include failures in playing DRM-protected content—such as Blu-Ray, digital TV, and apps relying on HDCP or Enhanced Video Renderer—and hiccups when installing .msu update files over a shared network folder, which may result in an ERROR_BAD_PATHNAME. While Microsoft hasn’t provided a fix for the DRM issue yet, they recommend copying .msu updates to a local drive before installation as a workaround for the second issue. In addition, Microsoft plans to release resolutions in upcoming updates and will keep a running list of known issues as they emerge.
