Microsoft began rolling out the much-anticipated hot patch update for security updates in Windows 11 Enterprise 24H2 and Microsoft 365 Preview Builds. Once installed, users can download and install the security patches via Windows Updates without requiring a reboot for the patch to be activated.
"Hotpatch updates are scoped and provide a complete set of OS security patches. No additional features are included," Microsoft explains. "They are unique in that they take effect immediately upon installation without requiring you to restart your device, helping to ensure focused, rapid protection."
