Optional update KB5011563 is out with a lot of fixes. Here are the links to download KB5011563 offline installer for Windows 11.
Right on the queue, Microsoft released a new update called KB5011563 for all Windows 11 users. As with the recent trend, KB5011563 is an optional update. That means the update won’t be installed automatically. Instead, you have to download and install KB5011563 manually from the Windows Update page in the Settings app or an offline installer.
As usual, the update is full of fixes and improvements. In fact, the update also includes a new feature that is recently added to Windows 10. It is the ability to display up to three high-priority toast notifications in one go. Though it sounds small, it is a pretty helpful feature for those who customize and only allow high-priority notifications only.
Some of the fixes and improvements in KB5011563 include but are not limited to SystemSettings.exe, search indexer, group policy, app locker, remote desktop service, Powershell execution policy, registry execution policy, driver issues, kernel issues, event logs, user access control, SMB server, NetBIOS, DNS Active Directory, and more.
Though this is an optional update that needs to be manually installed, it is recommended that you install it, if possible. That way, any issues with your system will be solved. If you are wondering, the same update, along with all the new features, fixes, and improvements, are included in the future cumulative updates. As you know, regular cumulative updates are mandatory to install in Windows 11.
To install the KB5011563 update, open the Windows 11 Settings app, go to the “Windows Update” page and click the “Check for updates” button. If the update is available, you will see it listed.
