Microsoft wrapped up 2025 with a significant update to Windows 11 version 25H2, delivering build 26200.7462 through the December Patch Tuesday release (KB5072033). As the final major update of the year, this build brings meaningful improvements across gaming, user interface refinement, and virtualization management.

What’s in This Update?

This combined servicing stack and cumulative update represents Microsoft’s commitment to polish and performance as we head into 2026. While it may not introduce groundbreaking features, the refinements address real user pain points and enhance the overall Windows experience.

Dark Mode Gets Even Better

One of the most welcome improvements comes to File Explorer’s dark mode implementation. Users who’ve embraced dark mode across Windows 11 will appreciate that copy, move, and delete dialogs now properly support the darker aesthetic. No more jarring white flashes interrupting your carefully curated dark workspace.

Speaking of visual improvements, Microsoft has also addressed the notorious File Explorer white flash that occurred when navigating between pages—a small but annoying issue that many users have reported since earlier builds.

Time Matters: Clock Enhancements

The notification center now features a larger clock display with an optional seconds indicator. This seemingly minor addition provides better visibility and makes it easier to track time at a glance, particularly useful for users who keep the notification center visible throughout their workday.

Gaming Performance and Stability

Gamers will be particularly interested in the AMD GPU stability fixes included in this build. Microsoft has been working closely with AMD to resolve issues that caused crashes and performance hiccups, and this update delivers tangible improvements for those running Radeon graphics cards.

The gaming optimizations extend beyond just GPU fixes, with general performance enhancements designed to provide smoother gameplay and better frame time consistency.

Virtualization Gets Organized

For IT professionals and power users working with virtual machines, Microsoft has introduced a new Virtual Workspaces section in Settings. This consolidates Hyper-V and virtualization options into a single, more accessible location, making it easier to manage your virtualized environments without hunting through multiple settings panels.

This is particularly relevant for those running Windows 11 Pro with Volume Licensing (VL) in enterprise or testing environments.
