Frequently asked questions
What does the 60-day system restore point limit mean for managed devices?
Starting with this update, Windows 11 version 24H2 automatically removes restore points older than 60 days. Administrators should be aware that staff cannot roll back system state beyond that window using System Restore. The limit applies to all restore points and will persist in future Windows 11 24H2 releases.
Do I need to install the servicing stack update separately before applying KB5060841?
No. Microsoft bundles the required SSU - KB5059502, version 26100.4193 - directly into this hotpatch package. When deploying via Windows Update, the SSU installs alongside the hotpatch without any additional steps from the administrator.
Is a restart required to apply this hotpatch update?
The page does not explicitly state whether a restart is required. Hotpatch updates are designed to reduce reboot frequency compared to standard cumulative updates, but administrators should verify restart behavior in their specific environment before broad deployment.
Which architectures does this update support?
KB5060841 is available for both x64 and Arm64 devices running Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 2024. However, hotpatch functionality on Arm64 devices remains in public preview, so administrators should factor that status into deployment planning for Arm64 fleets.
