NTLite prompts to download two W11 Cumulative Update patches
- Thread starter Mr. Yu
- Start date
KB5066835 is the current Monthly CU (Oct. 2025) for W11 24H2/25H2.
KB5043080 is the current Checkpoint CU for W11 24H2/25H2. The Checkpoint may be required if you apply any Language Packs, or enable Features on Demand. In theory, MS may release later Checkpoint CU's to replace KB5043080, but so far has not.
After downloading KB5043080, you can keep it in the updates cache for future use.
Some ARM64 builds are supported, you probably haven't noticed the ARM users who are posting questions for nuhi.

Thank you very much for your help, Garlin。
Compared to the 900MB of 23H2 and the total 4GB of CU and checkpoint of 24H2, I can't imagine what's packed inside. Microsoft claims that checkpoints can reduce the subsequent volume size, but I don't know if this is a lie or if it can only be reduced during online downloads. It was like a decision mistake, 25H2 abandoned it. Their approach is becoming increasingly confusing, just like Edge's video enhancement feature, where they repeatedly add and remove it without considering the user's feelings.
I have always believed that NTLite does not support ARM and embedded, but it seems like it's time for my Raspberry Pi to be reborn.
In addition, I found that Nuhi has removed the. net3.5 and. net4.8 updates for Win10. Why is this?

There's three overlapping problems with 24H2/25H2:
1. MS has never released a replacement Checkpoint, which makes the promise of smaller incremental CU's a myth.
2. Whenever there's a planned upgrade by Enablement Package, the later CU's dramatically increase in size over the summer as the new features are gradually hidden into the CU. This allows the EP to enable 25H2 features in a matter of seconds (not including the reboot).
You would think, similar to a Service Pack, that the 24H2/25H2 Checkpoint should reset about now. Even if you plan to stay on 24H2, your CU is bloated by hidden 25H2 features whether you use them or not.
3. AI-model components are refreshed by the CU, whether you have a Copilot PC or not. Michael Niehaus points out if you're updating via WU, then it skips the UUP files that don't matter for your PC. But in the offline CU, there's one version of the file for everyone, so it's filled with 1.3 GB of unusable content for most users.
Unfortunately the updates list is created by nuhi, and sometimes lags behind.

Thank you. It seems that we can roughly identify 24H2 as the test sample for 25H2. Unfortunately, LTSC is 24H2. I found the MSIX installation package for Copilot in winsxs, which may allow AI deeply integrated with the system to fully utilize graphics card computing? I couldn't find the AI component in ntlite, so it seems like we can't delete it so far unless Nuhi supports it. If it works well, I will throw away the chatgpt. I do not allow the existence of useless files.
