Windows 11 KB5067036 Update Introduces Administrator Protection Feature

Microsoft has rolled out the KB5067036 preview cumulative update for Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2, initiating the deployment of the Administrator Protection cybersecurity feature and an enhanced Start Menu. This update is part of Microsoft’s optional non-security preview update schedule, occurring at the end of each month to test upcoming fixes and features. Unlike regular Patch Tuesday cumulative updates, these monthly non-security preview updates do not include security patches and are voluntary. To install the KB5067036 update, users can navigate to Settings, click on Windows Update, and then select ‘Check for Updates.’ Since this is an optional update, users will be prompted to install it by clicking on the ‘Download and install’ link, unless they have the ‘Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available’ option enabled, which will automatically trigger the update installation.
