Windows 11 25H2 Adds Android Resume and Official Offline Installer Links

Microsoft released KB5074105 for Windows 11 25H2/24H2 as an optional update with Cross-Device Resume enabling Android-app handoff (Spotify, Word/PowerPoint, Copilot, and more), broader app/browser support, and the ability to disable Smart App Control without a reinstall. It also adds a new Device card in Settings, extends Windows Hello ESS to peripheral fingerprint sensors, and fixes issues like explorer hangs and a black screen. Direct download links for the offline .msu installers are published (sizes ~4–4.5 GB) for manual installation via Windows Update or Update Catalog; the update can be uninstalled if problems occur, and the large size is due to bundled AI models.
