Not long ago, Microsoft released the cumulative security update KB5058411 for Windows 11 24H2 and Windows Server 2025.

However, the size of this update is amazing, reaching an amazing 4368.9MB. In contrast, the size of the April update package KB5059087 is only 800 MB.

After investigation, it was found that the root of the problem was that Microsoft added a large number of AI-related files to the update.

Microsoft’s May update package soared to 4.3GB! Whether you need it or not, you can force your 3GB AI file.

Microsoft’s May update package soared to 4.3GB! Whether you need it or not, you can force your 3GB AI file.

According to the analysis of the user abbodi, the KB5058411 update file downloaded using 7-zip decompression will find that only about 850MB of files related to regular updates, and the remaining 3GB files are related to Microsoft’s AI application.

However, according to Microsoft, these AI functions are currently only related to Copilot+ PCs equipped with NPU, because AI functions are only planned to be installed and updated on these platforms.

Not only that, the update package is also provided to Windows Server 2025, and the practicality of AI functions in the server environment is obviously low.

This also means that although many users may not need these AI functions, they still have to download and install these huge files.

This situation reminds people of Microsoft’s plan to optimize the volume of updates proposed in November 2021, when Microsoft said that it would phase out old updates to improve download and installation speeds and enhance security.

But now Microsoft doesn’t care about packaging AI content into updated files, which seems to be getting further and further away from the previous goal.

According to IT Home on May 22, several sources have recently reported that the Nintendo Switch 2 ported version of many Xbox games is under development, and the official may announce the relevant news soon.

According to Tom Warren, a reporter from the foreign media The Verge, yesterday, while Microsoft announced that Hellblade II: Senna’s Legend Enhanced Edition will be launched on PlayStation 5 this summer, Microsoft is also providing Nintendo Switch 2 He is developing ported versions of some Xbox games, which he expects to be released soon.

Well-known whistleblower NateTheHate also revealed similar news on X. It is expected that in the next few weeks during the “non-E3” period, players are expected to see the debut of the first batch of transplants.

IT Home Note: E3, known as Electronic Entertainment Expo, is one of the largest and most well-known interactive entertainment exhibitions in the world.

It is generally expected that Switch 2 will be a great success in the early stage of its launch. At present, it is not clear which Xbox games will land on the platform, but according to the foreign media Wccftech, there are rumors that Halo: Chief Sergeant Collection and Microsoft Flight Simulator may launch the Switch 2 version. In particular, the latter has extremely high technical requirements. If it can really run smoothly on the new model, it will be a technological breakthrough.

Fast technology news on May 19th, Microsoft has eliminated the control panel has made new progress, Microsoft has “language settings for non-Unicode programs” and “copy the current user settings to the welcome interface and system account/new user account” two language-related options from the control panel to the settings application.

Specifically, these two settings can be found in the “Language & Region” section under “Time & Language”, a change that means that they may be removed from the dashboard entirely in the future.

For now, these options are still hidden by default in Windows 11 Preview builds in the Dev and Beta channels, and Microsoft may be working on further optimizations for them.

The Language Settings for Non-Unicode Programs is used to specify the character encoding (code page) used by default for non-Unicode applications that rely on legacy culture encoding standards (such as ANSI or other legacy encoding) to display text and process data.

Setting this option correctly ensures that older applications developed before Unicode became a multilingual text encoding standard are running.

The “Copy User Settings” function synchronizes the current user’s display language, keyboard layout, and other regional settings to the welcome screen (login screen) and the newly created account to ensure that the system interface language experience is consistent.

Microsoft has been gradually migrating features from the Control Panel to the Settings app, following the keyboard’s character repetition delay and repetition rate options, as well as the mouse’s pointer tracks, pointer shadows, and customizations, from the Control Panel to the Settings app.
