A few weeks ago, Microsoft started the general rollout of Moments 5, the latest feature update for Windows 11. However, as we told you at the time, it was an optional update available on Windows Update and in the catalog. Until now, only those users who explicitly switched to one of the two sources had its functions in order to proceed with its installation.

Moments 5 is so far the latest Windows 11 update to follow successful Windows XP service pack modelseparates these improvements from the major operating system updates, i.e. version 2nH2 of each year. In this very complete special from my colleague Juan, you can see in detail all the new features that this update brings, as well as the steps you had to take to install it if you wanted it.

However, as you can see, I am speaking in the past tense, and that is Microsoft just released update KB5036893, which is part of its monthly security update program, its celebrated Patch Tuesdays, updates that should not be missed because they address security issues. However, on this occasion we found a surprise inside as it comes with a surprise in addition to the expected and expected security improvements.

Available to users of version 23H2, This month’s Patch Tuesday update KB5036893 for Windows 11 includes Moments 5This means that Microsoft has decided to include its April Patch Tuesday in a larger update that, instead of focusing exclusively on what we expect from these updates, uses it for other purposes as well. And it’s no small thing, because as you can see in the special I posted earlier, Moments 5 has quite a few new features… including the deployment of Copilot, and that already makes us think about where the footage is going. .

The deployment of Moments news looks like a success to me, I find the list of news in Moments 5 interesting, and as I suggested a while ago, the Patch Tuesdays program seems to me to be one of the best ideas they have in Redmond to protect the security of Windows users. However, necessarily link security updates with the deployment of other new featuresas they did on this occasion seems to me a clear mistake.

Installing updates in Windows is something that requires a certain security policy, which in summary consists of wait a few days (or weeks) after publishing until you verify that there are no failures on the systems that performed this step. However, this is very different if we are talking about security updates, because in these cases caution advises not to delay their installation. And yes, it’s true that Moments 5 has been out for a while now and it doesn’t seem like it’s causing any major problems, but I’m sure many people would rather wait.

I understand as already indicated The presence of a co-pilot in Moments 5 is no accident. Microsoft has made a huge investment in its AI platform, and it’s only natural that it’s trying to extend its reach as much as humanly possible. However, in this case, I think they went too far because it could cause users to give up on the April Tuesday patch due to rejection, and that’s worrying, very worrying and a bad precedent.
