Windows Server 2025 Public Preview - Windows Update issue

KB5039239 appears to be for both Win 11 and WS 2025 pre-release. That is what was installed on my WS 2025 pre-release through the Windows Update service.

MS has released a cumulative update for 24H2 Server 2025 and Client recently. .863 should now be available. I only noticed when someone on twitter said they have updated the 26100 blogpost for client saying they have started to release 24H2 again to Release Preview channel with a new patch release for it. This could be because of the 'Recall' feature they have now Recalled. Interesting that they stopped deployment of it without saying why. (https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2024/05/22/releasing-windows-11-version-24h2-to-the-release-preview-channel/). The update .863 should also now be available on your Server 2025 as both client and server are on the same build with the same monthly updates as it has shown up on both my clients and my server.

Looks like KB5039239 came out on the 15th - yesterday. Interesting to note it also applies to some version (also a per-release?) of Windows 11. Release notes among other things seems to indicate performance improvement. Being ingrained on patch Tuesday I now have to change my behavior and be patient for the per-release updates.
