    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.

JoshC are you able to get Windows Updates with the 26100.1.240331-1435.ge_release_SERVER_EVAL_x64FRE_en-us.iso image from Eval Center?

 

This is what I am getting when going to Settings >> Windows Update:

 

 

If I reinstall Windows Server 2022, I am able to get Windows Updates. It seems to me this Windows Server 2025 Eval image has Windows Update disabled.

I do not WSUS. Make sure you are not going to a WSUS server.
I did the update through settings / windows update. It automaticly
downloaded and installed KB5039239. You can also manually download
it from the Microsoft Update Catalog.

    I am not using WSUS either. By the way, KB5039239 is a Windows 11 Windows Update, is not for Windows Server 2025.
