My question is more specific to whether Windows Update is offering the download to those that are not signed in as an Insider.

I'm not on the Insiders program so I just grab an msu. When the final version comes out in the fall, updates will then come through Windows Update.

I saw in a MS forum that they got it also as non-insider.

Interesting, seems so far only build 994 had the requirement.

Have you got a URL for this MS forum post you're talking about?

This update messed up Winget for me. When I ran winget list, a lot of odd things showed up I'm not used to seeing. Also, when I ran the DISM routine, I had to restore health.

Yeah you still get it even when not an insider

There are iso's of Windows 11 24H2 including Release Preview Channel version 26100.863 here:

Download Windows Insider Preview ISO

Re activation Microsoft state:

Windows Insider Preview Activation
You will need to install the Windows Insider Preview build on a device that has been previously activated with Windows or with a Windows product key, or after a clean install, attach a Microsoft Account (MSA) that has a Windows license digital entitlement linked to it.

I haven't installed one of these iso's so this is FYI only.

I'm on the main release branch (not Release Preview) and just received the KB5039304 update. Build has been raised to 26100.1000.
Fast installation, everything is perfect otherwise.

I've had to run /restorehealth for every 24H2 update so far, never once on 23H2.
At least we know it's specific to one machine.

Winget looks fine here but then it's not something I use often.

Hello Windows Insiders, today we’re releasing Windows 11 Build 26100.994 (KB5039304) to Insiders in the Release Preview Channel on Windows 11, version 24H2 (Build 26100). This update includes t

This is for 26100.994 what about the Release Notes for 26100.1000? I read elsewhere that there was only one change but it was unclear.

Changes listed here:

The only addition compared to the 26100.994 list appears to be this:
"The Input Method Editor (IME) candidate list fails to show or shows in the wrong position. This update addresses this issue."

I updated the underlying winget-ci to the most recent stable version. No errors running wingetUI on top of it.

I have 26100.1000 showing as an optional update as a non-Insider. That's typically what I've seen in the past when a public preview with the same build number gets offered on the following Patch Tuesday. It sort of makes sense and may explain why .994 did not show up in WU for non-Insiders.

The only question left is what the final build will be when all the channels converge.

Good Question! Look at all of the Builds labeled as 24H2? Confusion at it's highest.
