Microsoft released mandatory November Windows 11 updates on Tuesday that add Cloud rebuild, a recovery option that downloads Windows and device drivers even when the operating system cannot start. IT administrators can configure and initiate rebuilds remotely through the Recovery CSP.

The updates also expand memory integrity protection on eligible devices while respecting existing user and administrator choices. Cloud rebuild can remove files or use storage hardware to securely erase data before reinstalling Windows. It requires a network connection, and the sanitization option is irreversible.
