oh lets see Windows 11 25H2 26200.8973 Release Preview

Has anyone seen the new "Wording" on the Windows Update Page? Ok it just downloaded a security update and installed it, but the wording in the box above sounds like, hey I don't have to install that security update, I can just wait for it to show up and be downloaded with the next cumulitive update.

Hey sorry but I don't want to wait until next month to install a security update.

Oh and by the way installing that security update did not result in additional restarts.

Does the new wording make any sense to anyone?
