(Translated) Windows configuration update KB5035942 Windows 11 Moment 5 features are being prepared/activated

Microsoft is currently distributing the new Windows configuration update as KB5035942. We already know from previous function updates that this type of update prepares or activates a function update. ..

The Windows configuration update are updates that are activated using Controlled Feature Rollout (CFR) technology. So new functions that those who have the switch to “On” receive in advance. All others will receive these functions later with a regular update (Patchday)…

So if you notice KB5035942 again in Windows Update, or if it appears in the update history -> Further updates. Everything is correct.

Yes.
Moments 5 is installed silently behind the back of users.

First off I disagree with how this is worded.

1. a preview update is not silent.  YOU opted in to get preview releases.  I have a consumer windows 11 and it does not see this update pushed to it .
2. When the update was installed – The machine rebooted. that is NOT quiet or silent.
3. Now then after this preview update is installed it is true that features are turned on aka dribbles, sprinkles, etc.

So to Alex, no they are not silently installing it behind the backs of users.  Someone is opting in.
