Microsoft has started rolling out KB5074105, an optional preview update for Windows 11 that offers an early look at features scheduled for next month’s Patch Tuesday release. The highlight of the update is an improved version of Smart App Control (SAC), the built-in security system designed to block potentially harmful applications.

Under the update, users would be able to keep their personal customizations active while still preventing the conversation itself from being saved or used to shape their broader account history. That means preferences such as tone, style, and certain memory-based settings…
