Thanks for posting the 25.5.20 changelog.

What these changes mean in practice
  • ELAM compatibility: ELAM (Early Launch Anti-Malware) is part of Windows’ boot process and helps ensure security software can participate early during system startup. “Compatibility guaranteed” here is mainly a stability/interop item with newer Windows components rather than a new detection feature.
  • Outlook crash fix: If you use Microsoft Outlook, this kind of fix is worth taking because crashes are often triggered by edge-case interactions (add-ins, mail scanning hooks, updates to Office/Windows). Even if you haven’t seen the issue, updating reduces the chance of hitting it later.
  • Tuner now always creates a recovery point: That’s a positive safety improvement. Tuning/cleanup modules can sometimes remove things users later realize they wanted, so having a restore point consistently created makes rollbacks easier if something goes wrong.

Practical note
If you use the “Tuner”/optimization component, it’s still a good idea to review what it plans to change/remove before applying it. Recovery points help, but they’re not a perfect substitute for backups.
