In early 1996, Microsoft released the first OEM Service Release of Windows 95, which was also released to the public as a Service Pack for the RTM build. This is the first version of Windows to include [[Internet Explorer]] in its version [[Internet Explorer 2|2]], although some OEMs already shipped [[Internet Explorer 1]] with the RTM build. It also introduces infrared support and fixes for bugs which affected the RTM build. | In early 1996, Microsoft released the first OEM Service Release of Windows 95, which was also released to the public as a Service Pack for the RTM build.

In the middle of 1996, Microsoft released the second OEM Service Release of Windows 95, which includes various new features such as FAT32 support, [[Internet Explorer 3]], a newer version of MSN, as well as features that were previously exclusive for [[Microsoft Plus! 95]] such as DriveSpace 3 or Scheduled Tasks (formerly System Agent). An update to it, known as the OEM Service Release 2.1, was released in the end of 1996, which not only updates Internet Explorer to version 3.02, but it also includes [[w:USB|USB]] support in form of an update package. It is not pre-installed by default, since USB support was still in an early state. It eventually caused Windows to crash more frequently. Another update, known as the OEM Service Release 2.5, was released in 1997 and updated Internet Explorer to version 4.0, along with it the Active Desktop enhancements, although on incompatible devices, it still ships with IE 2. This is the last update for Windows 95 before being replaced with Windows 98. | In the middle of 1996, Microsoft released the second OEM Service Release of Windows 95 (codenamed ''Detroit''), which includes various new features such as FAT32 support, [[Internet Explorer 3]], a newer version of MSN, as well as features that were previously exclusive for [[Microsoft Plus! 95]] such as DriveSpace 3 or Scheduled Tasks (formerly System Agent).
