Windows 11 2026 Update Brings Incremental Changes

Microsoft has released the Windows 11 2026 Update (26H2), but it's more of an incremental update than a major overhaul.

The new update uses the same shared servicing model as previous versions, and supported devices will receive it as a small enablement package rather than a full OS replacement.

For users already on Windows 11 24H2 or 25H2, the update is similar to a regular monthly cumulative update, with most of the new features already available through monthly updates.

The update does bring some exclusive new features for commercial PCs, including Windows settings backup and app-specific taskbar actions, but it's not a game-changer for individual users.
