Woodman said that the focus right now is to continue to deliver annual feature updates for Windows 11, so that's what we'll see for now, and obviously, the official company response is that it has nothing to share at this time. Marketing decisions, such as brand names, don't come until later on. The rumored codename for that next version of Windows is Next Valley, which follows Sun Valley, the codename for Windows 11. Note that this almost certainly isn't Microsoft claiming that Windows 11 is the last version of Windows, like developer evangelist Jerry Nixon infamously did for Windows 10. The Redmond firm did say that we could get a full feature update, depending on the scope of what it plans to deliver. Microsoft said that it's going to "continue to push the build number", which is basically what an enablement package does, along with lighting up hidden features on your system. Microsoft did not commit to a cadence for these feature drops.įor the annual updates, those will likely show up in an enablement package, like we've seen from the last few years of Windows 1o development. You'll be able to get it as part of the Windows 11 preview update that shows up in late October, but if you don't opt into the preview, it will show up on Patch Tuesday in November.
As was previously rumored, the first feature drop, internally called 'Moments', will be released on November 8. These can come in the form of cumulative updates that show up on Patch Tuesday, or they can come via experience packs that are delivered through the Microsoft Store.Īll of this will continue, so the whole point is more features, more frequently.
Earlier this year, Microsoft basically announced that it's just going to be releasing features from time to time. When Microsoft introduced Windows 11 last year, it promised annual feature updates, a change from Windows 10's previous biannual feature update cadence, although it adjusted the schedule for Windows 10 as well.
