Summary
26H2 is now Microsoft’s official name for Windows 11’s next annual update, due later in 2026 and already available in Insider builds.
Microsoft is pitching the release as a polish-focused upgrade shaped by user feedback, with a movable taskbar, calmer Widgets, File Explorer fixes, and lower memory use.
Windows 11 will also make it easier to remove Bing web results from Start-menu searches and disable Microsoft Store app results through Settings instead of registry edits.
Edge is adding Google-account sign-in and sync, a change aimed at easing switches from Chrome as browser competition intensifies.
Microsoft executives said the company is prioritizing Windows 11 refinement over a bigger Windows 12-style reset, with an enablement-package rollout likely around October.
