- The 25h2 update of Windows 11 is now on the prior view channel of the version
- This is the final stage of the test, which means that its arrival is imminent
- It will not offer much in terms of new exciting features, which feels like a lost opportunity in terms of persuading people to update from Windows 10
Windows 11 version 25h2 is now in its final test stage before the annual update for this year is deployed, which should mean that the update is close.
However, if you excite what that could mean for Windows 11, it would temper those expectations, since this update will not pack much in terms of new features.
Microsoft has just announced the arrival of Build 26200.5074, which is the 25h2 update, in the launch preview channel, which, as the name implies, is the last channel for the compilations of previous view before they are launched.
However, new features are not mentioned in the blog post. In fact, everything Microsoft speaks are some things that are being eliminated, namely, Powershell 2.0 and some other bits and pieces that will only be worrisome for Windows 11 users and companies, and not for the average consumer.
Does that mean that nothing is introduced with Windows 11 25h2? No, in a word, since Microsoft will have some new features, and these will be carried out to the PCs with Windows 11 before the liberation of 25h2.
As we already know, the 25H2 update is being delivered as a qualification package, which means that the works for the new features are implemented in the Windows 11 bottom, and everything that the update does when it is launched is to move the switch, so to speak, to send those live skills.
Analysis: A Fizz of a strangely timed update?
So, although we do not know what the new features will be, what we do know is that the update will not be great. Habilitation packages are used as a way to facilitate minor updates, so 25h2 will not have large movements, but it will carry a lot of adjustments and some additions (it could not have an annual update that has not done anything other than errors corrections, of course).
However, there is probable that there will be nothing that is worth shouting, and it is a fair commitment that the heaviest characteristics, as they are, will be related to AI and only for co -pilot+ PC, which means that most people will not get them.
In some aspects, it feels like a strange moment to go out with a relative groan of an update, taking into account that Microsoft is currently in a crusade for Windows 10 users to update Windows 11.
From that perspective, it would have been intelligent to unleash an update with something that really caught the attention of people who face the support deadline of Windows 10 and wondered what to do. A kind of: “Hey, get Windows 11 and will benefit from this really great feature” to help persuade some of the caregivers of the fence to take the step.
This seems to me a lost opportunity; But, of course, Microsoft has a software development schedule that must be met, and I suppose that this is how the dice fell.
Given the additional free year (with a small capture) of additional support for the offer of Windows 10, I suppose that Microsoft can also plan to make 26h2 much stronger, since that extent of gift support will take people to the next year. Maybe that could be the launch of Windows 12, or as it can be called (although somehow, I doubt it).
Even so, on the other hand, the good point on a lower update is that, unlike Windows 11 24h2, which did an important job under the surface of the operating system, and it was a version in Buggy, an update like 25h2 should not cause too many problems in the path of technical problems.
Whatever the case, the short -term news is that Windows 11 25h2 is almost here, and we could even see it launched in October. In fact, I think that is very likely, although, of course, it will depend on how the tests work.
