Microsoft may be looking into changing its release schedule for major Windows updates, and a new leak now suggests it will start after a three-year update release cycle. Therefore, we can now have details about when Windows 12 might arrive.
Windows 12 finally coming in 2024 ?? 🤔 | Everything we know so far..
A report from Windows Central points to some sources that suggest that Microsoft could release Windows 12 in 2024, which will be three years since the release of Windows 11 in 2021. This will happen while keeping the current Windows 11 updated with new features.
It seems like a change in its strategy as Microsoft had previously moved away from a three-year cycle that it used to follow in the past until 2015 when Windows 10 was released. After that, it gave a gap of about six years before finally coming with Windows 11. This comes after Microsoft announced a one-year release cycle for a major update for both Windows 10 and 11, much like how Apple and Google do every year.
It is said that after the big Windows 11 22H2 update is released (expected later this year), Microsoft will start the "Moments" engineering effort, which will ensure that new features are added to Windows 11 (and future iterations as well) at . "key points" in a year, leading to four significant updates per year. This cycle is expected to start next year.
