Microsoft announced Windows 11 25H2 as the next update with a simpler installation process than before.

The update will use a shared servicing branch to deliver only missing code through Windows Update.

This contrasts with the full code swap in early 2025 that took nearly two hours on older devices.

Although no official release date was given, a rollout is expected around September or October.
