Windows 11's Hidden Features Unlocked by 26H2 Update
2 Feb
Summary
- Windows 11 26H2, a major update, is now available to Dev Channel Insiders.
- This update utilizes an enablement package to unlock existing features.
- The enablement package method allows for a smaller, more efficient update.
Microsoft has released the first preview of its upcoming Windows 11 26H2 update to Insiders on the Dev Channel. This version is poised to deliver significant new features and innovations for the Windows 11 experience. Notably, the 26H2 update is being delivered via an enablement package. This method allows Microsoft to unlock features that are already part of the operating system but have been hidden or inactive.
Using an enablement package means the update itself is much smaller in size. This approach bypasses the need for a complete reinstallation or an in-place upgrade, streamlining the update process for users. Microsoft previously employed a similar enablement package strategy for the Windows 11 25H2 update, indicating a continued focus on this efficient delivery system.
