We will have to be patient to find out all the important news that Windows 11 has in store for us. Indeed, according to recent rumors, the next major update of the operating system will be completed around May 2021 and therefore should not be available to the general public until the summer.
Although we can hardly qualify Windows 11 as a revolution, the operating system has managed to polish several outdated aspects of Windows 10, making it easier to use for beginners. But, you have to admit, users haven't had their fill when it comes to new features.
Most of the expected features are currently only available to members of the early evaluation program, and the general public (to exaggerate a bit) should be satisfied with only the new design and improved performance.
Windows 11: The next big update won't happen until the summer of 2022
So it's only natural that the next big Windows update is eagerly awaited. We were hoping to see it early next year, but unfortunately it looks like we'll have to wait a lot longer. According to rumors transmitted by Windows Central, the big news will most likely start in the summer of 2022. The final version, called Sun Valley 2, should arrive to users in May.
The 22H2 version is internally codenamed Sun Valley 2, giving it added credibility compared to the 1511, as it was codenamed Threshold 2 upon initial release. A number of built-in applications will also receive updates, including Notepad and Groove Music, which are already in the previous version.
We don't yet have specific information about the new features that Sun Valley 2 will bring. However, we can make some educated guesses based on the features currently available to early-bird members.
So it's possible that Windows 11 offers built-in support for Android apps. Users can now install APK versions using third-party apps. Other expected features may appear, such as the famous drag-and-drop on the taskbar, which disappears when switching to Windows 11.
"Following the lessons learned from Windows 10, we want to make sure we give you the best possible experience," says Microsoft. “This means that new eligible devices will receive the update first. Then, over time, this will be achieved on devices sold based on intelligent models that take into account equipment compliance, reliability parameters, age of the device and other factors that affect the quality of service."
