Every three years?It is reported that the follow-up version of Windows 11 is updated radically: Microsoft pushes new features wildly

For Microsoft, how to update Windows 11 and how often the version is updated are of great interest to users.

A new report from Windows Central’s Zac Bowden reveals a change in Windows’ release schedule.

According to Bowden’s sources, new Windows versions are now set to be released every three years, while Windows versions of the current mainstream life cycle, such as Windows 11 now, will get more frequent updates.

This is completely different from what Microsoft officially says is the major annual update of Windows 11 and Windows 10. Instead, it appears that Microsoft is now turning to increasing the frequency of Windows 11 updates in a feature-dropping fashion. These features roll out to engineering teams called “moments,” and new Windows 11 experiences appear outside of major releases at various points throughout the year.

Starting next year, the frequency of launching new features may be every few months, up to four times a year. We’ve already seen this when Windows 11 has a weather widget on the taskbar.

As such, users can expect Microsoft to combine different features in testing with the Windows Insider program, and then make these rollouts. It’s a bit similar to how Google often does different software updates for Pixel phones, where major Pixel feature releases often bring new features.

As for the next major Windows release, that’s still a long way off. Didn’t even know the project’s codename, and while he’s heard some call it “Next Valley,” Microsoft hasn’t officially commented on the rumors.
