“#Windows 11 is moving to a yearly update model<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

One of my biggest complaints about Windows 10 was that it was simply updated too often. I even wrote a little rant about it; two \u2018major\u2019 updates a year were simply too frequent and offered too little in the way of meaningful changes.<\/p>\n

It turns out Microsoft had already decided on its update app<\/a>roach for Windows going forward. Although the announcement is a few weeks old now<\/a>, I thought it was worth highlighting: Windows 11 is moving to a yearly update model, much like Android, iOS, and macOS.<\/p>\n

To be clear, this is for significant feature updates, not smaller security updates and fixes, which will surely come more often. These annual updates, meanwhile, will arrive \u201cin the second half of the calendar year\u201d and offer two years of support for most users (three years for enterprise and education).<\/p>\n

This is a great thing. You can read more about why I think Microsoft\u2019s old update model was broken in this post, but here\u2019s the gist of why a yearly system makes so much more sense:<\/p>\n
