Hi

I ran windows update today and found a update in the image below.

Is this official and safe to download now?

Thanks David.
 
I would always give a bit of time before updating to a new feature update.

Let others report the issues with it and get them ironed out before installing it but that's just me. You could install it and have no issues at all.

I've just ran Windows Upaates and not had this appear but this is normally gradually rolled out rather than given to everyone at aonce.
 
I just got this notification on my PC too. Really only interested in the start menu personalisation and file explorer enhancements. Think I'll leave it for a few days to see how it is received.

You can use Group Policy Editor to defer the updates if you want.

Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> Windows Update >>Manage update offered from Windows Updates >> Select when Preview Builds and Feature Updates are received

Think I've set mine to a year, should be enough time for them to sort their **** out :cry:
 
Same, mine updated today too, went smoothly.

Taskbar has the option to be bottom, top or side, however, was a little surprised that the option to hide taskbar only works if on the bottom of the screen. I'm sure this will change.

I updated earlier and all seems fine so far. Update was very quick so can't have been very big (70Mb internet)
 
Still running 25H2, as others have said above, I tend to wait to find out if there's any major problems before deciding to upgrade.
 
Appeared on my home PC last night, can see it on my work one this morning so going to test it on that.

With an update last week breaking Wardogs from running going to hold off on home PC for now.

Windows 11 26H2 is now rolling to everyone, how to get it right now, and is it even worth installing?

Windows 11 26H2, "Windows 11 2026 Update," is now rolling out, and you can download it by going to Settings > Windows Update.

Windows 11 26H2 comes with NOTHING new for consumers. Yes, that’s the answer nobody is going to tell you on the internet. There are no visible changes that you cannot already have on Windows 11 25H2 or even 24H2. And as I noted at the outset, it’s because Microsoft does not want to disrupt its own efforts to make Windows more stable.

However, Windows 11 26H2 turns on features that have been gradually rolling out, so you might actually have a few new features enabled on your PC if they were disabled previously due to the gradual rollout.

Didn't 26h2 have issues with Battlefield 6 and Wardogs anti cheat? - I've yet to install it here

I wonder if there were any other issues it caused with EAC. I randomly stopped being able to play Vermintide 2 with anti cheat on as the game just wouldn't load. I'd have to attempt to run it multiple times and hope it would work, or run the game in the unofficial realm which would disable anticheat.

Edit: I updated to 25h2 earlier, but it's still borked. Boooooooooooooooo.
