Windows 11 26h2

[esK`]

So far so good, not noticed any issues yet.

While the enablement package is tiny, check the full ISO file size.

 

[scubes]

is this the update with the AI agents?

That's some increase is size there!

Apparently 26h2 reduces the ram usage of the os by up to 2GB.

Shame it had to take the AI craze for them to do this.

Just reporting back that I did the update to 26H2 a few days ago, and have had no issues at all.

 

[tamzzy]

guess it's time for me to jump aboard the 26h2 then!

 

[ED209]

I've just had it install on to my work laptop and its currently pending a reboot.

If they binned their Electron crap then you could reduce it by a hell of a lot more than that!

Ditto webview2 crap.

I was surprised by the 8.4GB. This shows how the size has increased

Just about fit on a dual layer disc.

I remember installing Windows 95 from 13 floppy disks. I remember 13 because the last floppy was corrupt. I had 3 or 4 attempts always failing on the last disk.

Got rid of Edge & webview2. No chromium at all on the machine so it runs 2-4GB lighter & doesn't have the massive (instant) memory hit anytime webview2 crap runs (including "Search", which can no longer run).

Also stopped updates to everything bar Defender by taking ownership of "TrustedInstaller.exe" and removing system privileges. Now Windows is incapable of installing updates or "fixing" my system (without permission) so it can do updates again. Should I want to try their fixes crap again its fairly trivial to do so. Won't be happening though as this is the last Windows machine I use & that's only for a couple of programmes which I've been too busy to sort out.

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.

Thats what H1 is for... H2 is all of H1 bugs addressed

Seems stable so far, not noticed any speed improvements but there are probably many under the hood.

 

[rchads89]

Had issues launching and running BF6 & Wardogs on the new update have these little glitches been fixed now does anyone know?

 

[sleepycompass]

I'm having sporadic issues with the start menu not always showing list of installed programmes until I change the display view from list to category etc.
