14 DAY TRIAL // The first major Windows 11 update is now live with lots of improvements, including a public preview of Android apps on the desktop, and everybody is wondering if this is all we’re getting for the operating system in 2022.
This is because Microsoft has pledged for a one big update per year policy, which in theory means that Windows 11 is supposed to get one large feature update every 12 months.
However, the update released today isn’t this annual update, and what’s more, Microsoft too is promising to release more such improvements in smaller updates on a regular basis.
In other words, there’s no need to wait for Windows 11 feature updates to get more improvements when the company can use these smaller updates for the whole thing.
Still no ETA for the next pack of improvements
“Windows 11 is designed to bring you closer to what you love, and these new experiences continue to make it easier for you to work, play, create and connect, no matter where you are or how many screens you have. As today’s release shows, we’re committed to delivering experiences into Windows 11 that enrich and inspire people’s lives,” the company explained today.
“Over time, you’ll see us release new features into Windows 11 for end users more frequently in addition to our annual update. We will leverage the variety of update mechanisms we have in place including servicing and Microsoft Store updates. Our goal is to deliver continuous innovation, providing you with the best experiences year-round.”
Of course, there’s no ETA as to when the next pack of improvements could land, but on the other hand, some of the goodies that are currently in the Windows Insider program should make their way to the production builds of Windows 11 rather sooner than later.
