Microsoft moves to release new Windows every three years

Microsoft has decided to move to a new Windows development schedule that will see the company return to a more traditional three-year release cycle for major system updates. About this with reference to their own sources informs Windows Central portal.

As part of the new schedule, the next version of Windows is scheduled for 2024, which means it will be released exactly three years after the launch of Windows 11 in 2021.

Between major updates, Microsoft plans to release updates more often with new features being rolled out to users of the latest version of Windows. They will be distributed as part of the ongoing Moments program - up to four times a year, starting in 2023.

Microsoft already tested this update program by adding a weather button to the taskbar in Windows 11 earlier this year. Likewise, other new insider-tested features will appear in the OS.

As for the Windows 2024 release, little is known about this OS yet. It is currently in the early stages of planning and development, but people inside the company call it Next Valley. It is to be expected that the update will be significant.
