Windows 11 Start Menu fully rolls out ahead of major 26H2 overhaul

Windows 11’s Start Menu has completed the latest rollout for versions 24H2 and 25H2, introducing a scrollable single‑page layout, an All Apps category view, and an option to hide the Recommended section. Future 2026 updates will add per‑section visibility toggles and a resize feature with Small/Large presets, all under a new JSON‑based configuration that admins can push via Group Policy or CSPs. In the meantime, users can tweak settings in Settings > Personalization > Start, while admins can enforce layouts with gpedit.msc and gpupdate /force. Microsoft also aims to improve performance with a Low Latency Profile and a WinUI‑based rewrite of the Start Menu, though a public date for that rebuild hasn’t been announced; the 26H2 release is expected later in 2026.

Microsoft has extended Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: Azure Edition hotpatching through October 2027, allowing enrolled systems to receive monthly security updates without rebooting by patching running processes; non-hotpatch updates still require restarts. The extended support end date for Windows Server 2022 editions remains 2031 for broader SKUs.

Windows 11 26H2 Coming Soon: Tiny Enablement Upgrade for 24H2/25H2

Microsoft says Windows 11 version 26H2 will be the next feature update. Devices on 24H2 or 25H2 can upgrade via a tiny enablement package (~174 KB) that activates existing features after a restart, while 23H2 and older require a full 6.5 GB upgrade. The three releases share the same servicing branch, allowing unified security updates and testing; hardware requirements are not expected to change, and 26H2 is anticipated later this year after Insiders in the Dev Channel test it.

Countdown to Secure Boot: What If You Miss the June 2026 Certificate Update on Windows 11

Microsoft explains that the original Secure Boot certificates (2011) expire in June 2026 and will be replaced by 2023 certificates through a phased CFR/LCU rollout. Legacy BIOS devices won’t be updated, and Secure Boot must be enabled; the process may involve several reboots and resealing BitLocker keys. If you ignore the deadline, Windows will boot but security will be degraded because boot-critical updates and DBX revocation lists won’t be applied, potentially blocking future OS upgrades that rely on the 2023 chain. Enterprises should test deployments, monitor Secure Boot status in Windows Security, and plan PXE/boot-manager changes accordingly. Servers require manual intervention, and the 2023 certs are projected to last until 2038 with further shifts toward post-quantum certificates later on.

AI spurs more software projects, not layoffs, Morgan Stanley finds

Morgan Stanley’s report argues that generative AI accelerates software creation but raises demand for senior engineers to architect, validate, and integrate AI-driven workflows. Rather than a broad reduction in developers, AI shifts bottlenecks downstream to review, testing, security, and release, enabling more projects and signaling sustained demand for infrastructure and platform software in an AI-augmented development era.
