Windows 11 26H2 ISOs Available for Download as Support Cycle Resets
Microsoft has released the Windows 11 26H2 ISO images for direct download, marking the 2026 annual feature update. While existing users on 24H2 and 25H2 receive the update via a tiny 174KB enablement package, the full ISO is approximately 7.9GB. This release resets the support lifecycle, extending coverage until October 2028 for consumer editions and October 2029 for enterprise versions. The update includes minor refinements to the taskbar, Start menu, and search functionality, though many features were already delivered through monthly updates.
