Microsoft finally reveals that Windows 11 25H2 will release soon, and Insiders already have it

Microsoft has confirmed the upcoming Windows 11 25H2 update, which is currently in testing phases as indicated by the transition of the build name to 25H2 in the Dev version. The update will include enhancements such as improved integration of 1Password for a smoother passwordless login experience. Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel will see their version updated to 25H2 in the system settings. Microsoft plans to maintain its annual feature update schedule for the second half of the year. However, the promotion for the 25H2 update has been more subdued compared to the previous 24H2 release, possibly due to concerns about overwhelming users with new features while they are still waiting for the 24H2 rollout.
