In this article, we will talk about the Last Windows 11 24H2 Update in 2024, which is Build 26120.2705 in the Dev Channel.
There are some changes to the Dev Channel:
- this is just an Enablement Package, KB5037898, on top of 26100, not a full new build (26100 is still RTM)
- this will likely head to the Beta Channel at a future date, it comes from the
ge_release_svc_betaflt_prod1
branch, packages refer to the Enablement Package as a Beta EKB and it shows up in update history with a title mentioning “Beta Channel” - the purpose of this EKB and CUs is to test the remaining features for the initial 24H2 release in September as well as features planned to come after GA
- Feature Drops will probably return under a new codename (not Moments anymore).
- For Insiders in the Dev Channel who want to be the first to get features gradually rolled out to you, you can turn ON the toggle (shown in the image below) to get the latest updates as they are available via Settings > Windows Update.
