Windows Central author Zach Bowden has outlined a rough release schedule for Windows 11 updates scheduled for release next year. Accordingly, the second update from the “Moments” series is expected to be available in February or March.
New features coming with Moment 2 update:
- Tablet version of the taskbar
- Changes in notification area and system tray
- More options for the search bar
- Energy saving suggestions in settings
- Search in Task Manager
- Full screen widget panel
- Quick access to Studio effects
- Voice access improvements
Moment 3 update and later
The Moment 3 update will be released closer to summer, in May or June. This Windows 11 update will focus on improving the user experience on single and dual screen foldable computers. It is also expected to bring changes to the search interface and a new Outlook web client.
In addition to all of this, over the next year many legacy interface elements from the Windows 8 and Windows 7 era will be updated with the new design, such as the USB autoplay interface, recovery and device rename dialogs, Windows Firewall popups.
Windows 11 version 23H2
A major Windows 11 23H2 update will be released in the fall, possibly in September or October. The Moment 4 update is also planned for about the same time. But there is a possibility that these two are the same update. Because it is not yet certain whether Moment 4 will be the 23H2 version or a separate update.
