Microsoft could be working on Windows 12 as the next major update (Microsoft )

Windows 11 has been barely a year old but already Microsoft is rumoured to work on its successor – Windows 12. Yes, rumours have it that Microsoft is going back to a strategy of releasing a major product update every three years. This will be on par with the older version of Windows release prior to the launch of Windows 10, which was billed as the last version of Windows. That’s clearly not the case, as seen with the release of Windows 11.

A new report from Windows Central suggests that Microsoft is going back to its three-year life cycle for every Windows version. Hence, just like the old days when a new version of Windows launched every three years, we will see new Windows versions from now on. With that logic applied, the next major update to Windows 11 scheduled for 2023 has been scrapped and the team will now focus on releasing Windows 12 in 2024, says the report. Microsoft is yet to make an official announcement on this front.
