Windows 11’s much-awaited 24H2 update might arrive a bit later than was previously rumored, or at least that’s the most recent chatter and speculation online.

tells us that: “Windows 11, version 24H2 will be available as a traditional feature update to all devices later this year.”

Of course, that doesn’t mention any specific timeframe, but as Windows Latest and

employs here, “later this year,” is a hint (admittedly a vague one) that it’ll be Q4 rather than Q3.

Okay, so technically, later this year could mean next month, but if we were looking at an August 2024 release, it’d be a strange choice of phrasing, let’s face it.

The current rumor for the

Analysis: A case of spinning too many plates?

The reality is that

This is the hidden content, please
is doing a very different kind of update this year, with the annual upgrade for Windows 11 already having been made available – on Copilot+ PCs, anyway. That said, this isn’t the full truth of the matter, as what’s installed on those AI-focused laptops is a barebones version of Windows 11 24H2 – which is required because Copilot+ devices need to have the underpinning platform brought in with 24H2 (called Germanium).

That installation of 24H2 on Copilot+ PCs does not have all the features that’ll be introduced with the full 24H2 update when it arrives later this year. Everyone on Windows 11, Copilot+ and normal PCs alike, will get that update, with all the features on-board, simultaneously rolled out as normal.

The thing is, though, that

has had a lot more on its plate with the annual update process in 2024, due to having to do all the groundwork for Copilot+ PCs (and the work behind the scenes on Germanium). Heap on top of that a bunch of effort needed to realize new AI features, and some big ones too, including Recall, the controversial addition that was pulled. Indeed, Recall is a flagship AI feature, and one

is currently having to completely revamp (it’s even been yanked from test builds for now). Again, that’s more work.

So, this is why we aren’t particularly optimistic about a September 2024 release date, as previously rumored, any longer. Simply put,

is spinning so many plates with preparing 24H2, and other AI features, plus dealing with an almighty headache around Recall, that it’s all too easy to believe a Q4 release is at least somewhat likely for 24H2. After all, it could land as late as November (which has happened in the past with an H2 update for Windows), and

might just need more breathing room this time around.

This is, of course, pure speculation, and 24H2 could make the cut for Q3 – or September, rather (we’d be seriously shocked at an August release, frankly). As ever, we’ll wait and see, but following the progress of 24H2 in testing should give us more clues as 2024 rolls onwards.
