Microsoft keeps polishing Windows 11 with new features, while Teams adds tighter AI controls

Microsoft has already confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 as the next annual feature update, and it is expected in the second half of 2026. The release will follow the same enablement-package model as 25H2, meaning the version change will be small even as Microsoft continues shipping features and interface changes through monthly updates. windowscentral.com

One of the more notable Windows 11 threads is that Microsoft has a built-in Pro for Workstations edition that sits above Windows 11 Pro. It removes more consumer clutter and adds capabilities like ReFS support, up to four CPU sockets, and as much as 6 TB of memory, making it the closest thing to a Windows 11 "Pro Max" tier. techpowerup.com

Microsoft is also giving Teams users more direct control over its meeting AI. A new toggle lets organizers and presenters switch Meeting AI, including Copilot and recap features, on or off during a meeting, with the U.S. rollout expected in early to mid July and the global rollout by the end of July. xda-developers.com
