Microsoft hasn’t made any official announcement about Windows 12. From what’s been reported online, the next release named Hudson Valley Next, might show up around late 2026 or even 2027, but nothing’s confirmed yet. For now, the focus is still on improving Windows 11 with updates like 25H2 and the upcoming 26H2.
