In fact, Windows 11 versions 25H2 and 24H2 also show those same issues on their respective Windows Release Health pages. However, it\u2019s possible for your PC to not be experiencing these issues now but start experiencing them once you upgrade to Windows 11 26H2. Meanwhile, if you\u2019re already experiencing them, you\u2019ll likely keep experiencing them post-update.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Microsoft has marked these issues as \u201cmitigated,\u201d the reality is that they still persist and Microsoft is still investigating solutions.<\/p>\n<p>What should you do?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you haven\u2019t yet noticed the issues above and absolutely don\u2019t want them to happen on your PC, you should wait until Microsoft reports that these issues have been fixed before installing Windows 11 26H2.
