Microsoft has just released Windows 11 build 26H2 to everyone . You probably already know that the update is rolling out gradually. However, if you want it now, you don't have to wait. Below we'll show you how to get the new update immediately, without any delays.
If your device meets the requirements, open Settings > Windows Update and enable “Get the latest updates as soon as they're available.” 
Then, check for updates and version 26H2 should appear. Simply download and install it. Your device will reboot and you're good to go. Since your system is already up to date, installing this update won't take long. The process will complete very quickly. Afterwards, you can turn off the option to download the latest updates again to avoid any unpleasant surprises in the future, such as a problematic update.
If you use your computer for business or mission-critical tasks, there's no need to rush this update. For regular users, Microsoft follows a controlled release process, during which it may place temporary restrictions (safeguard holds) on devices with known compatibility issues.
If you're worried about your devices being negatively affected, just wait; the update will be installed later, when Microsoft determines that your system is ready to receive it.
One of the reasons why the installation of this update is so fast is that it is provided as an “enablement package” for supported systems.
This is a light update that enables new features that were already added to Windows 11 through previous monthly updates. Versions 26H2, 25H2, and 24H2 share the same servicing branch and the same underlying code architecture. According to Microsoft, this approach makes the update process much faster compared to traditional operating system upgrades.
Let us know in the comments if you have already proceeded with this update or if you prefer to wait until it is installed automatically.
Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
