Any news on when Windows 11 25H2 will be released for those running the 'Windows Insider - Release Preview' Servicing channel?
Previous years have been around May/June with general release then Oct/Nov, but there seems to be a delay this year for some reason.
Also, those that are running Windows Insider - Release Preview' channel stop getting "D" release preview OS patches each month once they are configured to use Windows Hotpatch. They revert back to "B" release I think is the patch Tuesday release band. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this? We are holding some devices from Hotpatching due to this.
Windows 1125H2 is available now in Windows Insider Preview! Back in July, we posted the blog Get ready for Windows 11, version 25H2 - Windows IT Pro Blog that introduced 25H2 and notified that it was coming to Insider Preview. I can confirm that it's available today because I'm running Insider Preview on the Dev channel. You can confirm the version in System -> About. 25H2 has no significant visual differences from 24H2 so you will need to confirm in the version.

We have a bunch of us that are running on Insider Preview as defined in the Windows Update Ring policies that is applied to our devices via Intune. Our accounts are also enabled for it, have been for ages. No sign of 25H2 showing up yet though. Usually sits there in Windows Update Settings waiting for us to hit install
