Same. I've got 4 machines, all 4 showed it, started the installs. 2 completed. The other 2 didn't, now they show that their should be an update under the insider screen, but nothing in windows updates to apply.
Update starting to roll out today for folks in Release preview - details as follows:
>Today, we are making this year’s annual feature update **Windows 11, version 24H2** (Build 26100.712) available in the Release Preview Channel for customers to preview ahead of general availability later this calendar year.
>Windows 11, version 24H2\* includes a range of new features such as the HDR background support, energy saver, [Sudo for Windows](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/sudo/), Rust in the Windows kernel, support for Wi-Fi 7, voice clarity and more. It also includes many improvements across Windows. For example, we are introducing a scrollable view of the quick settings flyout from the taskbar, the ability to create 7-zip and TAR archives in File Explorer (in addition to ZIP), and improvements for connecting Bluetooth® Low Energy Audio devices. We will be sharing more details in the coming months on many of the new features and improvements included as part of Windows 11, version 24H2 leading up to general availability. Please note that the new AI features such as Recall announced earlier this week will not be available on your PC after installing this update today as they require a Copilot+ PC. For more information on those new AI features and Copilot+ PCs, [see this blog post here](https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2024/05/20/introducing-copilot-pcs/).
>As part of this update, we’re also evolving the Copilot\*\* experience on Windows as an app that will be pinned to the taskbar. This enables users to get the benefits of a traditional app experience, including the ability to resize, move, and snap the window – feedback we’ve heard from users throughout the preview of Copilot in Windows. This model also allows Microsoft to more agilely develop and optimize the experience based on user feedback. This change will be making is way to Insiders in the Canary, Dev, and Beta Channels shortly.
>Windows Insiders in the Release Preview Channel can install Windows 11, version 24H2 via our “seeker” experience in Windows Update. This means if you are an Insider currently in the Release Preview Channel on a PC that meets the Windows 11 [hardware requirements](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/whats-new/windows-11-requirements), you can go to Settings and Windows Update and choose to download and install Windows 11, version 24H2 if you want. Once you update your PC to Windows 11, version 24H2, you will continue to automatically receive new servicing updates through Windows Update (the typical monthly update process). For instructions on how to join the Windows Insider Program and join your PC to the Release Preview Channel, [click here](https://insider.windows.com/en-us/getting-started).
>Commercial\*\*\* customers enrolled in the [Windows Insider Program for Business](https://insider.windows.com/for-business/) can begin validating Windows 11, version 24H2 on PCs in their organizations. For these customers, the Windows 11, version 24H2 feature update is available through Windows Update for Business (WUfB) and Windows Server Update Service (WSUS). [Azure Marketplace](https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/marketplace/apps/microsoftwindowsdesktop.windows11preview?tab=overview) will be coming soon. You can learn more about deploying pre-release feature updates using [these deployment methods here](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/update/waas-manage-updates-wufb). Should any issues arise, IT admins in organizations deploying Release Preview updates can request [Microsoft Support](https://support.serviceshub.microsoft.com/supportforbusiness/create?sapId=39fc4a93-68cd-5a19-f91b-f0b349a098f3).
>And finally – ISOs will be available later today for Windows 11, version 24H2 via the [Windows Insider ISO download page](https://aka.ms/wipISO).
As always, please share feedback letting us know how things go once you get the bits :)
there is a lot of animation lag, even when using high end systems, on 24h2. it is especially noticeable when switching between virtual desktops with windows key + tab
other users are reporting it here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/windowsinsiders/comments/1d0xihw/windows\_11\_24h2\_rtm\_both\_26100560\_712\_suffers/](https://www.reddit.com/r/windowsinsiders/comments/1d0xihw/windows_11_24h2_rtm_both_26100560_712_suffers/)
Will the public 24H2 release be 26100.x too? Is there a chance it'll be 26120+?
I'm sure many would appreciate it if you allowed a window out of the Dev channel without having to clean install.
Public 24H2 release will be 26100.xxxx. 26120.xxxx is just 26100.xxxx with an enablement package on top (artificially increments the build number, still 26100 at heart), so there should be no need for a clean install.
If I had to guess they might do an off ramp similar to what Beta has atm; removing the enablement package and then getting an in place upgrade to regular 24H2 with the latest update installed.
Thanks for the tip!
Indeed, uninstalling the enablement package in Settings > Windows Update > Update history > Uninstall updates reverts the PC back to 26100 upon restart, no data loss.
Though Beta and Release Preview are still grayed out in insider settings.
Edit: regedit can force-change channels, windows update will then download 26100.712 (KB5037850). This is an impatient solution though.
It let me do it and windows update downloaded 24H2 and installed it.
Edit: After install I can't switch back to beta as I assume it's because it's now "behind" release preview.
I stepped down from Beta to Release Preview and am installing now, fingers crossed. I see the Dev channel has a 26xxx 24H2 version as well, does this mean that Beta is being phased out since it is now older than RP but there is clearly a testing build?
the Beta channel will stay on 23H2 for a couple more months to flight feature tests coming to the general public on 23H2 at a later time
it will probably switch over when 24H2 is nearing its GA, which should be in September
Thank you for posting in /r/WindowsInsiders. This subreddit is for discussions related to the Windows Insider Program, and devices running on Insider builds. Discussions and issues related to the production versions of Windows should be posted in /r/Windows10 or /r/Windows11, or in /r/TechSupport.
If you have not already, please specifiy which branch you are running (Dev, Beta, or Release Preview), and your full build number. If you are unsure, you can check by running winver from a Run window or search box. You can also go to Settings -> System -> About, and it will be near the bottom.

It took a few hours after this announcement was posted, but it is finally up on aka.ms/WIPISO
https://software.download.prss.microsoft.com/dbazure/Windows11_InsiderPreview_Client_x64_en-us_26100.iso?t=063f1365-6e67-4955-bf7e-51e5b4bae739&P1=1716507177&P2=601&P3=2&P4=bmoUWF4TQpmeyBz47g98xv77bE7iBWb6ancEPgw8zTQtdtbXj8%2bBuroFKTZsZUy2fIFPQYj2O2X9DacnFdToDJcMIHChPA0%2bzoP2CiVWpDZTfCnFYgm%2bsV3rcYrBYhgZJuwD7P%2fYxG%2fEib0%2fJ%2f%2baKBjurxE3a%2bdFPWKcq5S0y6unFwro0DW0c%2fStHofBQubXvxHJVE%2f8eYhWhobSXpiQuc4JCKDzSByKOyXm7q%2f9wOvWiO5xCWsefhygx2AUetuZFyI3AIVLSRoERl4vpCc9hVFDBEeFpGNxEtnhWbdusCOGnrxipKYFzhD5w570PuT26zKRwAnwgp8eWgFf5RtHQg%3d%3d
(This link is only valid for 24 hours)
Not sure if this link came from the link in the announcement, but it (https://aka.ms/wipISO) still lists the Release Preview download as build 26100.560, NOT 26100.712 as announced.
Is yours 26100.712?
I've not had a chance to install it yet, I need to play with it but I assume it is .560 like mentioned, it would then update to a newer version automatically via Windows Update.
I just finished installing the new Release Preview 24H2 build and I have found 2 connectivity problems.
1. Google Chrome works and all my tab pages seem to be OK. However, if I try to check for updates, it gives me an error code 3, 0x80070002 and is not able to update Chrome. I was able to get winget to update Chrome from 125.0.6422.61 to 125.0.6422.77, but when I ran that version, it still gave me the same error message. Is this a way of making it more difficult to run Chrome on 24H2?
2. The Store app was initially completely broken. It would not display anything except an error page. I did restart the system and now it does seem to be working again.
It now looks like Copilot is out of preview and when I open it, it comes up as a tab in my default browser (Chrome) which is a refreshing change.
Oh, yes - you can't miss the new Start Menu icon. It had a big blue square around it on the first time I booted up. It appears to be gone now after a few reboots.
u/jenmsft : Do you know why it's not showing up? Having a intune managed pc, but it's enrolled in release preview channel and have "get the latest updates as soon as they're available" on
I have the same issue - Enrolled my 23H2 vanilla machine in the release preview program yesterday, 24 hours later it's still not showing up when I run updates, despite the insider thingy saying a new build is out.
Have submitted feedback so hopefully useful!
This didn't show up for me at all so had to download the ISO, install that, then get the enablement package via windows update.
The new copilot app is completely broken. Opening that hangs and then just brings up a bing searchbox on a grey background.

Tried updating, it gets to 48% progress, then hard crashes with KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE and rolls back, with no minidump anywhere that I could find.
I did a fresh install from the ISO image and I couldn't activate Windows no matter what I did, even trying "my hardware changed" (even tho it didn't) didn't help.
A complete reinstall somehow solved the problem.
Yeah none of my systems get the upgrade offered. It says "new build available", but doesn't show up. The same thing happened when they released 22H2 to the RP Channel, and they eventually found the issue a month or so later. I did the ISO route because I am not going to wait again
is GTA Online working on this build? i stayed in "25393.1" build (Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.25350.1000.0) because was the last one insider version that works for GTA Online.

Cannot clean install, but this build can help me get upper, and drop out insider build.
To install this if you're an insider, go to the Windows Insider login page. Login then under the release preview click the link for Windows 11 Latest Build, then go to the iso page which is here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewiso
From there, Choose whatever version you need but the build needs to be 26100.560 - That's 24H2 preview. I've installed it over my beta insider version on 3 machines with no issues.
already rolled it back to 23H2 after installed for the first time launch on the preview channel... All of animations on desktop were so choppy (when trying to minimize and maximize some window).. and some of games (tried Dead Space Remake, and Ghost of Tsushima) crash out after the graphics stuttered like crazy
Not getting that update although the insider screen tells me there is a new build out.
same problem here, no offering 24h2 ,just the 22631.3668

Why was this pushed to RC before Beta?
Can you explain why RP got 24H2 build before beta? What is the point of beta channel now?
Is anyone else not getting flighted the build yet?
Not showing for me
Can you file feedback about this if you haven't already?
[https://aka.ms/AAqiesv](https://aka.ms/AAqiesv)

Nothing, either the „Windows update“ service tries to die, or just says that it is up to date.
Same issue here. Not yet...

Why this build has been pushed on RP before than Beta? Someone can explain me cause I cannot find an explanation
Last week I asked a similar question to Jen and she said it may happen 'sometimes' based on timing and told me to just wait it out. 🤷🏻
If you are on beta will this show up?
Had to swap down to release preview and it showed up.
Is that an option? Isn’t the swap available only one in a while in narrow time frames?
It let me do it and windows update downloaded 24H2 and installed it. Edit: After install I can't switch back to beta as I assume it's because it's now "behind" release preview.

24H2 and loading animation on login screen is still dots one from Windows 8 (instead of being the circle one as on boot screen) ...
Still can't install this. Windows Update says it is up to date but under "Windows Insider Program" it says that a new compilation is available.
Making my SPX SQ2 fly ! Please just let it stay here Microsoft..pleeeeeeeeease!
