Windows 11 26H2 went GA on September 29 as an enablement package: KB5121794, one restart, and a cumulative update you have to be current on first. The catch is policy, not code. Allow Temporary Enterprise Feature Control turns on every dormant feature at the next restart rather than the one you wanted, and Microsoft’s own EPM troubleshooting page says Administrator protection breaks Endpoint Privilege Management elevation on the same device today. Read that page before you pilot either one.

Windows 11 26H2 Is an Enablement Package — 24H2 Home/Pro End October 13
Windows 11 26H2 (Build 26300.9278) is in Release Preview as an enablement package on the 24H2/25H2 servicing branch. Do not treat it as the October 13 fix. 24H2 Home, Pro, Pro Education, and Pro for Workstations lose updates that day. Enterprise 24H2 lasts until October 12, 2027. 25H2 is already GA if you cannot wait for 26H2.
