Everybody knows already that Microsoft is focusing on a major Windows 11 update called Sun Valley 2, and while it's expected to go live in the second 1 / 2 of the year, the software giant has so far remained tight-lipped about this highly anticipated release.

In the meantime, however, the organization has (pretty much) accidentally confirmed the existence of the Sun Valley 2 update within an announcement published in the Feedback Hub.

As spotted by Xeno on Twitter, Microsoft discussed the development of a brand new Settings design in Sun Valley 2, using the company later removing the update reference when the Internet noticed it.

"As a part of SV2 we redesigned a number of Settings pages to ensure they are updated and in conjuction with the remaining app. Prerequisites: All SV2 builds flighted after March 15th may have these features enabled automatically," Microsoft said within the original announcement - SV2 means Sun Valley 2.

The rollout of Windows 11

Before Microsoft ships the following major update for Windows 11, the organization first needs to complete the rollout of the operating-system itself.

The software giant confirmed back in January that Windows 11 entered the ultimate rollout stage, using the process likely to be completed in the very first half of the entire year.

"The upgrade offer to Windows 11 is entering its final phase of availability and it is designated for broad deployment for eligible devices. Since the launch of Windows 11 in October, we view strong demand and preference for Windows 11 with individuals upgrading their eligible PCs at twice the speed we had for Windows 10. Based on this trend, we are advancing the pace of the rollout faster than we originally announced and entering the final phase of availability for Windows 11 ahead of our initial plan of mid-2022," Microsoft said.
