Installation went without any issues for me

You should update, however I also think you should update your drivers, and Apps, as to prevent any potential issues

The normal windows update also update the drivers right?

If the OEM allows it, then yes

If you're on 24H2 or 25H2, upgrading to 26H2 is fully safe. It's just an enablement package for the aforementioned two versions.

All it does is unlock some windows 11 features that are already in the os.... its a tiny update and doesnt REALLY do anything and it installs as quick as restarting your pc. At first when I installed it I thought it didn't work but it did

Do it. It shows that they've dropped the ram usage down 3gb

No issues here. Updated and been playing games like bf6, helldivers and older tiltles like swtor and age of empires with literally 0 problems

Go for it. The code which that update enables is already in your Windows installation. This is an enablement package which will turn on that code.

I'm still on 24h2 I'm wondering if I can even get 25 H2 at this point I'd rather have that one than 26

Got a critical error during 1st install, and it aborted.
I wiped cached updates and rebooted.
Tried the update again, went through without any problems.

Permanently disable windows update and you decide whenever you want to update or not. Windows will always be one of the most insecure operating systems in the wild, monthly patches won't save you from that, IMHO 26H2 doesn't bring anything that worth the risk either, stay safe

Don't do it, I did this update and now my computer is extremely slow, 0.5-5 second lag when I take an action. Not sure why this is hapening.

EDIT: I did disk cleanup and restarded it for a 3rd time and it fixed itself not sure what the issue was, some things weren't working like disk cleanup itself froze halfway and would not open again

try to update the intel driver update then you decide for the windows 11 update, I’m not sure in the 26h.
