About this tag
The lifecycle reset tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about how Microsoft resets the support clock for Windows devices when they adopt a new feature update. A key example is Windows 11 version 25H2, which arrives as an enablement package that activates features already staged in the 24H2 servicing stream.

The tag focuses on the operational and servicing implications of these lifecycle resets for enterprise IT and Windows users.
