Microsoft Edge Update Cycle Changes to Biweekly Starting August

Microsoft Edge is shifting its update schedule to give users faster access to security fixes and platform improvements. The browser will now release stable updates every two weeks starting in late August 2025.

General consumers get faster security patches while enterprises keep slower timelines

The change applies to the Microsoft Edge Stable channel for general consumers. Version 152 marks the first release under this new cadence. Organizations can still choose a slower update path through Extended Stable releases, which continue on an eight-week schedule.

Microsoft designed the faster cycle to deliver security patches more quickly and keep the browser aligned with platform updates. Standard users will now receive updates every two weeks instead of the prior monthly schedule.

Extended Stable builds remain available for enterprise environments that require longer testing periods before deployment. These versions maintain the existing eight-week cadence to accommodate deliberate IT planning cycles.

Microsoft Edge now offers a choice between rapid consumer updates and measured enterprise pacing. General users will receive biweekly patches while organizations retain control over their update timeline.
