In 2025-2026, there were rumors that there will be a next Windows version in 2027 called "Windows Proxima". The Windows Proxima name was given by Louisa Dairani, a Microsoft employee. Just a few weeks before the unveiling event, leaks found out that the next version of Windows is not called "Windows Proxima" or "Windows 13", but named as "Windows 14" due to the fears associated with number 13. There were some leaked builds that referenced many new Windows version names such as "Windows 14", "Windows 13", "Windows Proxima", "Windows 12.1" and "Windows Next Generation".
In 2026, during the "Windows for the Future" event, Microsoft unveiled Windows 14 with new features, and the event was the first time they unveiled a new version of Windows in-person.
