Visual Studio 2019 v16.11 Preview Release Notes
With the release of version 16.11, we are no longer offering feature, quality, or security updates to Visual Studio 2019 Preview. To continue previewing new Visual Studio features, we recommend you install Visual Studio 2022 Preview. Use the buttons below to install. We also recommend that you install Visual Studio 2022 Preview before you uninstall Visual Studio 2019 Preview.
- The Visual Studio 16.11 minor update is now available!
- Version 16.11 is the last minor update for Visual Studio 2019, and version 16.11 has been designated as the "service pack". To remain under support for Visual Studio 2019, update to the Release Channel version of 16.11 by December 2021.
- The Visual Studio 2019 Preview Channel now contains the same functionality as the Visual Studio 16.11 Release Channel. However, the Preview does not provide go-live rights or include security or quality fixes. To continue using Visual Studio 2019, we recommend you install Visual Studio 16.11.
For instructions on installing and updating Visual Studio 2019, see the Update Visual Studio 2019 to the most recent release.

We would love to hear from you! For issues, let us know through the Report a Problem option in the upper right-hand
