Test both release and PR flows after GitHub updates windows-latest to Visual Studio 2026.
GitHub message follows:
As previously announced, the "windows-latest" and “windows-2025” labels in GitHub Actions will be migrated to use Visual Studio 2026 by default.
This change will be rolled out over a week beginning June 8, 2026 and will complete by June 15, 2026.
During this period your workflows will gradually switch over to the new image with Visual Studio 2026 as the default. If you want to do advance testing prior to the migration, you can follow the instructions below.
[IMPORTANT] The switch to Visual Studio 2026 may break your workflows if you depend on Visual Studio 2022.
