Cancelled personal computer versions:

Cairo: Cancelled: 1996, Version: NT 4.0, Latest Build: 1175, Notes:

Originally announced at the 1991 Microsoft Professional Developers Conference, Cairo was the codename of a project whose charter was to build technologies for a next-generation operating system that would fulfill Bill Gates's vision of "information at your fingertips".[30] Cairo never shipped, although portions of its technologies have since appeared in other products.

Nashville: Cancelled: 1996, Version: 96 Or 4.1, Latest Build: 999, Notes:

Nashville was an operating system planned to have been released between Windows 95 and Windows 98, presumably under the "Windows 96" moniker.

Neptune: Cancelled: Early 2000, Version: NT 5.50, Latest Build: 5111, Notes:

Neptune, based on the Windows 2000 codebase, was planned to be the first version of Microsoft Windows NT to have a consumer edition variant. A version was sent out to testers but was never released.[31][32] The teams working on Neptune and Odyssey eventually combined to work on Windows XP.

Odyssey: Cancelled: Early 2000, Version, NT 6.0, Latest Build: [UNKNOWN], Notes:

Odyssey was planned to be the successor of Windows 2000. The teams working on Neptune and Odyssey eventually combined to work on Windows XP.

Triton: Cancelled: Early 2000, Version: [UNKNOWN], Latest Build: [UNKNOWN], Notes:

Triton was planned to be the successor of Windows Neptune and had been scheduled to be released in March 2001.

Blackcomb: Cancelled: Jan 2006, Version: [UNKNOWN], Latest Build: [UNKNOWN], Notes:

Blackcomb was originally planned to be a release of Windows following Windows XP. However, due to the large feature scope planned for Blackcomb, a smaller release codenamed "Longhorn" was planned first, and Blackcomb was delayed to 2003/2004. Both projects faced delays; Longhorn would go on to be released to consumers as "Windows Vista" in January 2007, while development on Blackcomb continued until the Blackcomb project was renamed "Vienna" in early 2006.

Vienna: Cancelled: July 2007, Version: [UNKNOWN], Latest Build: [UNKNOWN], Notes:

Vienna replaced Blackcomb and was intended as Windows Vista's successor. Vienna was eventually cancelled in favor of a new project codenamed "Windows 7" (which went on to be released in 2009 with the same name).

Polaris: Cancelled: 2018, Version: [UNKNOWN], Latest Build: 16299, Notes: Cancelled in favor of Santorini.

Santorini: Cancelled: May 18, 2021, Version: 21H1, Latest Build: 20279, Notes:

Microsoft had been reported as working on a new "lite" version of Windows as early as December 2018.[36] Such a version was officially announced under the name "Windows 10X" at an event in October 2019; the operating system was intended to first launch on dual-screen devices. In May 2020, Microsoft announced that Windows 10X would instead be launching on single-screen PCs, such as laptops and 2-in-1 devices, first.[37] However, on May 18, 2021, Microsoft announced that Windows 10X would not be launching (at least not in 2021); many of its features were instead rolled into Windows 11.

Cancelled mobile versions:

Phoenix: Cancelled: Early 2017: Notes: Cancelled when Microsoft "wound down" its phone efforts.[41]
