Lens 2026.1.161237-latest - Release

The new Stable release of Lens Desktop is here — featuring Azure Kubernetes Service integration and improvements to Lens Prism. This release also includes UX enhancements driven by community feedback and a range of bug fixes for improved stability.

To ensure a smooth transition and minimize disruption we’ll start by rolling out the update to a small portion of our users, then incrementally increasing this number until all users have access to the update. If you have not received the update and wish to try it out, you can download this version manually at our website .
