Does anyone know if there will be something like 22H2?

 

[erpguy53]

Does anyone know if there will be something like 22H2?

for which Windows? Windows 10 or Windows 11 (or maybe both)?

22H2 for Windows 11 came out Tue. Sept. 20 (aka. public release or GA, general availability) as build 22621.382 > {x64 ESD link for Win11 22H2}
though recently Win11 22H2 got a recent "refreshed" release with build 22621.525 > {x64 ESD link for Win11 22H2 22621.525 refresh}
-both "consumer" US English releases

Windows 10 version of 22H2, on the other hand, coming sometime in October 2022 (most likely being build 19045)

 

[Octopuss]

Of course I meant Windows 10.
They do release monthly rollups, but that is not the same thing as those bi-yearly (I think) updates, which I suspect are finished.

 

[RJARRRPCGP]

I wiped my Western Digital Black SN850 1 TB SSD and installed Windows 11 22H2 on September 20.

I wiped my Western Digital Black SN850 1 TB SSD and installed Windows 11 22H2 on September 20.

Any issues?

 

[RJARRRPCGP]

Any issues?

Nope, except for what was part of the August patch-Tuesday, (if not also sometime before that) where CBS insists one or more Bluetooth files are corrupted.
Maybe if they included the September patch-Tuesday, which was one week before the 11 22H2 release, then this wouldn't happen.

But Microsoft apparently froze updates to 11 22H2 before the September patch-Tuesday.

I have 19045.2075 22H2 on my pc..

I am confused. What does it? Upgrade to Win 11? The article is not very clear.

 

[lexluthermiester]

It says Windows 10..

 

[Ivan Bliminse]

No, it gives you the 22h2 update on win 10 (don't have to upgrade to win11 to get it)

For anybody who can't wait, this enablement is readily available. It's KB5015684 in both .CAB and .MSU files. Ed Tittel posted the info on his site in late July.

 

[Octopuss]

Oh, it really is coming then.
But I can't find any info about it, which is weird. Normally they release a preview and some sort of release notes a few months before.
