Windows 11 22H2

Microsoft has confirmed that RTM for Windows 11 22H2 is build 22621, currently in beta. Given that the company will allow drivers to be sent to its partners until September 5, we can already expect a general availability (GA) release date for all users: at the end of September or in October. This is the case if there are no serious deficiencies that would force a postponement.

Windows 11 22H2 will be the first major system update and will be delivered free for teams with a valid license the same or those that still remain in Windows 10, which, remember, will have official support until October 2025.

Microsoft will include the usual bug fixes and the latest security patches; will continue to implement Fluent Design into other components; restores internal applications with File Explorer as one of the most anticipated; Improves the main elements of the user interface, such as the taskbar or the Start menu (needed as food….); complement specific security features against specific phishing and encryption of personal data; expands the features of the Alert and Notification system with Focus Assist and improves accessibility for users with hearing problems.

We do not expect a revolution. Yes, greater stability and support for all the concepts we have seen since launch. Until Microsoft dares to abandon all previous legacy components and makes an ambitious commitment to the Windows Core OS project, there will be no “revolution.” Will we have to wait for Windows 12?
