The Redmond giant has confirmed that it is via the links provided in the optional update KB5015684 works on Windows 10 22H2a major update for Windows 10 that will arrive at the end of this year, probably between October and November, and which will extend the support period for said operating system, as has always been the case with this type of update.

It is strange that we are talking about Windows 10 22H2 when we have Windows 11 on the market, and even more so when we have already started to see rumors of a possible Windows 12 for 2024, although the truth is that there are still many doubts in this sense, we do not know for sure whether Microsoft really wants to launch a new operating system on this date. It’s a possibility, but not confirmed, so we have to take it with caution.

Importantly, this means that Microsoft will not only continue to support Windows 10 until 2025, but also that the operating system it will continue to receive updates that introduce improvements and new featureswhich means that users of this operating system will not have much reason to consider upgrading to a more recent version, especially if their computer does not fully meet the requirements of Windows 11.

As for the news that Windows 10 22H2 will introduce, everything seems to indicate that it will be one of the most modest major updates that Microsoft has released for the mentioned operating system. It deserves to be considered an important update because it changes the version of Windows 10, will extend the support cycle and bring new features, but at the same time we should not expect too great improvements in this respect.

This has a positive side, that updating to said version should be done quickly, safely and without problems, at least in theory, since we already know what happens with Windows 10 updates on many occasions, and recently the problems have been reconfirmed .

It is said that most of the new features that will be introduced by Windows 10 22H2 are already installed, albeit in a quiescent state, on all computers running Windows 10 2004 or later. We don’t have a complete list of changes, but the most interesting news of Windows 10 22H2 would be focused on productivity and safetywhich means professional users will benefit the most from this update.

For regular consumers, it appears that Windows 10 22H2 will bring only minor changesbug fixes and other minor improvements that may be security focused.

Windows 10 and Windows 11 will continue to coexist for the next few years, although if the launch of Windows 12 is finally confirmed in 2024, it will be interesting to see how the former ends its last year of life, the operating system that arrived in 2015 and that, as we already said, it will be supported until 2025, which means life cycle of 10 years.
