Microsoft will deliver the final version of Windows 11 22H2 in September, according to information transferred to The Verge to announce the Microsoft Ignite conference.

Microsoft is preparing a “hot” autumn with three events marked on the calendar: the release of the first major update for Windows 11; the tenth anniversary of the launch of Surface’s own hardware brand and the Ignite conference, the most important of the year and the first to be held in person since the start of the COVID pandemic.

Additional information, the launch of new Surface devices and the announcement of the general availability (GA) of Windows Eleven come from the announcement of this conference for developers and IT professionals, which will be held from October 12-14 in Seattle. .

Windows 11 22H2 in September

This date makes perfect sense. Although it has not yet been confirmed by Microsoft, the company usually releases major system updates between the months of September and October. Additionally, the RTM version has already been patched to build 22621 and was shipped weeks ago to manufacturers to properly test and ship drivers before pre-installing the new device.

Windows 11 22H2 will be delivered free of charge to update PCs that have valid previous Windows 11 licenses, as well as those that still remain on Windows 10 that Microsoft is trying to migrate, although it will be supported until 2025 and will receive an update at the end of the year.

Don’t expect a “revolution”, but improvements here and there. Microsoft will include the usual bug fixes and the latest security patches, in addition to continuing to implement Fluent Design in interfaces and other components.

This way they will visual and user improvements for the start menu, like the ability to create folders in the start menu by dragging one app to another, and also on the taskbar, you need important features like drag or drop the same apps to the taskbar to pin them directly. These are basic things that should have been there from the start, but you know how Microsoft decided to release “Windows 10.5” only to improve it later.

The next part of the update consists of redesign core applications and internal tools part of the system. What stands out here is the development of a new file explorer that will – finally – use the required tabs.

More news will bring more filtering capacity for notifications and alerts FocusAssist; improving accessibility for hearing-impaired users; the transfer of Widgets to the left side of the interface or the new cloud-based anti-phishing and anti-malware service for Microsoft Defender SmartScreen.
