The Redmond giant has not yet confirmed the release date of Windows 11 22H2, but everything seems to indicate that it will arrive in the coming weeks, and that it will not exceed September 20. This is a level one update, which means it will introduce new features and extend the support cycle for that operating system, just like the semi-annual updates in Windows 10.

Among the most important news that will arrive with Windows 11 22H2, we can highlight the restoration of the drag and drop function on the taskbar, improvements in the Start menu at the level of customization and new task manager. We can also expect an improvement at the level of stability and performance in general. This update has been available in the beta testing channel for some time and is complete.

Although Windows 11 22H2 is the highlight that Microsoft has prepared for us, it will not be the only update that the Redmond giant will launch before the end of 2022. According to various reports, the company is working on “Moments 1” and “Moments 2”two sets of new features that could start arriving in October of this year, which will be outlined as minor updates.

It is something very curious and very interesting because Microsoft not used to using minor updates introduce new features, although we still do not have a complete list of changes that both updates will introduce, so for now we can only wait to see what the American company will surprise us with. As we predicted, “Moments 1” should arrive in October, specifically in the first week, and “Moments 2” should arrive sometime in 2023, since they are still in the earlier stages of development.

According to the information we have right now, “Moments 1” will introduce some long-awaited features, such as tabs and the new Windows 11 File Explorer sidebar, and also activates a function called “Suggested Actions” that will offer us instructions on the next steps to follow based on the text we have selected in certain applications such as Microsoft Teams.

We don’t know what prompted Microsoft to take these steps, but the Redmond giant probably wants it accelerate the arrival of new features in Windows 11and avoid the user having to wait for level one updates to be released in order to enjoy new features that are already finished and ready to be activated that will greatly enhance the value and capabilities of said operating system.
