Microsoft quietly confirms Windows 11 version 22H2 feature update

Microsoft is celebrating Windows 11’s first birthday by releasing a major update codenamed “Sun Valley 2.” If you have a Windows 11 device, you'll get the update automatically, and it's completely free, assuming your device is already on the new operating system.

As we get closer to the release of Windows 11 Sun Valley 2, Microsoft is getting more specific about this. This time, the version number "22H2" has been officially confirmed by Microsoft itself.

A Windows update released on Thursday confirmed that the next feature update for the operating system is called "version 22H2." As you can see in the screenshot below, Microsoft ended up using version 22H2 as the working title for the next major update. This also confirms that the update is one step closer to being finalized.

#Currently, it’s unclear how the company plans to publicly name this major revision of Windows 11. It could be named after a month, or Microsoft could simply use the version number as the public name. Windows 11 version 22H2 has also appeared in several leaked Microsoft documents so far.

Of course, we already know that the 22H2 version will focus more on fixing the existing interface of Windows 11, such as the Start menu, Control Center/Notifications, native applications such as MS Paint, Windows Settings, taskbar desktop and operating system other areas.

This update is also set to restore support for taskbar drag and drop and add a new Task Manager for Windows 11.

How to Test Windows 11 22H2 Now

As always, you can download and install preview builds and start testing early builds of Windows 11 Sun Valley 2 today.

There are various channels in the Insider Program for different branches of the operating system. If you want to try out a preview version of the next major update today, you can join the Development Channel for the most technical users.

The "Development Channel" was originally used to test initial releases of Sun Valley and later Windows 11. Most app updates also appear in the development channel, as the beta channel is currently reserved for testing bug fixes.
