Microsoft suggests Windows 1122H2 may be named Windows 112022 Update when released

We've known for some time that a major feature update for Windows 11 is on the way, but so far Microsoft has been tight-lipped about the public/commercial name and ETA.

The next feature update for Windows 11 is officially known internally as "Version 22H2" and "Sun Valley 2/SV2". However, the public or commercial name of Windows 11’s first major update is still unknown.

A new reference in Microsoft's "Get Started" app suggests that the update will be called "Windows 11 2022 Update," hinting at a focus on "2022," which also ends the old naming convention . As you can see in the screenshot below, the promotion appears when you open the Getting Started app.

The promotional message that now appears to have disappeared read "You are now running Windows 11 2022 Update! Read on to discover new features and set it up to your liking." Of course, the app doesn't provide us with additional details when we click the button.

"Windows 11 2022 Update" doesn't hint at the future or philosophy of Windows at all.

It’s worth noting that the name of “Windows 11 2022 Update” has not yet been determined, and it may be one of the commercial names the company is considering, so everyone should take it with a grain of salt for now.

What we know about Windows 11 version 22H2 so far

Microsoft has confirmed that Build 22621 is the RTM/final version of Windows 11 22H2, and reports suggest that the update may arrive as early as September 20 Launched today for the first wave of devices.

Like all previous feature updates, it will go live in Windows Update for new hardware and users can download it by clicking the Download/Install button. These users are officially considered "seekers," those who are willing to try the update before it rolls out automatically.

Microsoft plans to accelerate the rollout in October and November as it gets more feedback from early adopters.

In terms of new features, Windows 11 22H2 will restore the highly anticipated missing feature “drag and drop” support for the taskbar. It will also come with a redesigned task manager that will use WinUI and Fluent Design materials, including Mica and Acrylic.

This feature update also includes Start menu improvements, faster context menus, Windows Spotlight on the desktop, and tab support in File Explorer (reportedly coming at a later date).
