Windows 11 22H2 (Sun Valley 2) RTM build 22621 general availability after Sept. 5, 2022


  • Staff
UPDATE 8/16:

UPDATE 6/7:

UPDATE 5/24:
Windows 11, version 22H2 certification build

Minimum acceptable build for Windows 11, version 22H2 certification is RTM build (i.e. 22621).

Windows 11, version 22H2 based systems may ship with drivers that have achieved compatibility with Windows 11, version 21H2 until Sept 5th, 2022.
Partners looking to achieve compatibility for systems shipping with Windows 11, version 22H2 Release may use drivers for components that achieved compatibility with Windows 11, Version 21H2 until Sept 5th, 2021



Whispers and murmurs about Windows 11 22H2 (codenamed Sun Valley 2) reaching release to manufacturing (RTM) status soon have been doing the rounds for a while now, with a report suggesting that it is happening this month itself. Another more recent report claimed that the latest Beta Channel build 22621 was the RTM candidate, with the sign-off on May 20, which is just under a week away.

Today, famed leakster and Twitter user WalkingCat has revealed the Windows 11 22H2 RTM date and it is just a few days after the May 20 signing-off. According to WalkingCat, Microsoft will be signing 22H2 or Sun Valley 2 (SV2) on May 24. However, it wasn't revealed which Windows 11 build was the RTM candidate and so for now, the most likely candidate seems to be build 22621 as suggested by yesterday's report.

I'm still waiting to hear about an official 22H1 RTM build because I want to use that to do a clean-install of my Win11 Pro system -- that has grown from around 30GB to over 40GB nearly overnight -- despite all the cleaning routines I have run against it.
There will be no 22H1 release. Windows now has new feature releases only once per year. It is no longer on a twice yearly schedule.

Follow-up to my post from a few minutes ago:

While there will be no official 22H1 release, Microsoft does on occasion release a refresh build. On MSDN, Microsoft just released Windows 11 21H2, May 2022 Refresh. For those without an MSDN subscription, it's possible that in the next few days Microsoft MAY possibly release this refresh to the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool, but I cannot guarantee that this will happen. I'm merely speculating because that is what Microsoft has done in the past.


Note that the refresh is simply the original release with all the latest updates injected or "slipstreamed" in. If you have interest in doing this, I can provide some simple instructions and tools to perform this yourself, but I'm not going to expend the effort to do this unless someone tells me that they want to do this :-).

Currently, the latest refresh available on the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool is the November 2021 build. Win 11 was released October 2021 and pretty quickly followed up by the November refresh.

I understand all that -- and I have an ISO of build 22000.675 that I made using UUPDump. But, I have been waiting to see if a later build becomes available as 22000.706 is already out as an Insider build.

Understood. There will be a new build every month, of course, plus insider builds, but no 22H1.

Thanks, but I already have ISO 22000.675 download from Microsoft.

The ISO from the link or Media Creation Tool is 22000.318

So how come if new RTM version is issued in 1st half of 2022, it is designated 22H2.

Does it have De Lorean mode?

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update.

    My SYSTEM THREE is a Dell Latitude 5410, i7-10610U, 32GB RAM, 512GB NVMe ssd, supported device running Windows 11 Pro (and all my Hyper-V VMs).

First, the date is only a rumor. But even if true, it's usually several months after the code is finalized before it ever sees official release status. For the last several versions of Windows 10, as an example, there were several months of monthly patch Tuesday updates before it was officially available to the public.

But who knows, Microsoft can change what they are doing with no previous notice. I give up trying to figure out their logic :)

Well that prediction turned out to be a bust. I'll be deleting 22621.1 and doing a fresh install of 22000.708 instead.

What we know: 22H2 is in the can, it's done and the official name is 22H2.

What we don't know: How long before it becomes available via public tools such as the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool. In the past, as I noted in post #52, that lag is typically several months. But you can grab the ISO and install it now. All of my systems are already on that build :)

Mine says it's 21H2....

Sorry - I was not particularly clear - RTM will be a version of the Beta build - possibly 22621.1 at present but that is designated 22H2.

In order to qualify as 22H2, it has to be released July 1st or later. Don't you just love MS consistency LOL.

Why? 22621 is 22H2. Or, do you not want 22H2?

From one of the links in that article....

Microsoft said:
Minimum acceptable build for Windows 11, version 22H2 certification is RTM build (i.e. 22621).

Signing off as RTM and the public release are two different things. MS may well have signed 22621 off as RTM today, but still not plan to let it out of Insider Preview until after 1st July.

I can download the 22621 version, but not in my language.

I can use language pack in this version, but is not the same.

First is not fully translated.

shortcuts are diferent, for example: select all is "ctrl+a", even with language pack.

In my native language, "Final version" or RTM, select all is "ctrl+t".

among other differences.
