Windows 11 23H2 update no longer showing on Windows Update

Anaksy · Jan 2, 2024

Hello Guys,

Back in November, I got Windows 23H2 through Windows Update normally. Then, around the early/middle December I had to restore my laptop to 22H2 image that I had backed up.
What happens is that since then, 23H2 doesn't appear anymore on Windows Update. I already tried multiple commands, troubleshoot but regardless of what I do, the only thing I get on Windows Update is the Windows Security Updates.

Do you guys have any idea on how to make 23H2 appear on Windows Update again?
Thank you in advance!

Obs.: I am on the latest cumulative update:

Do you have 'Get the latest Windows updates....' set to 'On'?

I have it set to 'Off' but I switch it to 'On' on the odd occasion.

It could also be that you're affected by one of the safeguards put in place. I was offered 23H2 a while ago, and so I applied it. Later, the safeguard was added for Intel sound because of bluescreens, and that issue does affect me. (It happens only rarely, so no big deal, but a little annoying.) I bet if I were to roll back to 22H2 now, I would not be offered 23H2 again.

Hello @Anaksy and welcome to ElevenForum.

You don't have to wait for Windows update, you can just manually update to 23H2 with the "Enablement Package"...

This would be the same thing as having the 23H2 available on Windows Update?

23H2 was installed on our computers back around July 2023.
The recent Windows Update just "turned" ON the 23H2 features.

The enablement package does the same thing.

Any tutorial or Windows Update News... posted by @Brink, you can... take to the bank.

In 1947, the U.S. government captured the alien Brink at Roswell, NM.
He was then debriefed and chained to a desk to write Windows tutorials.
He's been writing them now, for 77 years.

@Brink is much older than he looks...

I will take a look @Ghot . Thank you very much.

I used the Enablement Package myself. I got tired of waiting on Microsoft.

Hey, @Anaksy, you need clip your email address off your post. You'll be getting a gazillion SPAM emails; it may already be too late.

Yeah, this is very awkward from Microsoft. Even when I do a clean install through Samsung Recovery tool, that goes initially to 21H2, it takes a few days for 22H2 to appear.

I know this is probably a dumb question, but is there a way to edit my original post? I can't seem to find it.

Fish around; there's a way to delete the post, but then the problem is in your first post. Maybe reply to the first post, and cut the bottom half off, then delete #1 post?
