MS rarely give an official firm date until much closer to the time, in case they get last minute glitches that delay release.

About a week before launch is all I've ever seen....

most of this new build is largely cosmetic, with few real new features - the main one being File Explorer with Tabs.

I'm really enjoying using Groups on the Start menu again, as I always used to do in Win10.

Windows 11 2022 Update

Potential Windows 11 22H2 marketing name spotted in the Get Started app [Update]

We have what seems to be the first mention of the marketing name for the upcoming Windows 11 22H2 update. The Get Started app says Windows Insiders are now running the “Windows 11 2022 Update.”

MS Development Team Memo:

Somebody has used common sense in terms of naming. Find out that person and fire them immediately - it undermines all our efforts to bamboozle the public!

That would be pretty accurate.

Windows 11 2022 Update, much better and quite sensible. In respect to the release date, I noticed that the 20th is exactly a week after next month's patch Tuesday. I would not be surprised if it was released to RP on the 13th. The unknown is whether it will include FE tabs.

Debating if i'll clean install Windows 11 22H2 when final or not at this point, sure it doesn't take as long as it used to, but guess i'll decide for sure when its fully released via Media Creation tool.

Will see as well if Gigabyte has any uefi bios updates or driver updates for my board on the 19th or early on the 20th, then will determine for sure which way i'm going with this supported system

It was released to RP in May, been running it since then. I did a clean install recently using the 22621 ISO.

Update Aug 23: Microsoft removed "2022 Update" from the Get Started app.

it seems the "Windows 11 2022 Update" message no longer shows up in the Get Started app as of 8/23

Same. Downloading now

Later: installed without problems.

CountMike · Aug 26, 2022

I also got .NET updates.

PS.
Updates like this one usually mean a prelude to a larger update soon to come.
2022-8 seem to signify that new version should arrive shortly and will see rumored name change to 2022 instead of 22H2

Microsoft is so ready to ship Windows 11 22H2 as ISO links have been spotted

There is mounting evidence now that suggests that the general availability (GA) release date for Windows 11 22H2 is indeed September 20. The latest leak happens to be in the form of ISO downloads.

Hope it's released as ISO tomorrow, mine are totally ripe for clean install.

I'm already running build 22H2 22622.598 -- I got the iso via UUPDUMP. I did a clean install and it worked perfectly. Not sure why I got the 622 version when some insiders even are still on the 621 build -- but the mysteries of Ms. !!

Also has the Windows experience thing -- whatever it does.

I do like though the decent set of tools in the Windows tools pane -- it basically is just the control panel but much better organised and tidied up. Also local user -- not using an Ms account.

Print management in particular is far simpler now than endless pictures of "default printers" etc etc.

Not sure when Windows tools were introduced -- the W10 ones were quite limited.I suspect though as it's TOO useful, Ms will no doubt remove it again. !!!

Cheers

Time to make sure I have current back-ups!

Been using it on laptop since end June, without any issues

I'm curious to see how the new Task Manager format and screens go over. Took me a while to get used to it thru the Insider builds.... Dev, Beta and RP.

Windows 11 22H2: Hands with new Task Manager features and more

Windows 11 22H2 doesn’t have any ground-breaking new features (though there are several quality improvements here and there). However, there’s one big change in this version of the operating system – a brand new Task Manager with WinUI, Fluent Design, Mica and more. The new Task Manager isn’t a...

There are a lot of rumors that tomorrow (Sep 20th) will be the public release of Win 11 22H2.

Just wondering if anyone has actually heard anything official from Microsoft. The only thing official that I ever heard from them was that it would be released in September.
