My machine was in Beta, but I left Insider last week.

Ah. That's why. You can leave but it's not effective until the next major release is out. Says that in the Opt Out message. You'll still be right where you were and get security updates until 22H2 is RTM. I know that's alledgedly today, but who knows.

Sorry, Martin. Collision!

Another 6-7 hours later, we will know if 22H2 is out.

Well, in the Beta and RP release notes MS states that 22621 has the enhancement/options/goodies hidden, and 22622 they are active and alive. Sooooooooo............. if MS releases 22621 as the "Fall" 22H2 it will be with hidden options? That doesn't make a lot of sense.

It will be 22621 unless MS throw a curveball.

The issue is if they release 22621.521 or 22621.598.

It is quite possible they could issue as 22162.598 but the hidden features are removed as part of the release, or they leave them there and remove at next round of cumulative updates (updates can remove as well as).

In short, we do not know, and maybe we will find out soon........

I heard that instead of 22H2 it will be called 2022.xxx

They can release them gradually, just like they did in 22622, once they are approved and tested.
Releasing 22621 does not change anything, 22622 will still be the insider version for next 3 years.

No - Beta build will upgrade to new build numbers - next RTM will be in 1 years time.

Microsoft have a series of 'Moments' in the pipleline, minor feature updates by Enablmement Package like those used in the last few years for W10. The first Moment for 22H2 is expected before the end of the year and will likely be the 22622 build with its Explorer tabs. That's why it makes sense to have the feature in, or delvered in the next CUs, but left dormant until enabled.

Windows 11 “Moment 1”, “Moment 2” are the next major updates with new features

First of all I apologize for posting this here. Don't know where to post it, plus I can't start a thread in Windows 11 News... https://www.windowslatest.com/2022/09/05/windows-11-moment-1-moment-2-are-the-next-major-updates-with-new-features/

The MCT should be able give you that within an hour or so of the release. It's usually the last thing to get updated.

TheOldMarine · Sep 20, 2022

I installed the ISO, no problems so far. Looks like the beta version I have installed. Yes, I do maintain a backup of my OS.

indeed they are, according to this:

Windows 11 22H2 Offizielle ISOs sind da [Manueller Download] + MCT - Deskmodder.de

Microsoft hat die finale ISO für Windows 11 22H2 (22621) zum Download bereitgestellt. Mit dieser Version wurden einige Verbesserungen hinzugefügt.

www.deskmodder.de

the direct links to some of those Win11 22H2 iso downloads are working on my end

why not get one directly from that deskmodder article I linked to (at least the link for Win11_22H2_English_x64.iso works for me).

I don't see much sense in how they are doing any of these previews/betas/feature packs. They sure are not user friendly.

They are as user friendly as all the feature updates for Windows 10 since the 2004 Feature update - all done by a small enablement package that turns on dormant features already delivered efficiently and painlessly in the last few CUs. The only real change is that MS will call them 'Moments' from now on. All such enablement updates can be recognised as such by only bumping up the build number by 1 each time, and not creating a windows.old. Expect 22622 to arrive a month or so after 22H2 is released.
