There is some mystery around the new features that Windows 10 version 22H2 will get. Obviously, we should not expect drastic changes, as the Redmond firm is now solely focused on Windows 11, which already has its own version 22H2 with a massive set of new things. Still, Windows 10 version 22H2 is coming, and everyone is curious what it will bring with it. Microsoft keeps it in secret, but points that it will have something new.

Microsoft has made available Windows 10 version 22H2 to insiders using the Release Preview channel. Starting today, they receive Build 19045.1865 (KB5015878) in form of an optional update. To install it, you need to check for updates in Settings > Update & recovery > Windows Update and select KB5015878 in the list.

Microsoft has issued an update to Windows 11 version 21H2 for Insiders running the OS in the Release Preview channel.
