Windows 11 users will now automatically be offered version 22H2

Microsoft has started automatically updating Windows 11 version 21H2 to 22H2. Previously, users had to manually download the latest version, but now it downloads and installs automatically.

Microsoft will offer the update first to users who have been using version 21H2 the longest, writes the tech company in an update on its website. It is not clear how long it will take before everyone is offered the update. If a user’s device proves incompatible or otherwise encounters problems, the update will not be installed automatically until the problems are resolved.

Windows 11 version 22H2 appeared last September. In this version, the taskbar and task manager have been tinkered with, among other things. For example, after installing the update, users can open apps by dragging them to the taskbar. It also gets an overflow function, which puts apps in a separate menu if there is no more room for an icon on the taskbar. Furthermore, the design of the task manager has received a refresh and a dark mode. Since its release, it has been possible to download the latest version manually via Windows Update. By the way, Microsoft promises support for version 21H2 until October 10, 2023.
