Are Windows updates changing?

I don't think most people are being offered the new Windows 10 update yet, but here is a statement I found from Microsoft about it.
Devices currently on Windows 10, version 20H2 or newer will have a fast installation experience because the update will install like a monthly update. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-10-22h2 As I recall, the last Windows 10 update was more like an incremental update as well. I don't know what Windows 11 updates are like. Are Windows updates changing to be more like incremental upgrades instead of full upgrades? If so, it would make upgrading a lot more convenient. Gene |

Gene,
The simplest answer is "no." The update from 22H2 from 22H1 was one of the most trivial feature updates to date, but I suspect that was mostly because of the debut of Windows 11 (which is what was supposed to be the next feature update of Windows 10, but was spun off). At this point, both Windows 11 and Windows 10 will be on once-per-year update cycles and it's likely that Feature Updates for each will be more substantial like they used to be in the past. I had mentioned, and I thought it was here in the Chat Subgroup, about just how fast the Feature Update to 22H2 installed. It was significantly quicker than many cumulative update installation times have been. But it might have been somewhere else, but I don't think it was on the main group. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 22H2, Build 19045 There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year-old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs. ~ John Rogers |

I seem to have a vague memory of you mentioning it, but I don't
recall where.
