Updating to Windows 10 version 22H2
|
Gene
I still haven't received an update to Windows 10 version 21H2 through Windows Update. I checked and that version started rolling out last October. Does that mean there is a problem with my Windows Update? I receive the monthly updates and Windows Defender updates.

You must mean 22H2. There are many machines that don't seem to have updated yet even though Microsoft has said that 22H2 is suitable for all computers at this point. Is it not even showing up on your Windows Update page with the usual Download and install link? Feature Updates have not been "full automatic" for quite some time, and require the user to consent to their being downloaded and installed via that link.
If this is not present on your Windows Update page, then go to the Microsoft Windows 10 Download Page, and activate the Update Now button. -- Brian - Virginia, USA - Windows 11 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 22H2, Build 22621; Office 2016, Version 16.0.15726.20188, 32-bit; Android 12 (MIUI 13) The modern era has not eliminated faith--you could no more eliminate faith than love. Even atheists believe in atheism. The modern era has simply replaced spiritual faith in God with secular faith in man. ~ Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, Archbishop of Constantinople (1997) |

Yes, I did mean 22H2. There is no link on the update page so I
guess I should go to the web site.

There's almost nothing to it (no real features), so it applies faster than many cumulative updates do. It also downloads relatively fast, too, because it's small. -- Brian - Virginia, USA - Windows 11 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 22H2, Build 22621; Office 2016, Version 16.0.15726.20188, 32-bit; Android 12 (MIUI 13) Let me hasten to add that I *do* like cologne.

I've done a little reading and I found that Windows 10 21H2 will be
supported until May. If I need to, I'll manually get the update but
I'm curious if it will be offered to me so I'll wait for a time, but
I won't let Windows go out of support.

My concern was whether there was some problem with my Windows update but since you said that some people haven't been offered it yet, there may well not be. Gene Gene On 2/4/2023 11:50 AM, Brian Vogel

For what its worth my laptop I was using borrowed from the local association did not have the update either. I wonder perhaps if they are going to do a fix for some hardware or software environments it might rarely cause issues with, and that the final update you get on the current version, will in fact contain a patch. I've seen this with Windows 7 in the past, so its not unheard of.

The number of possible reasons for delayed, or entirely absent, offerings of Feature Updates has become so large that I've given up even trying to keep track. When the Feature Update schedule was 2 times per year, there were many incidents (including on this and other groups) where certain machines, left to their own devices and where nothing was broken, skipped one Feature Update entirely and went straight to the one after it.
Right now, both Windows 10 and Windows 11 Version 22H2 has been declared "ready for all machines" so if you don't have it, and want it, it's fine to trigger a manual update via the Update Assistant (Update Now button) on the Windows download page for your respective version. For Windows 10, Version 22H2 is a big "nothing burger" as far as anything the user encounters in daily life. I doubt that there will really be any significant changes to Windows 10 at this point. It's coasting toward it's sunset in 2025. -- Brian - Virginia, USA - Windows 11 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 22H2, Build 22621; Office 2016, Version 16.0.15726.20188, 32-bit; Android 12 (MIUI 13) Let me hasten to add that I *do* like cologne.
