Microsoft has accidentally leaked that Windows 10 22H2 is on its way by including an enablement package in the latest Windows 10 KB5014666 preview update available to Insiders on the Release channel.
Today, Microsoft has released the Windows 10 KB5014666 cumulative update preview to Windows Insiders on the Release channel, allowing them to test upcoming fixes before they are previewed by the larger Windows 10 user base next week.
According to Windows Latest, the latest Insider preview update includes an enablement package that allows you to "Turn on" Windows 10 22H2 in the latest Windows 10 build with KB5014666 installed.
An enablement package acts as a "Master switch" that enables dormant features already present in Windows 10 21H1 and upgrades the Windows version and build number.
Once you execute the above commands, your Windows version will be changed to Windows 10 22H2 build 19045.
Not many new features are expected for Windows 10 22H2 as Microsoft is focusing its development on Windows 11.
