Windows 10 22H2 has reached broad deployment and is available to everyone via Windows Update, starting November 2022.
Microsoft will force the Windows 10 2022 Update to consumer and non-managed business devices running Windows 10 20H2 until it reaches EOS this June.
"To help keep you protected and productive, Windows Update will automatically initiate a feature update for Windows 10 consumer devices and non-managed business devices that are at, or within several months of reaching end of servicing," Microsoft said today.
"Since Windows 10, we have been helping Windows users stay up to date and secure with supported versions of Windows through automatic updates," the company explains on the Windows release health dashboard.
