Microsoft has released the optional KB5029331 Preview cumulative update for Windows 10 22H2 with sixteen improvements or fixes, including the introduction of a new Backup app.
While recent Windows 10 updates have been acting primarily as bug fixes, this update includes several new features, demonstrating that Microsoft is not completely ignoring Windows 10 in favor of Windows 11.
One of the most unexpected additions in this release, is the release of a new Windows 10 Backup app that will automatically be installed with the update.
The Windows Backup app replicates the features of Windows 11's built-in backup settings page as well as the scattered settings throughout Windows 10.
Instead of creating a new dedicated section for these features in the Windows 10 settings, Microsoft has released it as a standalone app called Windows Backup.
Like the Windows 11 Backup app, you can use Windows Backup to backup your files, directories, and folders to OneDrive.
