Microsoft has started force installing Windows 11 23H2 on eligible devices that have reached or are close to their end-of-servicing date.
The Windows 11 23H2 forced rollout phase announced by Redmond this week comes after systems running multiple editions of Windows 11 21H2 were automatically updated to Windows 11 22H2 before they reached the end of support on October 11.
"Windows 11, version 23H2, also known as the Windows 11 2023 Update, is now entering a new rollout phase. We are starting to update eligible Windows 11 devices automatically to version 23H2," Microsoft said.
The list of new features shipped with the Windows 11 2023 Update includes the AI-powered Windows Copilot digital assistant, a revamped File Explorer, Dynamic Lighting support, an improved volume mixer, and a revamped Windows Spotlight experience.
Earlier this month, Microsoft lifted a compatibility hold that blocked upgrades to Windows 11 23H2 after fixing a known issue causing desktop icons to move erratically when using Windows Copilot on multi-monitor systems.
