Again, I asked Microsoft if they’d say this publicly. No word back so far. Update (August 1): Microsoft updated its blog post on the Release Preview test build of Windows 10 22H2 with the following information: “This build is focused on validating the servicing technology. Windows 10, version 22H2 has a scoped set of features and Microsoft will share more details on this update later this year.” Microsoft officials have not said when to expect Windows 10 22H2 (or Windows 11 22H2, for that matter) to start rolling out to the mainstream. Windows 11 22H2 went to the Release Preview channel in early June. Rumor has it that both of these releases are coming this fall, possibly September or October. Microsoft officials have not provided numbers regarding how many PC users are currently running Windows 11. Earlier this year, they did say 1.4 billion monthly active users are running either Windows 10 or 11. The vast majority of these are believed to be on Windows 10. After this year’s promised single feature update for Windows 10 and Windows 11, Microsoft may be changing its plans for when and how it delivers new features for Windows 11. Officials have not said anything publicly about this, but according to a recent report, Microsoft may be going to an every-three-year release cycle for “major” new versions of Windows starting in 2024 and delivering smaller feature updates up to four times per year in between.
