    It appears that Microsoft is getting ready to release Windows 10 22H2 soon. A new update, now available for manual download, switches Windows 10 21H2 (build number 19044.1862) to Windows 10 22H2 with build number 19045.1862. Although Microsoft is yet to announce the release (either in the Windows Insider program or straight in the stable channel), you can download the enablement package directly from Windows Update servers.

     

    All it takes to upgrade from Windows 10 21H2 to 22H2 is KB5015684, a tiny cumulative update weighing just 177KB. Like the previous "major" Windows 10 updates, 22H2 does not add new features or notable improvements. Besides the updated version and build numbers, Windows 10 22H2 is identical to its predecessor.

     

    This is not the first time Windows 10 22H2 appears before the official announcement. In June 2022, optional updates for Windows 10 confirmed that version 22H2 is coming. It was also possible to convert Windows 10 21H2 to version 22H2 with a few commands in PowerShell. Those staying away from Windows 11 can now download the latest Windows 10 release without any commands or software tricks.

     

    It is worth mentioning that the best and safest strategy is to wait for Microsoft to announce Windows 10 22H2 and get the OS via Windows Update. Still, if you are willing to take the risk, here are the direct links to KB5015684 (via Deskmodder). Before installing the update, ensure your system has the June 2022 cumulative updates (build 1904x.1806 or higher).

     

     

    To upgrade Windows 10 21H2 to 22H2, open the downloaded file, confirm installation, wait for the system to install, and then restart your computer.

    too bad....

     

    Yep, they're all broken.

     

    Not on Microsoft Update Catalog.

     

    Follow the article's deskmodder link, they have links that work. Just be aware that those links point to a file host, not to an official Microsoft site.

     

    Above those links the German translates to "Because of the rush, MS took out the original links. Therefore now also HiDrive."

    Am using w8.1 right now.shall i use the above files to upgrade.

    cant upgrade to w11 as am using old laptop.

    Of course not, if you have 8.1 or 11, there is nothing to do with them. They help you enable the new features of Windows 10 version 19045.1862 and later instead of Windows 10 version 19044.1862 (without having to do a full installation). 
    But maybe it's my ignorance, personally I don't know that there is even one difference between the two, although I have them both and use them every day.
