Windows 11 22H2: Microsoft launches preview with innovations

Microsoft has released another cumulative update to give a preview of the upcoming Windows 11 feature update. This is the preview for the new version 22H2. There are a number of innovations. However, these innovations are not specific to Windows 11 22H2 but were already available a few days ago as an optional update for the current Windows 11 version and for Windows Server (Update KB5014665) distributed.

The changes will likely be released in other Windows versions as well and will be distributed with the upcoming patch day on July 12. Now the changes will start in the Release Preview channel. There are also a number of improvements, bug fixes, and Group Policy updates. The changes include added support for Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3. The announcement for this update is brief.

Microsoft executive Brandon LeBlanc writes in the Windows blog To: “Hi Windows Insiders, Today we are releasing Windows 11 Build 22621.169 (KB5014958) to Insiders on the Windows 11 Version 22H2 Release Preview Channel.” Then follows the list of changes that we have translated for you and added at the end of the post.
