The name of the first major Windows 11 feature update, which Microsoft is preparing to release in September, has emerged. The first major feature update for the Windows 11 operating system will be released in September. Microsoft has not yet announced an official release date, but it is said to be September 20. In the meantime, it has also emerged under which name the update will be available. It was previously reported that the new version will be called 22H2 or Sun Valley 2. But now a different name has come to the fore. The screenshot leaked to the internet shows that the big update will be made available under the name Windows 11 2022 Update.

Major updates once a year

This naming seems logical considering that major updates for Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems will now be released once a year. So we will no longer see things like the May 20XX Update or the November 20XX Update. Microsoft has confirmed that build 22621 is the final release of Windows 11 22H2. Leaks indicate that the update could be released on September 20, 2022. In October and November, distribution will be accelerated to reach a wider audience.
