Hi,

I have discovered that windows 11 23h2 has availability for everyone now. But, when I checked windows update (I have had for a while the "Get updates as soon as they are available" turned on) and when to optional updates it is not available! I checked on the microsoft site and it said I was at the correct version to see the update, and I double checked. Do you know any ways to make it appear or do I just have to wait?

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Windows update

    I can say I solved this for myself.. from start if November until December the update was there waiting, but I had important stuff for a course I was taking. So I waited until Christmas break

    But the update was gone for some reason.

    None of the suggestions in this thread worked, I got my solution from the Lenovo forums

    The solution for me was as followed

    • type Local Group Policy in the search bar and it should give the option to edit group policy
    • open that
    • expand and navigate to

    Computer Configuration > Admin Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Manage updates offered from Windows Update > Select the target feature update version

    • once you get to this menu, check enabled
    • in the blank boxes put Windows 11 in the first and 23H2 in the second
    • click apply and ok
    • run Windows Update and it should now show
    • (after you get your update you can put that toggle back to not configured and future updates will show normally.... If you forget to put it back, when 24H2 or something comes out you won't ever see it)

    This may sound strange, but turn off the get updates as soon as possible option. The update should show up in the next few minutes.

    This worked on both of my Windows 11 desktops.

    Hi, good day! I'm John and I'll be happy to assist you today. I know this has been difficult for you, Rest assured, I'm going to do my best to help you.

    Microsoft is taking its usual gradual process to rolling out the update, offering the upgrade in stages beginning with those whose devices Microsoft believes are the most likely to successfully install the upgrade.

    If it is not shown in the Windows update settings, I recommend using the Windows 11 Installation assistant to upgrade to Windows 11 23H2 manually.

    Note: It's always a good practice to backup your important files first before performing any Windows upgrade or reinstallation.

    Kindly let me know if this helps or if you have any further concerns.

    Kind regards,
