How to get the update

Starting today, the first major update to Windows 11 is now available for users who want to update. Our launch approach to Windows 11 leverages our well-established update systems and processes. The measured and phased rollout will offer the update via Windows Update when data shows that your device is ready, as our objective is to provide a quality update experience. We will initially ramp up the offering availability in the first weeks as we monitor quality signals. If we detect that your device may have an issue, such as an application incompatibility, we may put a safeguard hold in place and not offer the update until that issue is resolved. To learn more about the status of the Windows 11 rollout, safeguard holds and which holds may be applied to your device, visitWindows release health.Learn more about the ways to install Windows 11.

    I just downloaded and installed Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Insider Preview (10.0.22622.601) (KB5017384)

    Is this the last update before 22H2?

    I am currently enrolled in the Insider program but have set "Stop getting preview builds"; it shows "queued for unenrollment".

    Thanks, Ian Mosley for the heads up.

        I'll keep an eye open for them then.

    Cheers!

    Thanks Ian.

    I just ran Winver; here is the result;

    So I guess everything is ok.

    I'm looking to opt out of the Windows Insider program; I thought that I had everything set ok but it looks like I'm still in it.

    Or am I mis-understanding the above result??

    Yes you do; I've had to change my advice to anybody trying the W.U. route to download the update from the Update Catalogue and install manually.

    I was fortunate (?) of being running .521 on the RP channel so I had nothing to do when this update was released; however, this is not the first time MS have released a major update (e.g. to Windows 10 v 21H1) with the user having to clear up their mess.
