Hello,

I hope you can help me with this fast as you can and thank you... :

Why am I still not receiving the 22h2 update for Windows 11 even though my device is compatible and meets the minimum specifications by much and I have already installed the latest Windows 11 version, but it has been several days since the release of update 22h2 and I still haven't received it in the settings of Windows update, knowing that I currently live in Saudi Arabia, in the Middle East. I hope someone can tell me why I haven't received the update yet? Do I have to wait a few more days? Is it completely safe without any difference that the update might happen manually? And also will it be Better if it must be updated from Windows Updates from Settings, or download it from the Internet manually?,

I apologize but I want to know about this, I hope someone can answer me as soon as possible and thank you very much.

    There isn't any practical difference in "manual upgrade" as you call it, and a re-install where you keep everything.

    And this is splitting hairs over an unrelated issue. Inherently unhelpful.

    The only mildly helpful comment is "it means your PC drivers aren't ready." - Can you elaborate further on that? Can you give an example on how to verify the "readiness" of the drivers?

    If not, then it is better to allow someone who actually _can_ further this discussion to get a chance at replying.

    Thanks.

    A reinstall is different from a manual upgrade - in the latter everything is kept(just a manual method of update). See the article for complete instructions.

    If Check for updates does not work too - it means your PC drivers aren't ready.

    I realize I can reinstall Windows to get the functionality - that however is not what I am seeking. Offering that as a solution is to offer a man a full meal when he asks you why the tap does not dispense water to drink.

    As it is, yes, everyone SHOULD have 22H2 by now.

    No, not everyone IS getting 22H2 - and we don't know _why_.

    It's that "_why_" that is important.

    Not how we may circumvent the problem.

    I have no direct proof of such entities - but it has been mentioned in other threads that incompatible hardware, drivers, software and various other things may attribute to 22H2 not showing up [being put on hold].

    That there are such mechanisms is of course pure speculation if we don't have examples of them - but I'm just calling for "proof" :) I'd like them to exist - because then there may be a valid and healthy reason for why I'm not seeing the update. And I could check why - leading me to possibly fix my situation.

    Can you give an example of a Stopper?
