The March 2023 non-security preview update is now available for all supported versions of Windows. For instructions on how to install this update on your home device, check the Update Windows article. Information about the contents of this update is available from the release notes, which are accessible from the Windows 11 history page. To learn more about the different types of monthly quality updates, see Windows monthly updates explained. To be informed about the latest updates and releases, follow us on Twitter @WindowsUpdate.


IMPORTANT After March 2023, there are no more optional, non-security preview releases for the supported editions of Windows 10, version 20H2 and Windows 10, version 21H2. Only cumulative monthly security updates (known as the "B" or Update Tuesday release) will continue for these versions. Windows 10, version 22H2 will continue to receive security and optional releases.


NOTE Starting in April 2023, optional, non-security preview updates will release on the fourth Tuesday of the month.


Highlights for the Windows 11, version 22H2 update:

This update introduces notifications for Microsoft accounts in the Start menu. This is only available to a small audience right now. It will deploy more broadly in the coming months. Some devices might notice different visual treatments as we gather feedback.
The search box on the taskbar will be lighter when you set Windows to a custom color mode. This will occur when you set the Windows mode to dark and the app mode to light in Settings > Personalization > Colors.
This update addresses an issue that affects the Notepad combo box in Settings. It fails to show all the available options.
This addresses an issue that affects Microsoft PowerPoint. It stops responding. This occurs when you use accessibility tools.
This addresses an issue that affects USB printers. The system classifies them as multimedia devices even though they are not.
