Highlights for the Windows 11, version 22H2 update:
This update introduces websites to the Recommended section of the Start menu. These websites will be personalized for you and come from your browsing history. This gives you quick access to the websites that are important to you. You can remove any website URL from the Recommended section using the shortcut menu. To turn off the feature, go to Settings > Personalization > Start. You can adjust settings for all recommended content on the Start menu on this Settings page. Commercial customers can manage this feature using a policy.
This update addresses an issue that affects Microsoft Excel. It stops responding when you try to share a file as a PDF in Microsoft Outlook.
This update addresses an issue that affects the search button. It disappears when you interact with the search flyout box.
This update addresses an issue that affects sleep mode. After you resume from sleep, a blank window appears that has the title "Windows Input Experience."
This update addresses an issue that affects iCloud Calendar and Contacts. Outlooks fails to properly sync them when you use the iCloud for Windows app. To resume syncing, follow the steps in this Apple Support article.


IMPORTANT The September 2023 non-security preview update will be the last optional release for Windows 11, version 21H2. The October 2023 security update will be the last security release for some editions of Windows 11, version 21H2. Windows 11, version 22H2 will continue to receive security and optional releases.
