Microsoft is improving the compatibility of Windows 11 22H2 as it starts rolling it out to everyone.

Microsoft announced earlier today that it has started rolling out Windows 11 version 22H2 to all eligible 21H2 devices. Therefore, such systems will automatically be updated to the latest Windows 11 2022 feature update after the gradual rollout phase.

Microsoft says this update will help improve installation and recovery of the 2022 Feature Update and applies to all Windows 11 22H2 versions.
