Microsoft announced this week that upgrading from Windows 11 21H2 to Windows 11 22H2 will become automatic at default system settings in both the Home and Pro editions. The change comes a few days after Windows 11 22H2 was made available as an update that the user can do at any time.
The company said in its announcement that the automatic update will be gradual, that is, not all systems will be updated at the same time. The order to follow will prioritize machines that have been running Windows 11 21H2 the longest.
“Since Windows 10, we’ve been helping Windows users stay current and secure with supported versions of Windows through automatic updates. We use the same method for Windows 11 to help you stay protected and productive,” says Microsoft’s official text.
Users who want to speed up the process and upgrade to the new version of Windows 11 can check for new updates in the Windows Update application. If available, it will download immediately.
Intel users beware!
However, 11th generation Intel processor users may not receive the update anytime soon. This is because there is a known issue with Windows 11 version 22H2 and certain Intel SST drivers. Attempting to install the update on affected systems may result in an error and blue screen.
According to Microsoft, the problem is found on computers with 11th generation Intel processors and SST driver version 10.29.0.5152 or version 10.30.0.5152.
It is recommended that you wait for an official solution to the problem, but users in a hurry can try to alleviate the error by installing different versions of Intel SST drivers.
