In recent weeks, a number of N‑able partners<\/span><\/a> have reached out to me to let me know Windows is no longer seeing the Windows 10 22h2 Update. This means devices that are still on 21h1, 21h2, 22h1, etc. are forced to update to Windows 11 in order to stay supported. <\/span><\/p>\n

As an aside, if you\u2019re also having problems with the Windows 11 auto-update, check out <\/span>my colleague Jason\u2019s recent blog on how to stop the Windows 11 update<\/span><\/a> using either N‑central Patch Management<\/span><\/a> or the Registry.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Microsoft has said it would support two major releases behind<\/span><\/a>, so this means that non-enterprise version of Windows 10 21h1 will be out of support<\/span><\/a> as of June 2023. This is starting to scare a lot of people that don\u2019t update that often, as it will potentially create a hole in their security requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the increased need to patch more regularly, people have, of course, been doing the monthly cumulative updates. However, due to the disruptive nature of the larger OS semi-annual upgrades, a lot of companies have elected to lag behind a bit and only upgrade when essential.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the 22h2 Update is now hidden from many Windows 10 devices (and I will assume this number will continue to grow), partners have been turning to my team for help. In response to this, we\u2019ve created a PowerShell script that can still push the now \u2018\u2019hidden\u2019\u2019 upgrade.<\/span><\/p>\n

I thought I would put it in a blog post and share it with the wider community as I expect this is something that most companies (both MSPs and Internal IT teams) will struggle with in the coming weeks\u2014unless you\u2019re already on 22h2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
