Microsoft has unveiled its latest update for Windows 11, known as the “Windows 11 Update 2023” (version 23H2), which was made available to the public on October 31st. This update will be rolled out gradually to non-Windows Insider Program members.
This new release, “Windows 11 version 23H2,” marks the second major update for Windows 11 this year. While it shares the same code base and service branch as “version 22H2,” new features are implemented through an “enable package” (eKB). This means that upgrading from “version 22H2” can be completed within minutes, whereas upgrading from “version 21H2” takes longer as it involves replacing the entire operating system. Over 150 new features are included in this update, such as the newly introduced Copilot in Windows, which was already available in some 22H2 environments.
Specifically for “Version 23H2,” changes include the replacement of the taskbar chat function with the free version of Microsoft Teams. This pinned version of Teams on the taskbar provides users with the ability to chat, make audio calls, and participate in video meetings with friends at the click of a button. A mini mode, reminiscent of the old chat feature, is also available. Additionally, users can now enjoy gaming sessions with family and friends through the Xbox Game Bar.
It is worth noting that the service period for “Version 23H2” is 24 months for the Home/Pro edition and 36 months for the Enterprise/Education edition.
The upgrade offer will be expanded gradually, so it may take some time for users to become eligible. Interested users can navigate to the Update & Security > Windows Update page in the Settings app, enable the “Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available” option, and manually select the “Gwirio” button. If the device is eligible for an upgrade, users will receive a prompt to download and install the “Feature Update for Windows 11, Version 23H2.”
Updates are downloaded in the background, and users have the freedom to choose when to install them and restart their operating system. Rest assured, updates will not be enforced without permission.
Should the prompt not appear, it’s possible that “Version 23H2” has not yet been deployed to the device or has been excluded from distribution due to known compatibility issues. Users can wait and check again later. Alternatively, those who can’t wait can opt for an upgrade using an installation assistant, a media creation tool, or an ISO image file. However, it is important to note that downloading the entire operating system may require some time.
Overall, Microsoft’s release of the “Windows 11 Update 2023” brings new and improved features to users, enhancing their Windows 11 experience.
