I then tried to modify the local GPOs to force the feature update, which to my surprise worked! Instructions to force the update Inside of WSUS, I tried to approve the Windows 11 22H2 Feature Update, however that had no success, as the system wasn’t checking for that update (it wasn’t “required”). I waited some time, but decided I wanted to find a way to force this update. However, if you’re using ARM64, you cannot use any of those above as they are designed for x86 systems. If you’re using x86 architecture, you can simply use the Windows 11 Installation Assistant, or create/download the Windows 11 Installation Media (ISO). So you may be asking how to force Windows 11 22H2 Feature Update.įrom what I understand, for most x86 users, the Windows 11 22H2 Feature Upgrade made itself available slowly over the months after it’s release, however there may be some of you who still don’t have access to it.Īdditionally, there may be some of you who are using special hardware such as ARM64, like me with my Lenovo X13s Windows-on-ARM laptop, who haven’t been offered the update as I believe it’s being rolled out slower than its x86 counterpart. However, while it was releassed, as with all feature upgrades, it is deployed on a slow basis and not widely immediately available for download.
If you’re anything like me, you were excited to get your hands on the latest Windows 11 22H2 Feature Update after it was released on September 20th, 2022.
