"after March 2023, Windows 10 supported version 20H2 and Windows 10 supported version 21H2 no longer have optional, non-secure preview versions. Only cumulative monthly security updates (known as" B "or Tuesday patch versions) will continue. Windows 10 version 22H2 will continue to receive secure and optional updates."
