CTOnews.com, January 27, Microsoft Windows 11 21H2 will end support after October 10. Microsoft said it will enable automatic updates to the Windows 11 22H2 version of its devices for Windows 11 21H2 Home Edition and Professional Edition. Microsoft has also begun to deploy Windows 11 22H2 extensively through Windows Update.

"Today we begin to automatically update consumer and unmanaged corporate devices running Windows 11 21H2 Home Edition and Professional Edition to Windows 11 22H2 version," the announcement said. "since Windows 10, we have been helping Windows users maintain the latest status and security features with supported Windows versions through automatic updates. We are using the same approach for Windows 11 to help you maintain protection and productivity."

According to Microsoft, automatic updates will be gradual and long-term, with priority given to devices running 21H2 versions. CTOnews.com learned that, on the one hand, Microsoft has made Windows 11 22H2 updates more widely available through Windows Update. In addition, Microsoft pointed out that some users can manually check their settings applications and get updates immediately. Microsoft also said that users are very positive about the upgrade and update of Windows 11.

It is important to note, however, that there is still a compatibility guarantee for Windows 11 22H2, which means that some devices may still not be updated. This compatibility guarantee is particularly targeted at Intel 11 Coolie processors and certain versions of Intel SST drivers in Windows 11. According to Microsoft, this led to blue screen errors among the affected users.

"the affected driver will be named Intel Intelligent Voice Technology (Intel SST) audio controller under system devices in device Manager, the file name is IntcAudioBus.sys, and the file version is 10.29.0.5152 or 10.30.0.5152," Microsoft explained. " Only devices that have both Intel's 11th generation cool processor and Intel SST driver version 10.29.0.5152 or 10.30.0.5152 will be affected by this issue. "

Fortunately, there are solutions that can alleviate the above problems and give users access to Windows 11 22H2 updates. This involves updating the Intel Smart Sound Technology driver to 10.30.00.5714 and later, or 10.29.00.5714 and later.
