Windows Server 20222 22H2 Release date

[sjkpublic]

Apparently MS has run into an issue with there software release updates. The convention was to name them on the year and half year. It is now 2023 Q1 and Windows server 2022 22H2 is still not yet out. At this point I am guessing they are going to rename it?

Windows server 2022 is LTSC release, it does not get annual feature updates
only Azure Stack HCI gets them

Thank you. So I get the 22H2 Azure stack ISO and it up. But it only has the 'core' and not the 'desktop experience'. I now see my question was incomplete - how do I get 22H2 with the 'desktop experience'? Do I have to setup a full Azure system and run some tool or is it that the 'desktop experience' has not been publicly released?

Thank you

You cannot
Azure Stack HCI is a replacement for the Windows Server SAC versions (1703, 1709, 1803, 1809, 2004, 20H2), which all were also Core
