We are excited to announce that Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, version 22H2 is now generally available. Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, version 22H2 is a feature update for Windows 11 IoT Enterprise and includes all features and fixes in previous cumulative updates to Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, version 21H2, the original Windows 11 IoT Enterprise release that was shipped last year. Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, version 22H2 follows the Windows 11 servicing timeline and is serviced 36 months (about 3 years) from the release date.
Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, version 22H2 delivers several new features to Windows 11 IoT enterprise customers. A major one is the availability of Microsoft Pluton. Microsoft Pluton security processor is a chip-to-cloud security technology built with Zero Trust principles at the core. Microsoft Pluton provides hardware-based root of trust, secure identity, secure attestation, and cryptographic services. Pluton technology is a combination of a secure subsystem, which is part of the System on Chip (SoC) and Microsoft authored software that runs on this integrated secure subsystem. Microsoft Pluton can be enabled on devices with Pluton capable processors running Windows 11, version 22H2.
For more information, see Microsoft Pluton security processor.
Microsoft Pluton is a component of building secure devices and is complementary to our recently launched Edge-Secured Core certification. You can learn more about Edge-Secured Core in our announcement blog.
