Today, Microsoft is releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview build 22621.169 to the Release Preview channel. It’s a cumulative update for the RTM build for Windows 11 version 22H2, and as usual, it contains a bunch of fixes.
There are several such updates floating around the Release Preview channel, because there are several tiers in that channel. Those that don’t meet the hardware requirements for Windows 11 are still testing Windows 10 builds, and those that haven’t opted into testing version 22H2 are testing the latest updates for version 21H2. Those updates will eventually show up to non-Insiders later on this month as an optional update, and then as a mandatory update next month on Patch Tuesday.
Of course, that’s not actually the case with this particular build, since Windows 11 version 22H2 isn’t available to non-Insiders just yet. That’s someting that we’re going to see later on this year, probably in October or so.
As usual, Windows 11 build 22621.169 contains a whole bunch of fixes. While there have been features in cumulative updates before, there aren’t any front-facing ones here.

As usual, you can get this update through Windows Update. If you’re not on the Release Preview channel, you can go to Settings -> Windows Update -> Windows Insider Program to enroll. Then, you can opt into testing out Windows 11 version 22H2 to get to this update, but you’ll find lots of new features first.
