KB5015684: Featured update to

Windows 10, version 22H2 by using an
enablement package You’re invited to try

Unlock now

Summary
Windows 10, versions 2004, 20H2, 21H1, 21H2, and 22H2 share a common core operating system with an
identical set of system files. Therefore, the new features in Windows 10, version 22H2 are included in the
latest monthly quality update for Windows 10, version 2004, 20H2, 21H1, and 21H2 but are in an inactive
and dormant state. These new features will remain dormant until they are turned on through the
“enablement package,” a small, quick-to-install “master switch” that activates the Windows 10, version
22H2 features.

The enablement package is a great option for installing a scoped feature update like Windows 10, version
22H2 as it enables an update from version 2004, 20H2, 21H1, or 21H2 to version 22H2 with a single restart,
reducing update downtime. This enables devices to take advantage of new features now. For version
2004, 20H2, 21H1, and 21H2 devices that receive updates directly from Windows Update, devices
automatically get the enablement package by installing the feature update to Windows 10, version 22H2.

If a device is updating from Windows 10, version 1909 or an earlier version, this feature update enablement
package cannot be manually installed. Instead, it is bundled and automatically included with the feature
update to Windows 10, version 22H2. Note the installation time is not reduced in this scenario.
