Is it time to update to Windows 11? The latest Windows 11 update 22H2 contains features that have many saying yes!
This feature update isn't likely to turn Windows 11 skeptics into fans. It doesn't include any major architectural changes and it preserves both the system requirements and the overall design of the user experience from the initial release. This is, at its core, a "fit and finish" update, with a handful of new features that are useful but far from essential.
The 8 best new features are:
- Drag and Drop for the Taskbard
- Folders on the Start Menu
- Updated File Explorer
- Live Captions
- New Touch Gestures
- Update Task Manager
- New Inbox Apps: ClipChamp, Sound Recorder
- Smart App Control.
To summarize key features;
Windows 11 has changed the way security is handled. Windows 10 left security settings up to the user to enable. What Microsoft found was that most users did not understand how to make the changes or the trade offs in compatibility and performance. Windows 11 has inverted that view and now makes the security settings default for users.
In addition to security, the new Windows 11 update contains improvement in performance, better throughput and more beneficial features. Microsoft's Photos app is also getting a much needed makeover.
File Explorer's Quick Access will now be called Home, however Quick Access will shift to the right panel where you can pin files and folders. Windows will be adding a Tabs feature to File Explorer in October 2022 as an optional preview and then in November as a full release. A File Explorer Tabs interface will allow you to open a new Tab like in a browser where you can search and open files without opening another File Explorer instance, much needed.
The Windows 11 22H2 upgrade was made available yesterday, 09/20/22. It may already be installed on your Windows 11 computer, waiting for a restart to finish installing.

Windows 10 EOL (End of Life)
You have until October 14, 2025 to keep using Windows 10 and continue receiving at least some sort of support from Microsoft for it. However, the company announced in November 2021 that it will only release feature updates after version 21H2 (the Windows 10 November 2021 Update) annually in the second half of the year via the General Availability Channel.
The next Windows 10 feature update is slated for the second half of 2022. Home and Pro editions of the November 2021 Update will only receive 18 months of servicing and support, and Enterprise and Education editions will receive 30 months of servicing and support after November 2021.
After that, Microsoft says it will continue to support at least one annual Windows 10 release until October 2025.

Who Will Pay the Price for Cyberattacks?
Insurers have long excluded war damage from their coverage. A new spate of legal battles will decide whether they can consider state-sponsored hacking an act of war.
