Windows 11 next feature update codenamed Nickel

It may be a little sad for Windows 11 users in Dev Channel, as feature development for the 22H2 update, released this fall, will end next month. That is, from next month until the official release in the fall, this version will focus on fixing known problems, unless Microsoft starts testing next year’s version in the summer or autumn. Some Twitter users have found relevant content from the script released by Microsoft. For example, the Windows 11 22H2 version code-named nickel follows the order of the periodic table of elements.

After adjusting the updating rhythm, under normal circumstances, Microsoft will release the update every autumn, specifically providing the RTM version at the end of September and officially releasing the new version in early October. In the later version of Windows 10, Microsoft announced the use of the periodic table of elements as the version code, which can facilitate Microsoft’s internal management and is easier to understand.

Microsoft plans to complete the Windows 11 22H2 feature development on February 4, 2022, that is, Microsoft will not add other new features after this date. Considering that the period between the completion of development in February and the release in October is very long, it is also possible that Microsoft will start testing the Windows 11 23H2 version before the fall.

At that time, Windows 11 version 22H2 may gradually turn to the Windows Insider Beta channel to find known problems and improve system stability. However, it is still relatively early before the new version is released, so it remains to be seen how Microsoft’s follow-up plans will be, so interested users, please continue to pay attention to my reports.
