Windows 11: finally good one year after release?
Around the release of Windows 11 in October 2021, Microsoft announced that there would be an optional and free feature update for users once a year in the future. Every new operating system version receives 24 months of support from Microsoft, so that every user can decide for himself when to switch to a new OS version. Since September 20, the Redmond company has been distributing Windows 11 Version 22H2 under the title Windows 11 2022 Update. In this article, we present the big new features of the first feature update.

With Windows 11, a newly designed start menu has found its way, which, in addition to pinned programs, also has a recommended area that lists recently opened programs and files sorted chronologically. However, some users complain about the rigid classification. Only after updating to version 22H2 can you determine how much space the recommended area should take up. And if you like, you can hide the area so that only a hint text appears. However, this setting also affects the file explorer, so that the quick access view is no longer possible there. The folders in the start menu are celebrating a comeback. The app folders can also be named. To create a folder, just slide two app icons towards each other, then an animation will appear and a folder will appear.
