If your system runs Windows 10 2004, 20H2, 21H1, or version 21H2, you can upgrade to version 22H2 quickly without reinstallation. You can upgrade to 22H2 using the Enablement Package. You don’t have to install the Feature update/Windows Setup, and no ISO or Media Creation Tool is needed.
(If a device is updating from Windows 10, version 1909 or an earlier version, this feature update enablement package cannot be installed.)
Upgrade to 22H2 Using Enablement Package
As Windows 10 21H2 has reached the end of servicing, it’s highly advisable to upgrade to 22H2. Download the 22H2 Enablement package KB5015684 (size: 180 KB) from the following link and run it.
Prerequisites
Before updating to Windows 10, version 22H2 using an enablement package, you must be running Windows 10, version 2004, 20H2, or 21H1. You must have the following prerequisites installed before applying this update:

More Information
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 enables an update from version 2004, 20H2, 21H1, or 21H2 to version 22H2 with a single restart, reducing update downtime. 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.

My system just downloaded this update: Feature Update to Windows 10 22H2 via Enablement
Package (KB5015684) !
and it took my Brave Browser off my start up screen and off my damn desktop as well !!
I don’t like updates that do this to my system with my my permission !!
and I did not give Microsoft China base coders permission to do so !!
this is were all our OS system updates are coming from now is China and they code things badly there and not to American standers either and they also add viruses to the code as well !!
I had one that I got from them 3 weeks ago that effected my OS windows 10 pro and made it crash constantly and I could not stay on my System desktop to even uninstall the update they sent to my computer I had to go and format my main SSD drive and reinstall windows 10 pro again !! and the virus also effected my cMos” bios and corrupted it so my mother board did not recognize my cpu I had to buy a cheap computer and download New bios from Asus and and it took 2 of them to fix the issue so my motherboard see my cpu again and be up and running working again !!
So I do not TRUST Microsoft anymore !!
