The only Windows 10 updates for the year are coming. Spoiler alert: It's just security
To reduce an enterprise's attack surface, there will now be a rule blocking the abuse of vulnerable signed drivers from being exploited as a standard part of Microsoft Defender Antivirus Group Policy. This is expected to apply"across both client and server and helps prevent an application from writing a vulnerable signed driver to disk," the cloud architect said.
Printer security was a focus, including adding support for RedirectionGuard – which prevents the use of redirection primitives that were not created by an administrator from being followed – to the print service and enabling the CopyFilesPolicy for managing the processing of queue-specific files with the option of limiting such files to color profiles.
Systems running Windows 10 versions 21H1, 21H2, and 20H2 – which share the same core system files with 22H2 – will get the update as an enablement package, but as an optional update it won't install automatically. Instead, the onus is on the enterprise or user to install it manually via Windows Update.
Enterprise and Education users of version 22H2 will get 30 months of servicing, while Home and Pro users will get 18 months.
