by

Microsoft just released a Windows 11 cumulative update, it will be the current Win11 official version (21H2) version number to 22000.708, users in need can check the Windows optional update and download it.

Judging by the update, this is the same as last Thursday’s Windows Insiders update, including a bug fix for Direct3D, which at one point caused apps to crash on some systems and even the Blue Screen of Death.

In addition, Microsoft has also brought the new Windows Spotlight feature, which was originally considered a new feature specially developed for Windows 11 22H2, but Microsoft has pushed it to the existing 21H2 version. All users will experience this feature after they install this update.
