Microsoft has started force installing Windows 11 23H2 on eligible devices that have reached or are close to their end-of-servicing date.
The Windows 11 23H2 forced rollout phase announced by Redmond this week comes after systems running multiple editions of Windows 11 21H2 were automatically updated to Windows 11 22H2 before they reached the end of support on October 11.
This automated process is part of a procedure where Microsoft regularly initiates automatic feature updates to ensure that it can keep servicing devices near their EOS date and provide the latest updates, security updates, and improvements.
The company announced the release of Windows 11, version 23H2 on October 31, one month after it started rolling out to Insiders in the Release Preview Channel for enterprise testing.
The Windows 11 23H2 update process involves an enablement package that activates features already shipped in previous 22H2 updates but still waiting to be toggled on.
The list of new features shipped with the Windows 11 2023 Update includes the AI-powered Windows Copilot digital assistant, a revamped File Explorer, Dynamic Lighting support, an improved volume mixer, and a revamped Windows Spotlight experience.
The automatic updates will roll out gradually, starting with devices that have been running Windows 11 21H2 the longest.
