[German]A few days ago, Microsoft released its latest Windows ADK (Assessment and Deployment Kit) for Windows 11 22H2. However, this ADK contains some unpleasant surprises or bugs. For example, the Win PE build from this ADK cannot be used with Windows 11 22H2 due to a version conflict. Furthermore a .dll is missing in the ADK, so that VBScript does not work in this version. It's not the end of the world but still kind of dumb.

[German]Next Tuesday, September 26, 2023 (D-Week), Microsoft plans to release its optional update for Windows 11 22H2. This brings Copilot with AI features to this Windows 11 build. There was some confusion because it could be interpreted that Windows 11 23H2 would be released then. Basically, the bits for the fall 2023 update for Windows 11 are already on the systems and can be unlocked via Enablement Update. In general, Microsoft wants to do that in Q4 2023 (so from October). In addition to Copilot's AI features, Microsoft is shipping up to more than 150 new features or changes in this OS feature update to 23H2 (and probably 22H2). Microsoft announced this on September 21, 2023, and revealed more details at the same time. Note: Text regarding the release of 23H2 and rollout of Copilot of 22H2 adjusted.
