Windows 11 22h2 KB5029263 Changelog
Besides enhancing the security of all Microsoft Services and Windows Components, you will not see any major fix or improvement with this cumulative update.
However, you may encounter an issue after upgrading to this OS Build and that is –
Using provisioning packages on Windows 11, version 22H2 (also called Windows 11 2022 Update) might not work as expected. Windows might only be partially configured, and the Out Of Box Experience might not finish or might restart unexpectedly. Provisioning packages are .PPKG files which are used to help configure new devices for use on business or school networks. Provisioning packages which are applied during initial setup are most likely to be impacted by this issue. For more information on provisioning packages, please see Provisioning packages for Windows.
Sol: If you can provision the Windows device before upgrading to Windows 11, version 22H2, this will prevent the issue.
