Silently performs Windows 10 22H2 Feature Update via Update Assistant.
This Worklet will perform an in-place feature update to Windows 10 22H2 by invoking the Windows Update Assistant utility silently.
To ensure that your Windows 10 devices are receiving the most current monthly updates use this worklet to update to 22H2, which will be the final version of Windows 10.
Review the changelog or official documentation to understand the new features and improvements introduced in the update. If there are specific features that interest your end user or address issues they're facing, it’s time to update.
Additionally, feature updates often include bug fixes and stability improvements. If end users are experiencing issues with their current Windows version, updating to the newer version might resolve those problems.
Check the system requirements and verify if the hardware and software are compatible with the new version. Compatibility issues could potentially cause problems with the system or software.
Before initiating the update process, it's a good practice to back up your important data as a precautionary measure. This way, if any issues arise during the update, you can restore your previous Windows version without losing important data.
This Worklet only works against Windows 10 devices that are not already on 22H2. The target device needs about 12GB of free disk space available and TLS 1.2 enabled.
The evaluation code will check whether the device is Windows 10 or 11. If Windows 11, the device is compliant and the code will Exit 0. If the device is on Windows 10, it will check if the version is 10.0.19045 (22H2). If the device is on 22H2 already, it is compliant and the evaluation code will Exit 0.
If the device is not on Windows 10 - 22H2, the device will be flagged for remediation. The remediation code will download the Windows Update Assistant tool directly from Microsoft. TLS 1.2 is required for downloading the tool via System.Net.WebClient. If TLS 1.2 is not enabled, the Win10UpgradeWUA function will attempt to enable it before downloading the file.
Once WUA is downloaded, it will then be invoked silently to perform the caching and installation of the 22H2 Feature Update. The Feature Update download may take up to 2 hours depending on the device's internet bandwidth. When the 22H2 Feature Update is cached, the device will reboot automatically to finalize the Feature Update.
The reboot action is automatic and triggered through the Windows Update Assistant tool directly. It will use Microsoft's default branded notifications, and therefore Automox Install and Reboot notifications should NOT be enabled within the Worklet. After the reboot completes, the device will go through the initial Feature Update OOBE (Out of Box Experience) setup.
Note: User notifications and reboots are driven through the Windows Update Assistant utility, and therefore should NOT be enabled within the Worklet.
