Microsoft Office is everything. Now it's Microsoft 365 with a new logo!
Microsoft has officially announced Windows 10 version 22H2

TL:DR: There is no single mention of what is actually new in this release. According to MS, it comes with "a limited scope of new features and functionality".

Home and Pro editions of the 2022 Update will receive 18 months of servicing, and Enterprise and Education editions will have 30 months of servicing.

To get Windows 10 version 22H2, head up over Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and click on  Check for updates.

Windows Terminal is now the new default console in Windows 11

The change goes live in the recently released version 22H2 with "Moment 1" update installed. The app now supersedes the classic command prompt and PowerShell options.

By visiting Settings (Win + I) > Privacy & security > For developers, you can change the Terminal drop-down menu to the desired console app. The "Let Windows decide" value, which is set by default, will now make the OS use Windows Terminal.
