Windows 11 22H2 drivers

Windows 11 22H2, otherwise known as Windows 11 2022 Update, is now rolling out to consumers. This is the first major update to Windows 11 since its release in October 2021. At the moment, version 22H2 is available to ‘seekers’ who manually choose to download and install the update. It comes with an improved taskbar, a new Task Manager and more.

Chipmakers have already prepared their drivers ahead of the update’s wider rollout. For those unaware, Windows 11 22H2 includes the new version of Microsoft’s GPU  architecture “WDDM”. Version WDDM 3.1 comes with performance improvements and a couple of unknown changes that will be revealed later.

While the older drivers should continue to function normally with Windows 11 22H2 as Microsoft has always been careful with backward compatibility, dedicated driver support is always vital. Intel, AMD and Nvidia have released Windows 11 22H2 support drivers to iron out any compatibility or performance issues.
