While Microsoft is customarily quiet about the development of Windows 11 22H2, there is a buzz among the bees about how the latest version of the operating system is coming along.
And that buzz is growing louder.
We heard at the start of May that this version of the OS could be finalized by this month, and this was followed up by another report that the recently released build 22621 could, in fact, be the candidate that Redmond has an eye for to mark as the RTM version.
And now, famed leakster and Microsoft watcher WalkingCat has revealed that the momentous event is just a few days away.
The date for the Windows 11 22H2 RTM version has been set as May 24. This is when the company will sign off on this version of the OS internally, also going by the codename of Sun Valley 2.

There you go!
Bear in mind that this is just the finalization of the RTM version, also known as Release to Manufacturing. It is simply a process of signing off on a highly polished and optimized build of Windows 11, ready to be handed off to hardware manufacturers to deploy on their new devices.
The general availability of Windows 11 22H2 is rumored to be quite a while away still, with most voices pointing to arrival sometimes within the September to November timeframe.
There is one notable point to ponder here.
Keener eyes among you may have noticed that the Microsoft BUILD 2022 conference commences on May 24. During this three-day event, Microsoft unveils its latest developer tools, technologies, and updates for various software products.
So, this could well be a case where two major events go off in a single day.
Wouldn’t mind that!
