Had nothing but problems with this update; took ages for nothing to happen followed by a crash on 100% installed, along with more faffing about with error messages. Windows (10) doesn't tell you its automatically installing stuff. Took well over 6 hours to sort out. I downloaded several stand alone installers from the security catalog (x32 and ARM) then the x64 (correct) version. Windows Update then installed it successfully, wasting even more time.
If you need a Windows 10 22H2 ISO, it may be wise to create a USB installation stick, before it's gone forever.

The new updates to my desktop will be under the windows 11 thread
Got the new Windows PC healthcheck software the other day which informs me that my CPU isn't compatible with Windows 11; a TPM module is available, but there doesn't seem to be much point in getting one. I'm wondering how many people have had their computers (running W11 unofficially) affected by this.
I haven't heard of any problems so far. Here's a recent video explaining how to instal without TPM

This is for those who have managed to get into the free ESU program, as today (15th October) is the first day without official support if you aren't in the program.
Earlier today I downloaded the updates on the screenshot below:
The whole process took 2 hours 38 minutes from download to desktop, so they make you wait.
More Windows 10 stuff:
Some users may have been unable to get in the ESU program; getting "ESU not available" errors instead as mentioned on YouTube. From what I can gather, this seems to happen if you try to enrol in the program later. There is a licensing extension package update available, and if you're not or unable to enrol, this may fix it. According to the blurbs you'll need the update linked below:
