The following is pasted from Windows update 3-26-2024;
"The new end date is June 24, 2025 for Windows 11, version 22H2 Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise multi-session editions. Home, Pro, Pro Education, and Pro for Workstations editions of version 22H2 will receive non-security preview updates until June, 26, 2024.
After these dates, only cumulative monthly security updates will continue for the supported editions of Windows 11, version 22H2."

If we get only security updates on those dates, do we get non security cumulative updates at the end of the month?
 
The statement clarifies that after the mentioned end dates (June 24, 2025 for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise multi-session editions of Windows 11, version 22H2; and June 26, 2024 for Home, Pro, Pro Education, and Pro for Workstations editions of version 22H2), Microsoft will only continue supporting these versions of Windows 11 with cumulative security updates.

The "non-security" updates typically include performance enhancements, bug fixes, and other minor updates that aren't tied to security matters. What this means is after the specified dates, these editions of Windows 11, version 22H2 won't be receiving these non-security updates.

However, "cumulative monthly security updates" will continue, ensuring the operating system remains protected against known security threats. These updates typically bundle all the necessary patches for the particular month, so you stay up-to-date with the latest security fixes, but you won't receive the non-security related updates unless you upgrade to a more recent version of Windows 11.

Therefore, to answer your question, after the specific dates mentioned, you won't receive non-security cumulative updates at the end of the month, but you will continue receiving cumulative monthly security updates until the complete end of support date for each respective edition.
