Microsoft will stop providing semi-annual updates in new Windows Server releases.
One of the big changes in the upcoming Windows Server 2022 release is the shift to a new update release cadence. Microsoft will use the release to drop the semi-annual channel updates and instead switch the product to the Long Term Servicing Channel (LTSC). “This [LTSC] channel provides systems with a long servicing option and functional stability, and can be installed with Server Core or Server with Desktop Experience installation options,” says Microsoft.
