Windows Server 2022 is the latest long term servicing channel release of Windows Server, which was released on 18 August 2021.[1] Despite sharing the same version string of "21H2" with both Windows 10 November 2021 Update and the initial release of Windows 11, it is based on the Iron codebase rather than Vibranium or Cobalt, respectively. It includes Azure hybrid capabilities, the replacement of Internet Explorer with Microsoft Edge, TPM 2.0, UEFI Secure Boot, Boot DMA Protection, DNS-over-HTTPS and the Server Message Block (SMB) compression.

With Windows Server 2022, the Essentials edition is available to purchase from OEMs only, however there is no specific installation media or actual SKU as a Standard edition product key is instead provided. Since this release, the Hyper-V Server SKU is replaced by the subscription-based Azure Stack HCI which provides an integrated on-premise platform resembling Microsoft Azure.

This is the first version of Windows Server to introduce the Light theme, as well as the light version of the Hero wallpaper to go with it.
