## Feature1 ## Features added to Windows withing the past year
Starting with Windows 11, version 22H2, new features and enhancements were introduced periodically to provide continuous innovation for Windows 11. These features and enhancements use the normal update servicing channels you're already familiar with. At first, new features are introduced with an **optional nonsecurity preview release** and gradually rolled out to unmanaged clients. These new features are released later as part of a **monthly security update release**. For more information about continuous innovation, see [Update release cycle for Windows clients](/windows/deployment/update/release-cycle#continuous-innovation-for-windows-11) Some of the features were released within the past year's continuous innovation updates and carry forward into the 23H2 annual feature update include:
