Microsoft began offering the Windows 11 22H2 update to Windows Insiders in the Release Preview channel earlier this week. But the update didn't just go to people who were supposed to get it—it was also released to many PCs that don't meet Windows 11's stringent new system requirements.

As reported by Neowin, users on Reddit and Twitter whose unsupported Windows 10 PCs were signed up for the Release Preview channel were shown notifications that the Windows 11 22H2 update was available and that their PCs suddenly met the requirements to install it. This raised the possibility that Microsoft could be relaxing the system requirements for Windows 11, but the Windows Insider Program Twitter account confirmed Wednesday that the notifications were due to a bug and that the requirements were not changing.
