Last Updated On: 05 Aug 2026|
17 minutes read |

This page explains how to download the Windows 11 23H2 dependency ISO file, upload it to the patch store, and deploy the October 2023 feature update using Patch Manager Plus, Patch Manager Plus, or Patch Manager Plus — covering all edition and upgrade-path combinations, the Enablement Package path for devices already on Windows 11 22H2, and language-specific ISO file names.

Overview

Released in October 2023, Windows 11 23H2 is the annual feature update for Windows 11. For a full list of what's new, refer to the official Microsoft Windows 11 release information page. To install the Windows 11 23H2 feature update, the device must be running Windows 10 version 2004 or a later version. For a complete list of system requirements, refer to the Windows 11 specifications page.

Note
  • Deployment of the Windows 11 23H2 feature pack is supported only in Patch Manager Plus build versions 10.0.147 and above.
  • The SSP (Self-Service Portal) method is not applicable for performing a feature pack upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 via Patch Management.
  • For devices already running Windows 11 version 22H2, only the Enablement Package patch is required to upgrade to version 23H2. Refer to the Enablement Package section below.

Prerequisites

Complete the following checks before beginning the deployment.

  1. Run the Compatibility Check available at the end of the Microsoft Windows 11 specifications page to confirm all target systems meet the minimum requirements that affect upgradeability.
  2. Enable the Feature Pack option in Patch Database Settings:
    • In Patch Manager Plus: navigate to Patch Mgmt → Settings → Patch Database Settings, click the Windows tab, and enable the Feature Pack option.
    • In Patch Manager Plus: navigate to Admin → Settings → Patch Database Settings, click the Windows tab, and enable the Feature Pack option.
  3. Confirm that feature pack updates have not been declined under Decline Patches.

Patch IDs by Edition and Upgrade Path

Use the correct main patch ID and dependency patch ID based on the source OS version and the target edition. The dependency ISO must be uploaded before the main patch can be deployed. Devices already running Windows 11 version 22H2 only require the Enablement Package — no ISO upload is needed for that path.

Note
Enterprise edition ISO files must be downloaded from the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. For additional guidance on locating ISO files in the Volume Licensing portal, refer to this Microsoft guide.

Upload the ISO File

The dependency ISO file must be uploaded to the patch store before the main feature pack patch can be deployed. The steps below apply to all edition and upgrade-path combinations. Devices already running Windows 11 22H2 can skip this section and use the Enablement Package instead.

Note
Applicable from build 2605 and above: Starting from build 2605, manual upload of the ISO file is no longer mandatory for Feature Pack deployment. The following key points apply:
  1. Dependency patches will not appear in the Uploaded Patches view by default.
  2. The system will automatically handle ISO download and deployment during the Feature Pack deployment process.
  3. If the ISO download fails, the corresponding dependency patch will appear in the Uploaded Patches view, allowing manual intervention.
  4. If a previously uploaded ISO is available, deployment will continue using the manually uploaded file.
  5. If patches were previously uploaded and later deleted, the dependency patch will not appear in the Uploaded Patches view but will be automatically re-downloaded during the next deployment attempt.

Builds 10.1.2282.6 and Above (Patch Manager Plus and Endpoint Central)

Two upload methods are available for these build versions.

Method 1 — Upload from the Error Prompt

  1. Click Upload next to the Download failed error message.
  2. In the pop-up window, browse and select the downloaded ISO file.
  3. Choose a Checksum type (MD5 or SHA256).
  4. Enter the checksum value and wait for validation.
  5. Once validated, click Upload. The patch is ready to install once the upload completes.

Method 2 — Upload from Downloaded Patches

  • In Patch Manager Plus: navigate to Patches → Downloaded Patches, search for the required patch, and click Upload under the Action column. Then follow Method 1 steps above.
  • In Patch Manager Plus: navigate to Patch Mgmt → Downloaded Patches, search for the required patch, and click Upload under the Action column. Then follow Method 1 steps above.

The screenshots below show the upload dialog for each edition.

  2. Locate the patch store directory:
    • In Patch Manager Plus: navigate to Patch Management → Downloaded Patches → Settings → Patch Repository Location.
    • In Patch Manager Plus: navigate to Patches → Downloaded Patches → Settings → Patch Repository Location.
    • In Patch Manager Plus: navigate to Patches → Downloaded Patches → Settings → Patch Repository Location.

Note

English ISO file names (64-Bit):

  • Enterprise edition: 110951-Win11_23H2_en_enterprisex64.iso
  • All other editions: 110949-Win11_23H2_enx64.iso

For deployments in multiple languages, download the ISO for each required language and place all files in the patch store. See the language-specific ISO filename table below for the correct filename for each language.

Deploy the Windows 11 23H2 Feature Pack

Once the dependency ISO file has been uploaded, deploy the main patch from the console using either a manual configuration or an Automated Patch Deployment task.

Manual Deployment — Upgrading from Windows 11 Version 21H2

  1. In the server web console, navigate to the Missing Patches view.
  2. Select the applicable Windows 11 23H2 feature pack patch from the table above.
  3. Click Install Patch to deploy.

Manual Deployment — Upgrading from Windows 10

  1. In the server web console, navigate to the Supported Patches view.
  2. Select the applicable Windows 11 23H2 feature pack patch from the table above.
  3. Click Install Patch to deploy.

Automated Patch Deployment (APD)

  1. When creating an APD task, select the Feature Pack checkbox while defining the patch task criteria.
  2. Once the dependency ISO is in the patch store, the feature pack will deploy automatically to target computers during the next scheduled deployment window. A separate on-demand configuration can also be created for a specific patch if required.
Tip
If you encounter errors during installation or upgrade, refer to the Windows 11 installation failure knowledge base for resolution steps.

Enablement Package (Windows 11 22H2 and 23H2)

Devices already running Windows 11 version 22H2 only need the Enablement Package to upgrade to version 23H2. No ISO download or manual upload is required for this upgrade path.
