To STAY on Windows10 22H2 whilst avoiding ALL monthly previews within GPedit:

GPedit Path:
Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Windows Components>Windows Update> Windows Update for Business>

Select when Preview builds and features are recieved:

Select Target Feature Update version:

for each setting hit the [Apply] button at the foot of the settings page.

NOTE: (TFUv) Target Feature Update version now replaces the older TargetReleaseVersion nomenclature (TRV)

Windows - commercial by definition and now function...

I am Win10/Pro 21H2. I have the GP=2 (notify download/install).

Way back in version 20H2 (I think it was), I used those old screens to prevent Preview Builds (aka optional updates) from ever appearing in the WU queue. Tonight, I checked my GP settings for ‘Select when Preview Builds and Feature Updates are received’. The old screens for the setting have changed (as you note), but the setting is still enabled and the 1st option now looks exactly like yours: it is ‘0’ days. But, the 2nd option is blank: nothing is in the pause-preview-date field.

A new Preview for 21H2 was released Nov 15 (KB5020030), but nothing on my WU screen has yet indicated that it has arrived in the WU queue. So, it appears that the still-enabled ‘Select when Preview Builds and Feature Updates are received’ setting is working the way it used to work, without putting any date in the 2nd-option field.

Same here but I did it when I first upgraded from Win7 to Win10 1909 and, just like @WCHS, it now shows 0 days with no date in the second field.

And I’ve never had any “preview updates” appear in the Windows update list since I first set it back in early 2021.

My Windows 10 22H2 is set to ‘Not Configured’ and I never got preview updates.
