Microsoft has announced an update to the Windows ADK (Assessment and Deployment Kit) for Windows 11 version 22H2. The new release brings improvements to Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE), WPA (Windows Performance Analyzer) and Windows System Image Manager SIM.

In case you don’t know, ADK helps with large-scale deployment of custom Windows images, and tools like Windows Assessment Toolkit and Windows Performance Toolkit, of which WPA is a part, help assess the performance and quality of images before they’re deployed.

WPA is now built on .NET 6 and brings native ARM64 support; Speaking of which, WinPE now has x64 emulation on ARM64 WinPE. The full release notes for the September 2023 Windows 11 22H2 ADK update are given below:
