Microsoft made a key Windows 11 22H2 Sun Valley 2 (SV2) reference but quickly removed it

Microsoft, inadvertently, released a page on Feedback Hub with reference to Windows 11 version 22H2 as it mentioned "SV2", likely the abbreviation of Sun Valley 2, the codename for Windows 11 22H2. The page asks users to "explore the newly refreshed Settings pages" that are part of the redesign effort to make it more consistent with everything else on the new OS.

The page said:

Explore the newly refreshed Settings pages

As part of SV2 we redesigned a handful of Settings pages to ensure they are updated and consistent with the rest of the app.

Prerequisites: All SV2 builds flighted after March 15th will have these features enabled by default.

Sun Valley 2 reference

However, after the firm realized that it had shared unintended information too soon, the page was taken down and replaced with the following that wipes out all references related to SV2 and the March 15th date (referring to the latest Build 22579) it had earlier mentioned:

Sun Valley 2 reference removed

If you are wondering what kind of new Settings design Microsoft is referring to, the company has released a few of these already that include a new Sustainability setting, Focus, among a few others.

Microsoft has been releasing these new features in the recent Windows 11 Dev channel builds, outside of its pipeline servicing updates. You can find details about those new features here.

This isn't the first time we have found Windows 11 22H2 hints as a script had also leaked earlier that mentioned a certain March 4th date, or perhaps even April 3rd. We wonder how these dates may be connected to the March 15 mentioned by Microsoft in the article here.
