This update will be offered automatically for Windows Insiders already on Windows 10, version 21H2 in the Release Preview Channel. For Insiders not yet on Windows 10, version 21H2 – this update is offered via our “seeker” experience in Windows Update and ONLY to Insiders who were moved from the Beta Channel to the Release Preview Channel because their PC did not meet the hardware requirements for Windows 11. This means these Insiders will need to go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and choose to download and install Windows 10, version 21H2.


this Version is also available as ISO :

Well, I downloaded the ISO and checked the Version of it. It is NOT 1202 as advertised, but 19044.1165 instead

The KB5005101 from August 19th had the Version 1200, the one from August 31st has the version 1202 because of this:
We fixed an issue that causes the Windows Update settings page to stop responding after you download an optional update.
However, the ISO that is available which is marked as 19044.1202 is in fact19044.1165

I finally run 21H2 on my release preview channel. Since WU did not updated it to 19044, I updated it with the ISO mentioned above. Then just the latest CU installed and winver says now 19044.1202. As also mentioned above the ISO provided by MS is not what they want it to be, namely 19044.1202, it is actually 19044.1165
