### Release Notes We are now supporting Windows 2022 for our SaaS runners on Windows (Beta). Teams that require an on-demand Windows environment to build, test, and deploy code in a secure way can now streamline their development using fully integrated Windows 2022 SaaS runners on Windows. Try it out today by using `saas-windows-medium-amd64` as the tag in your .gitlab-ci.yml file. ### Context [Windows 2019 and Windows 2019 Containers](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/lifecycle/products/windows-server-2019) reach EOL on Jan 9, 2024. We want to support Windows 2022 before that. With the update, we also want to update all [preinstalled components](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ci-cd/shared-runners/images/gcp/windows-containers/-/blob/28290f994ea038fd78c3967547f4e670200b9504/cookbooks/preinstalled-software/attributes/default.rb) to the latest LTS versions.
