Chuck Walbourn -

Visual Studio 2022 Update 1 (a.k.a. 17.1) is now available for download, including the updated Community edition. The VS 2022 Redistribution packages are also available (x86, x64, arm64), as well as the Remote Debugging Tools (x86, x64, arm64). For more information see the Visual Studio Team blog and the release notes.

Visual Studio 17.0, 17.1, and 17.2 are out of their support lifecycle as of January 2024.

Compiler and CRT

VS 2022 Update 1 includes a revision of the C/C++ compiler (19.31.31104.0).

17.1 update C++ compiler
17.1.0 19.31.31104.0
17.1.2 19.31.31105.0
17.1.4 19.31.31106.0
17.1.6 19.31.31107.0

The C/C++ Runtime (14.31.31103) is binary compatible with VS 2015 Update 3 through VS 2022, which means you can safely link C/C++ code built with VS 2015 Update 3, VS 2017, or VS 2019 with VS 2022. See Microsoft Docs for details. A full list of updates to the Standard C++ Library can be found on GitHub.

clang/LLVM: VS 2022 Update 1 includes clang 13 for Windows as an optional component.
