How do I get early Windows server updates so I can test it before it is available to the general public?

Question

I have a Windows 2022 server as a Domain Controller. There are changes in the NetLogon functionality (enforcement phase) as part of https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/kb5021130-how-to-manage-the-netlogon-protocol-changes-related-to-cve-2022-38023-46ea3067-3989-4d40-963c-680fd9e8ee25

I need to know how I can get an early update installed on my server and test it, before it is available to the general public.

I have checked the Insider Program and its not what I am looking for. I do not want to spin up an entire server to test a single update.

What are my options? Thanks

That's not possible.

But you can config Windows LiveUpdate to wait up to 30 days before it automatically installs the update, so enough time for you to test it.
