14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has just released new testing builds for Windows 11 insiders enrolled in the Beta channel, and as per the company’s new approach, two new versions are live right now.
In other words, if you’re part of the Beta channel, you should be provided with either 22621.450 or 22622.450, both of them available via update KB5016700.
Just like before, the two builds come with new features rolling out or off by default, as per the following configuration:
- Build 22622.450 = New features rolling out
- Build 22621.450 = New features off by default
Microsoft says the new builds come with enhanced Microsoft Defender for Endpoint capabilities to detect and intercept ransomware and advanced attacks, while also featuring improved storage replication on low bandwidth or congested WAN.
There are more fixes in these builds, as follows:
- We fixed an issue that causes Windows to display tablet mode features for some devices that do not have touchscreens.
- We fixed an issue that causes some application windows to have blank sections in the Task View preview.
- We fixed an issue that occurs for some of you when you copy files from network drives. The error code is 0x80070026.
- We fixed a token leak issue in the LsapGetClientInfoEx
- We fixed an issue that, in certain cases, causes sihost.exe to use a high amount of the CPU.
- We fixed an issue that causes Microsoft Edge to stop responding when you use IE mode. This issue also prevents you from interacting with a dialog.
Needless to say, these builds also come with a series of known issues, including a new one that’s causing the audio to stop working.
