14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has just released a new Windows 11 preview build to users who are enrolled in the Dev channel of the Windows Insider program.
Windows 11 build 22563 doesn’t bring as many new goodies as the previous release, but it still comes with good news for those who want to play with new feature.
For example, it included a refined taskbar specifically built with tablets in mind, as well as additional improvements here and there. Microsoft too explains that not all the new builds shipped to insiders can bring a plethora of new features, and it’s all because of obvious reasons.
“As a reminder, not every build we release will have as many new features as last week’s build. However, this build includes a few new features for Insiders to try out as we roll them out including a tablet-optimized taskbar experience, some improvements to content in Widgets, and a new group policy for IT admins in education,” the company says.
Lots of fixes
In addition to the new features, Microsoft has also introduced a lot of fixes in this build, including several of them specifically aimed at the Start menu.
“Fixed an issue that was causing the Start menu to not open consistently with the new touch gesture where you swipe up from the bottom of the screen. When recommended items are newly added or removed, their icons will now be animated to fade in and out,” the company explains.
“The sleep icon in the power menu is no longer incorrectly showing as a bell. Fixed an issue causing the apostrophe in the power button tooltip to not display correctly. Names of apps in folders no longer appear blurred briefly when opening folders in Start. Fixed a crash some people were encountering when trying to share an app from the All apps list.”
This build can be downloaded right now from Windows Update.
