A new build is now available for the Dev channel

Microsoft has just released a new Windows 11 preview build for users in the Dev channel of the Windows Insider program.

If you’re excited about new features and things like that, don’t be, as the focus in this release is on fixing bugs and improving the general performance.

Windows 11 build 22483 is therefore supposed to polish the experience with the new operating system even further, with Microsoft explaining that otherwise, the only notable change is a new option that allows you to right-click the Recommended and More buttons in Start to refresh the items that you see.

Full focus on performance improvements and bug fixes

Otherwise, it’s all about further improvements, with Microsoft reminding users that everything being tested in the Dev channel don’t have a release date.

“These builds are from the earliest stage in a new development cycle with the latest work-in-progress code from our engineers. These aren’t always stable builds, and sometimes you will see issues that block key activities or require workarounds while flighting in the Dev Channel. It is important to make sure you read the known issues listed in our blog posts as we document many of these issues with each flight,” the company explains.

“These builds are also not matched to a specific release. New features and OS improvements from these builds could show up in future Windows releases when they’re ready, and we may deliver them as full OS updates or servicing releases.”

The rollout of Windows 11 to production devices is currently under way, with Microsoft hoping to complete it by the summer of 2022. Of course, the whole thing takes place in stages as part of an approach that Microsoft also used in the past and which allows the company to suspend the rollout for certain computers should it come across signs of a widespread bug.
