14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has just rolled out a new Windows 11 preview build, and once again, it’s only aimed at users enrolled in the Dev channel of the Windows Insider program.
Windows 11 build 22499 comes with the ability to share a window in a Microsoft Teams call right from the taskbar, but also with several other fixes and improvements.
There are several important bug fixes in this new build, and one of them concerns a BSOD that some devices were hitting when resuming from sleep. Furthermore, Microsoft a fix improving the experience with the built-in Snipping Tool.
“When taking a screenshot of a UWP app by pressing the New button in Snipping Tool, Snipping Tool should come into the foreground once the snip is done,” the Redmond-based software giant explains.
“Did some work to help address an issue resulting in certain games having some lag that was only noticeable when the window was in focus. As a reminder if needed, please refer to the following documentation for filing actionable game perf feedback.”
Known issues
When it comes to known issues, this build comes with both old and new problems that Microsoft is currently trying to fix.
Some of them, for instance, are making it harder to install the latest build.
“We’re investigating an issue where some PCs are unable to install new builds, or other updates. The PC may report an error code 0x80070002. If you are experiencing this issue, please reboot your PC and try again. Some PCs may rollback with error code 0xc1900101-0x4001c when installing this build. If you hit this, after the PC rolls back to the previous build, you may want to pause updates until we release a fix,” Microsoft explains.
You can download the new Windows 11 preview build from Windows Update if you’re part of the Dev channel in the Windows Insider program.
