The work on the next Windows 11 feature update continues, this time with a new pair of preview builds that have been shipped by Microsoft to users enrolled in the Beta channel of the Windows Insider program.

As per Microsoft’s most recent approach, the software giant is releasing two separate builds, one with new features turned on and a second one that is specifically focused on fixing things in the operating system.

The new builds for the Beta channel are the following:  

  • Build 22623.1020= New features rolling out.
  • Build 22621.1020 = New features off by default. 

As for what’s new in these Windows 11 Beta builds, Microsoft says it has added support for new Braille displays in Narrator, while also refining the spelling dictionary.

“The spelling dictionary now uses a language-neutral word list and syncs across all devices that use the same Windows account (Microsoft accounts and AAD) is now available to all Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel. Users can toggle this feature via Settings > Accounts > Windows backup > Remember my preferences > Language preferences,” the software giant explains.

At the same time, Microsoft explains that the Settings app is also getting further refinements, including for Windows Spotlight.

“We combined Windows Spotlight with Themes on the Personalization page. This made it easier for you to discover and turn on the Windows Spotlight feature. We provided the full amount of storage capacity of all your Microsoft OneDrive subscriptions. We also displayed the total storage on the Accounts page in the Settings app. We gave Microsoft OneDrive subscribers storage alerts on the Systems page in the Settings app. The alerts appeared when you were close to your storage limit. You could also manage your storage and purchase additional storage, if needed,” Microsoft says.
