Microsoft shipped new builds in the Beta channel

Microsoft has released new Windows 11 preview builds for insiders in the Beta channel, and just like before, the company is rolling out two different builds with new features activated or disabled by default.

The new builds that are available for download right now are the following:  

  • Build 22622.590 = New features rolling out
  • Build 22621.590 = New features off by default

There are no new features in these builds, but Microsoft says it has included several fixes in build 22622.590, including for a bug that caused the classic Control Panel to no longer start from the Start menu, search, or from a shortcut added to the taskbar.

This glitch was first reported in the previous Windows 11 preview build.

In addition, Microsoft says it has disabled the option to share a file to OneDrive from the desktop.

“As a result of feedback from Windows Insiders, we have disabled the ability to share a local file directly to OneDrive using the built-in Windows share window that first began rolling out to Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel with Build 22622.436. We hope to bring this feature back in the future after further refinement of the experience. As we’ve mentioned previously, features we try out in the Dev or Beta Channels may not always ship,” the company says.

Microsoft also warns of two separate issues in File Explorer, with investigations already underway.

“We’re investigating reports that a small set of Insiders with “launch folder windows in a separate process” are unable to open File Explorer after last week’s flight. This issue is unrelated to the issue with accessing certain folders in the same flight, which is fixed in this week’s flight. We’re working on the fix for an issue where command bar items like copy, paste, and empty recycle bin may unexpectedly not be enabled when they should be,” the company explains.
