Microsoft has released a new Windows 11 preview build to users in the Dev channel, bringing the OS build number to 22489.

This new build comes with a new Your Microsoft account settings page that includes more information about the Microsoft account right on Windows 11.

However, Microsoft says the rollout is happening slowly, as only a few users are getting it right now.

The new Microsoft account settings page includes details like subscriptions to Microsoft 365, payment details, Microsoft Rewards, and links to order details.

Further information will be added at a later time, Microsoft says.

“Over time, we plan to improve the Your Microsoft account settings page based on your feedback from Feedback Hub via Online Service Experience Packs. These Online Service Experience Packs work in a similar way as the Windows Feature Experience Packs do, allowing us to make updates to Windows outside of major OS updates,” the company explains.

More bug fixes and improvements

This new build also comes with plenty of improvements and bug features, with the company explaining that it decided to split the Apps & Features setting page into two different sections that are now called Installed Apps and Advanced app settings.

“In this build, you will notice links to Windows Update, Recovery and For developers under the main Windows Update Settings page. You will need to click on Windows Update a second time to check for updates. The Recovery and For developers links should not appear under Windows Update in settings. These issues will be fixed in a future build,” the company explains.

Other bugs, such as users not being able to search from the Start menu, are still there in this build, and Microsoft says it’s still working on developing a full fix that would be issued to users out there at a later time.
