Hi all, Last Wednesday Microsoft released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22621 to the Beta Channel.
TL;DR
- We are releasing ISOs for this build – they can be downloaded here.
- This build includes a small set of fixes that will improve the overall experience for Windows Insiders on their devices.
Changes and Improvements
[General]
- [REMINDER] The build watermark at the lower right-hand corner of the desktop is no longer present in this build. This doesn’t mean we’re done, and the watermark will return to Insiders in a future build.
Fixes
[General]
- Updated the underlying speech platform to improve voice activity detection for voice access, live captions, and voice typing, as well as address some issues with how punctuation is recognized.
[File Explorer]
- Fixed an issue leading to Insiders seeing error 0x800703E6 when copying files from Google Drive.
- Fixed an issue where if you had ever opened the context menu, doing CTRL + ALT + DEL and cancelling would lead to explorer.exe crashing.
[Taskbar]
- Fixed an issue related to loading the system tray icons in Settings > Personalization > Taskbar which could cause Settings to crash when opening that page recently. This issue may have also led to some explorer.exe crashes for impacted Insiders.
[Windows Security]
- Fixed an issue which could result in Smart App Control unexpectedly blocking correctly signed applications.
Known issues
[Live captions]
- Certain apps in full screen (e.g., video players) prevent live captions from being visible.
- Certain apps positioned near the top of the screen and closed before live captions is run will re-launch behind the live captions window positioned at top. Use the system menu (ALT + Spacebar) while the app has focus to move the app’s window further down.
