Microsoft have released new builds of Windows 11 for Windows Insiders on the beta channel (Windows 11 22H2). As Microsoft have done for the last few weeks they have two builds available. 22622.450 has the new features and 22621.450 has the new features switched off:

  • Build 22622.450 = New features rolling out.
  • Build 22621.450 = New features off by default.

The builds don’t include new features this week but there are plenty of fixes. Microsoft are close to finishing off the Windows 11 22H2 update, there is no official release date yet but my guess is the end of September.

Here are the changes:

Fixes included for BOTH Build 22621.450 & Build 22622.450

This update includes the following improvements:

  • New! We enhanced Microsoft Defender for Endpoint’s ability to identify and intercept ransomware and advanced attacks.
  • New! We compressed a file regardless of its size if you have configured Server Message Block (SMB) Compression.
  • New! We improved storage replication that occurs over low bandwidth or congested wide area networks (WAN).
  • We fixed an issue that causes Windows to display tablet mode features for some devices that do not have touchscreens.
  • We fixed an issue that causes some application windows to have blank sections in the Task View preview.
