Another week and another Windows 11 beta build for Insiders in the Release Preview channel. But this one is based on the 22H2 version. A new Windows 11 build 22621.1483 is now rolling out to Insiders with some new changes and bug fixes. Let’s find out more about the update.
The last build in the Release Preview channel was for the Windows 11 original release, and this build is based on Windows 11 version 22H2. You can differentiate these two builds by their build number series, one has 22621 and the other 22000 series.
Now coming to the changes, here’s what Windows 11 Build 22621.1483 brings:
It brings Notifications for Microsoft accounts in the Start Menu. When you open the start menu, you will see the orange icon on top of the profile icon if there are any notifications. And you can see them by clicking on the icon.
The search box in the taskbar will include a button that opens the new Bing chat experience in Microsoft Edge if users have access to the New Bing. Those who don’t have access to the new Bing will see a dynamic search highlight button in the search bar.
Other Changes:
- New! This update adds many new features and improvements to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
