Microsoft’s simultaneous releases of Build 22621 and Build 22622
The key distinction between the two is that the newly added features are turned off by default in Build 22621 but are on in Build 22622. The latter is what Microsoft is giving with their enabling bundle. The goal is to gauge the effect of allowing the additional features based on feedback and use statistics from both groups after initially testing the procedure of having the features turned off by default. Consequently, it is possible to disable a problematic feature. In addition, this method will make it possible for the firm to temporarily remove a feature while associated issues are fixed.
Users who have installed Build 22621.xx have the option of manually checking for Windows Updates (KB5014959) and upgrading to Build 22622.xx in order to try out the newest changes. Users who have updated to Windows 11 Build 22622 may still be unable to use some new features as they are rolled out in stages.
The Beta Channel now has support for Suggested Actions, a OneDrive storage alert, and subscription management.
New with Build 25115, Suggested Actions are now accessible to users in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. However, it is possible to make it work in any country by switching the Country and Regional Format in the Settings menu. Users may now take actions in any app whenever they highlight (select) a date, time, or phone number. The new OneDrive storage alert and subscription management page in the Settings app was launched in Build 25145 and is available to users in the beta channel.
Microsoft’s Search Highlights feature is now available in Windows 10 and Windows 11. These goodies will most likely be released via the Windows 11 22H2 feature upgrade in the coming months.
