Key notes
Microsoft is forever busy perfecting its products and keeps releasing updates to all Insiders and regular Windows OS users, regardless of version.
Ever since July, the tech giant began flighting two separate Windows 11 Preview builds for Insiders on the Beta channel for a staggered release.
That won’t stop today, as Microsoft has released an update with new builds 22621.875 and 22623.875 (KB5018486).
Don’t forget to also check out thebest mouse settings for gaming in Windows 11, in case you installed the new OS and plan on going on a virtual adventure.
What should I know about builds 22621.875 and 22623.875?
Please remember that Windows 11 Insiders who were previously on Build 22622 will automatically get moved to Build 22623 viaan enablement package.
The above-mentioned enablement package artificially increments the build number for the update with new features getting rolled out and turned on to make it easier to differentiate from devices with the update with features off by default.
Microsoft is using this approach for the Beta Channel only and is not indicative of any changes or plans for final feature rollouts.
