Key notes

It’s time to talk Insider builds once again, and what better occasion than the release of two brand new builds to the Windows 11 Beta Channel.

As you know, since months ago, Microsoft started flighting two separate builds to Beta Channel Insiders, one of them has new features rolling out, while the other has new features off by default.

Today, we are going to take a closer look at Builds 22621.1028 and Build 22623.1028 (KB5021866) and analyze what we received.

Please keep in mind that we are one week away from the December 2022 Patch Tuesday release, so it will be pretty interesting to see what Microsoft has prepared for us.

What’s new with Builds 22621.1028 and 22623.1028?

Speaking of the latest operating system (Windows 11), we invite you to take a look at some of the neatupcoming features.

Also, remember that if you haven’t yet upgraded, Microsoft is nowflighting Windows 11 to Windows 10 22H2 users via OOBE.

Please note that starting today, December 7th, Insiders in the Dev and Beta Channels will see quests start to light up in the Feedback Hub covering various scenarios Microsoft is looking for feedback on.

You can actually take the opportunity to try out some new features, test them out, and provide feedbak on your experience.

Furthermore, the Bug Bash will be running from 12am PST December 7th, to 11:59pm PST December 12th, so keep that in mind.

It goes without saying that, Insiders who participate, will receive a badge in the Feedback Hub once the Bug Bash is over.

Now, circling back to the Beta Channel release, know that Insiders who were previously on Build 22622 will automatically get moved to Build 22623 via an enablement package.

Let’s take a look at the changelog and discover together what the Redmond-based tech giant has prepared for us.

This is pretty much what we are dealing with in terms of new features, fixes, and known issues when it comes to 22621.1028 and Build 22623.1028 (KB5021866).

Remember that Windows 11 version 22H2 is still new and full ofbugs and glitches, so we’re going to have to be patient while Microsoft sorts everything out.
