Hello Windows Insiders,
We are excited to announce the release of Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22621.1830 and Build 22631.1830 (KB5026443) to the Beta Channel.
### Build Highlights:
- Build 22631.1830 = New features rolling out.
- Build 22621.1830 = New features off by default.
REMINDER: Insiders who were previously on Build 22624 will automatically get moved to Build 22631 via an enablement package. This enablement package artificially increments the build number for the update with new features getting rolled out and turned on, making it easier to differentiate from devices with the update with features off by default. This approach is being used for the Beta Channel only and is not indicative of any changes or plans for final feature rollouts.
Insiders who landed in the group with new features turned off by default (Build 22621.xxxx) can check for updates and choose to install the update that will have features rolling out (Build 22631.xxxx).
### Changes and Improvements in Build 22631.1830
Networking
- WPA3 Support for Phone Link Instant Hotspot: Added WPA3 support to the Phone Link instant hotspot feature for more secure connections to a phone’s hotspot.
- Enhanced Metered Connection Settings: Made fixes to respect metered connection settings.
- Reduced Duplicate Profiles: Worked on reducing duplicate profiles.
- Enhanced Network List Display: Now shows the phone’s display name in the network list for easier identification.
### About the Beta Channel
The Beta Channel is where we preview experiences that are closer to what we will ship to our general customers. Because the Dev and Beta Channels represent parallel development paths from our engineers, there may be cases where features and experiences show up in the Beta Channel first.
However, this does not mean every feature we try out in the Beta Channel will ship. We encourage Insiders to read this blog post that outlines the ways we’ll try things out with Insiders in both the Dev and Beta Channels.
