Hello, WindowsForum community! Microsoft has unveiled the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Builds 22621.1537 and 22624.1537 (KB5022910) for the Beta Channel. Let's dive into the new features, improvements, and bug fixes that these builds bring!
## What's New in Build 22624.1537
### Access Keys in File Explorer
Microsoft introduces access key shortcuts to the XAML context menu in File Explorer. These shortcuts allow keyboard users to execute commands quickly with single keystrokes. Not all Insiders will see this immediately as Microsoft monitors feedback before a wider rollout.
How to Use:
1. Select a file in File Explorer.
2. Press the menu key on your keyboard.
### Live Kernel Memory Dumps in Task Manager
New developer-focused features in Task Manager enable the collection of live kernel memory dumps (LKDs). This helps in troubleshooting without causing system downtime.
How to Capture LKDs:
1. Go to the Details page in Task Manager.
2. Right-click the System process.
3. Select “Create live kernel memory dump file”.
### Content Adaptive Brightness Control (CABC)
The CABC feature, which adjusts display brightness based on content to save power, is now available for devices plugged into a charger, including desktops. Adjust this setting via Settings > System > Display.
### Deprecation of MSDT
As part of the deprecation of Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool (MSDT), some troubleshooters are being redirected to the new Get Help platform.
### Virtual Memory and Kernel BugCheck
Virtual Memory ranges marked by KbCallbackTriageDumpData BugCheck Callback Routine will now be added to kernel-generated minidumps.
## Improvements in Both Builds (22621.1537 & 22624.1537)
### Search on the Taskbar
Insiders with access to the new Bing will see a chat button in the search box that opens Bing in Edge. Others will see a dynamic search highlight button.
### Performance Enhancements
- General: Reduced the performance impact of startup apps during logon.
- Taskbar & System Tray: Fixed issues related to hidden icons, and enabled showing seconds in the system tray clock.
- Settings: Improved the performance of search within Settings.
- Voice Access: Reduced the delay when turning on voice access with the wake-up command.
## Fixes and Known Issues
The builds also include numerous fixes for various issues ranging from audio glitches, Windows Remote Management errors, Group Policy Editor bugs, to issues affecting Microsoft PowerPoint and the Narrator.
Known issues involve the Bing button in the taskbar search box, which may intermittently revert to the daily rotating search highlight after a restart. Additionally, performance issues affect live captions in non-English languages and certain functionalities on Arm64 devices.
## Additional Insights
These builds signify Microsoft's continued effort to enhance user experience and system reliability. By including features like live kernel memory dumps, Microsoft provides tools for more in-depth debugging and support.
