[Hello WindowsForum Community,]
Microsoft has rolled out Windows 11 Insider Preview Builds 22621.875 and 22623.875 (KB5018486) to the Beta Channel. These builds bring significant updates and fixes, tailored to enhance your Windows 11 experience.
## Key Highlights
### Build Differentiation
- Build 22623.875: Features are being systematically rolled out.
- Build 22621.875: New features are off by default.
Note: Insiders on Build 22622 will be automatically moved to Build 22623 via an enablement package. This system is exclusive to the Beta Channel to distinctly mark devices with featured updates turned on.
### New Features and Improvements
#### Tablet-Optimized Taskbar
- Now available to all Beta Channel Insiders.
- System Tray improvements, including drag and drop, continue to roll out.
#### Taskbar Enhancements
- Task Manager is now accessible in the context menu when right-clicking on the taskbar for all Beta Channel Insiders.
## Fixes in Build 22623.875
### Taskbar
- Enabled swiping up from the taskbar with a pen to expand the tablet-optimized taskbar.
### System Tray Updates
- The show hidden icons panel no longer obstructs context menus.
## Fixes for Both Builds 22621.875 & 22623.875
- Enhanced the backup experience via Microsoft Account (MSA) for a select audience.
- Resolved issues affecting SSL and TLS connection handshakes, producing errors like “SEC_E_ILLEGAL_MESSAGE”.
- Adjusted the end of daylight saving time in Jordan to permanently shift to UTC + 3.
- Fixed transparency issues in layered windows when using RAIL mode.
## Known Issues and Concerns
### General
- Reports of audio issues in recent Beta Channel builds are under investigation.
### Tablet-Optimized Taskbar
- Flashes during transitions between desktop and tablet posture.
- Delays in switching to the touch-optimized version.
- Sticky taskbar state when using the bottom right edge gesture for Quick Settings.
## Beta Channel Insights
The Beta Channel previews features closer to potential general releases, though not every feature tested will launch. For deeper insights, refer to our Inside Windows 11 website and our Windows Insider Program documentation.
Stay updated with the Flight Hub for the latest Insider builds.
