In this article, we will talk about the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build for the Beta Channel, which is Build 22635.3566.

Microsoft is making some changes to the Beta Channel:

  • They will no longer release 2 different builds for the Beta Channel, and everyone will now be on the same build
  • Insiders who want all the new features will need to toggle on the get the latest updates as they are available setting in Windows Update
  • Features will be tested in 2 different ways: new features, improvements, and fixes that are being gradually rolled out for Insiders who have turned ON the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available and then new features, improvements, and fixes gradually rolling out to everyone in the Beta Channel. 

Taskbar and System Tray

Microsoft is now showing the “show desktop” button by default and users can still manage this by right-clicking on the taskbar and choosing “Taskbar settings” (which opens Settings > Personalization > Taskbar directly).

File Explorer

Dragging-and-dropping files with your mouse between breadcrumbs in the File Explorer Address Bar that began rolling out with Build 22635.3420 is now available to all Insiders in the Beta Channel.

Start Menu

The All Apps Section in the Start Menu has received some more improvements and also the addition of folders in the Section.

Create Archives in Windows 11

Despite being a Windows 11 24H2 Feature, Microsoft is testing the ability to create Arhives with more formats in the Beta Channel.

New Copilot Option

Inside the Settings App, you will have the option to turn off Copilot opening up on Hover.
