UPDATE 10/15: Windows 11 Insider Preview Beta and Release Preview Build 22000.282 - Oct. 15

UPDATE 9/23: We are making Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22000.194 available as an optional update for any Windows Insider on an eligible PC in the Release Preview Channel. We have also made the ISOs available for Build 22000.194 to download here.


Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22000.194 offered as an optional update in Release Preview.

Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22000.194 offered as an optional update in Release Preview.

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22000.194 to the Beta Channel and commercial PCs in the Release Preview Channel.

App updates

We are beginning to rollout updates for several apps that come included as part of Windows 11 to Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel. Today’s rollout includes the following app updates: Snipping Tool, Calculator, and Clock with Focus Sessions! Check for updates in the Store and try these apps out and let us know what you think!



Fixes

  • Addressed an issue where if you enable then disable a contrast theme, it would lead to artifacts in title bars, in some cases making the minimize/maximize/close buttons hard to see and use.
  • Fixed a crash with certain connected devices that could result in not being able to use Bluetooth.
  • Mitigated an issue that was resulting in subtitles not appearing when expected in certain apps, particularly Japanese language subtitles.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing certain PCs to bugcheck during modern standby.
  • Mitigated an issue when typing with certain 3rd party IMEs into the search box in Settings that could result in the candidate window being rendered elsewhere on-screen (not attached to the search box) and/or characters inserted into the search box not displaying.
  • We fixed an issue that causes PowerShell to create an infinite number of child directories. This issue occurs when you use the PowerShell Move-Item command to move a directory to one of its children. As a result, the volume fills up and the system stops responding.
  • This build includes a change that aligns the enforcement of the Windows 11 system requirements on Virtual Machines (VMs) to be the same as it is for physical PCs. Previously created VMs running Insider Preview builds may not update to the latest preview builds. In Hyper-V, VMs need to be created as a Generation 2 VM. For more details on the Windows 11 system requirements – see this blog post here.

Known issues

[General]
  • We’re investigating reports from Insiders in the Beta Channel where after upgrading to Windows 11, they are not seeing the new Taskbar and the Start menu doesn’t work. To workaround this if you are impacted, please try going to Windows Update > Update history, uninstalling the latest cumulative update for Windows, and the reinstall it by checking for updates.
  • We’re working on a fix for an issue that is causing some Surface Pro X’s to bugcheck with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR.
[Start]
  • In some cases, you might be unable to enter text when using Search from Start or the Taskbar. If you experience the issue, press WIN + R on the keyboard to launch the Run dialog box, then close it.
  • System and Windows Terminal is missing when right-clicking on the Start button (WIN + X).
[Taskbar]
  • The Taskbar will sometimes flicker when switching input methods.
[Search]
  • After clicking the Search icon on the Taskbar, the Search panel may not open. If this occurs, restart the “Windows Explorer” process, and open the search panel again.
  • Search panel might appear as black and not display any content below the search box.
[Widgets]
  • The widgets board may appear empty. To work around the issue, you can sign out and then sign back in again.
  • Widgets may be displayed in the wrong size on external monitors. If you encounter this, you can launch the widgets via touch or WIN + W shortcut on your actual PC display first and then launch on your secondary monitors.
[Microsoft Store]
  • We continue to work to improve search relevance in the Store.
[Windows Sandbox]
  • Within Windows Sandbox, the language input switcher does not launch after clicking the switcher icon on the Taskbar. As a workaround, users can switch their input language via any of the following hardware keyboard shortcuts: Alt + Shift, Ctrl + Shift, or Win + Space (the third option is available only if Sandbox is full-screened).
  • Within Windows Sandbox, the IME context menu does not launch after clicking the IME icon in the Taskbar. As workarounds, users can access the functionalities of the IME context menu with either of following methods:
    • Accessing the IME settings via Settings > Time & language > Language & region > (e.g., Japanese) three dots > Language options > (e.g., Microsoft IME) three dots > Keyboard options.
      • Optionally, you may also enable the IME toolbar, an alternative UI, to quickly invoke specific IME functions. Continuing from above, navigate to Keyboard options > Appearance > Use IME toolbar.
    • Using the unique set of hardware keyboard shortcuts associated with each IME-supported language. (See: Japanese IME Shortcuts, Traditional Chinese IME Shortcuts).

I think you are correct. The auto BIOS update is a feature from HP. I wonder how many other OEM devices will be automatically updating the BIOS's?
I wish more would but I don't really know. Since mine is a DYI it's on me to do all of the updates.

My two desktops are in the category of the DIY computers. They were assembled by PowerSpec from third party hardware and sold by Micro Center. Kind of like what I use to buy at the computer shows only they spec out what gets installed.

I set this up last night, and it works great. All I did was run MiniTool Partition Wizard to carve off 100GB from my Win10 installation, then booted from a USB stick and installed from there. Now I see both options when I boot.

One caveat: For me, anyway, changing the disk size of my Win10 installation caused two programs to get their licenses deactivated, so make sure you have any license keys and order numbers handy. I was surprised changing only the disk size would cause that on any software, but it did.

I really intend to do the same once Win 11 is officially released on October 5, 2021 (probably one or two weeks later) with the difference that I will use EaseUS Partition Manager instead of MiniTool Partition Wizard.

With regard to Apps' licenses being deactivated, fear not. I have my product keys written, or should I say, saved somewhere and on top of that MR is always at work every day for both of my machines, meaning I always have a recent system image backup ready whenever things go south. I should also mention that one of the machines doesn't pass muster as far as the PC Health Check is concerned.

Thx anyhow for the advice. :)

I forgot to add: My very first PowerSpec desktop didn't have any OS installed. It came with two install disk. One was Windows 7 Pro and the second one was Windows 10 Pro. I still have the disk but I lost or threw away the install keys.

I will be doing a clean install with the official ISO is released. There is one tax software program that will need a new license key as the old one will not work. Just moving the directory where it stores data causes it to go unregistered. Developers have done all sorts of crazy thing to try and enforce licenses/registrations.

The Beta Channel is never beyond the next release version, unlike the Dev Channel which is always beyond the latest official release version.

The Beta release number will converge with the release version number ultimately.
That's good to know. Read that the RTM of Windows 11 will be 22000.194.

Dell does it too, atleast on my Dell XPS 15 9570 notebook but in the bios, just turn the "Firmware Capsule Updates" setting off and it will not update.

I'd think they'd want some quick feedback just to make sure there's no show shopper with the RC before handing it off to manufacturing. I've seen a post above saying they read 2000.194 is the RTM. Can anyone confirm?

They likely turned a version over to MFG's by now. The feedback they've received from the insider program is enough for now.
