UPDATE 9/9: KB5005642 Windows 11 Insider Preview Beta Build 22000.184 - Sept. 9

UPDATE 7:10PM PDT: Recently, Windows Insiders in both the Dev and Beta Channels began reporting that Start and Taskbar were unresponsive and Settings and other areas of the OS wouldn’t load. We quickly discovered an issue with a server-side deployment that went out to Insiders and canceled that deployment. If you were impacted by this issue, you can use the following steps to get back into a working state on your PC.
  • Step 1: Use CTRL-ALT-DEL and choose to open Task Manager.
  • Step 2: Choose “More details” at the bottom of Task Manager to expand Task Manager.
  • Step 3: Go to “File” and choose “Run new task”.
  • Step 4: Type “cmd” in the “Open” field.
  • Step 5: Paste the following: reg delete HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\IrisService /f && shutdown -r -t 0
  • Step 6: Hit enter, and then your PC should reboot. After rebooting, everything should be back to normal.
Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22000.176 to the Beta Channel!

We are also making Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22000.176 available to commercial PCs in the Release Preview Channel. Please see this blog post for all the details.

Changes and Improvements​

  • People want to get closer to the things they love, faster. This is why commonly used experiences like Search, Task View, Widgets and Chat are pinned to the Taskbar in Windows 11. To manage which of these icons are pinned to the Taskbar in one place, simply right-click on the Taskbar and select “Taskbar settings” to open the Taskbar Settings page and choose which system icon to hide. If you hid any of these system icons previously and want to unhide them – you can do this via the Taskbar Settings page.
Simply right-click on the Taskbar and choose “Taskbar settings” to choose which system icons appear.
Simply right-click on the Taskbar and choose “Taskbar settings” to choose which system icons appear.

Fixes​


[General]
  • We fixed an issue with paired Bluetooth LE devices that was causing an increase in Bluetooth reliability issues and bugchecks after resume from hibernate or when Bluetooth was turned off.
  • We mitigated an issue that was resulting some users hitting in an unexpected error when trying to take pictures with certain USB cameras.
  • When setting up Windows Hello in OOBE, we’ve added a new link to learn more about Windows Hello.
[Chat from Microsoft Teams]
  • Arabic and Hebrew languages will now allow changing Teams Settings.
  • We fixed the issue where if you were making an outgoing call, there was no ring tone, but the user interface would show that the call is getting connected.
[Microsoft Store]

The following issues were fixed in the most recent Store updates:
  • We fixed the issue where the install button might not be functional in limited scenarios.
  • We also fixed an issue where rating and reviews were not available for some apps.

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 devices to bug check 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 > <each IME language> (e.g. Japanese) three dots > Language options > <each IME> (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).
[Localization]
  • There is an issue where some Insiders may be some missing translations from their user experience for a small subset of languages running the latest Insider Preview builds. To confirm if you have been impacted, please visit this Answers forum post and follow the steps for remediation.

Microsoft Store​

We are rolling out an update for Store (version 22108.1401.11.0) to Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel that includes the following improvements:
  • A complete visual overhaul of the Library UI, with simpler navigation and better performance to boot.
The new visual overhaul of the Library page in the Microsoft Store.
The new visual overhaul of the Library page in the Microsoft Store.
  • We updated our Spotlight design for promoted products in the Microsoft Store app. Hover over an option to get a sneak peak of what’s inside.

I wondered if their motive was to let a wider pool of hardware test Win11 and see if they could expand the list of approved devices. e.g. If 6th Gen Intel processors had a fair representation in the Insider Preview and nothing major happened, they could include them on the approved list. However, that would contradict my current belief that they want a minimum standard of security built into the hardware for nailing down security on Win11.

Just for fun, went into the insider settings on my P500 and set it to Beta - did get the warning about potentially being a buggy experience, but it didn't block the install.

Rebooted, and when it got to 98%, got a warning that "Windows could not be installed on this computer, reboot, try again later"

I rebooted, it came back up in Windows 11 - the install was successful, and everything so far is smooth. To this point, I've installed in 5 virtual machines, and 3 laptops for testing, but this is my production system. There were moments of anxiety, but now that I'm in Windows and everything is working properly, quite happy with the look, speed and stability. There are some small quirks, but no deal breakers - handles multiple monitors majestically.

My only real beef so far, and something I hadn't noticed on the other systems I was testing with, is when you click the sound/volume icon in the system tray, it no longer allows you to change sound output directly, you have to open settings and change it there. (I have a couple headsets, and sometimes use one for primary sound, sometimes use the desktop speakers, and it was handy to be able to switch between them without going into settings)

You're not the only one who thought that was the case... I did at first as well. I was about to let you know about that little arrow thing and then I watched the video in SlicEnDicE's and saw that he already got you set.

It's funny, I've been working with mostly windows computers in IT for over 20 years, and every so often I'll find something new and super useful that seems like it should have been obvious frequently, but none of my colleagues knew about either. Places like this, full of tech savvy people who are constantly digging in and trying things? SO useful.

I try to install Windows Sandbox and I got error when choosing run 22000.176. So I fix it. So I'll not try to install it on 22449.

BTW, I think 22449 should be RTM. The Taskbar loaded faster than 22000.176. I know it will not be.
MS probably will fix the slowing loaded Taskbar in 176.

It's funny, I've been working with mostly windows computers in IT for over 20 years, and every so often I'll find something new and super useful that seems like it should have been obvious frequently, but none of my colleagues knew about either. Places like this, full of tech savvy people who are constantly digging in and trying things? SO useful.

Yes, it is funny how that can be. I know I've learned a few things on these windows forums over the years.

I just let sandbox install today(had it uninstalled in 10 for a while, because I use a Hyper-v VM preferably with a useful Windows install to test).
But anyhow, no problems with sandbox

I haven't seen any problem with Taskbar in 22000.176 unlike the users mentioned this above en masse, but because my Taskbar since installation of Windows 11 is classic, thanks to "UndockingDisabled" tweak. And because it switches off the new Start menu, need to use an alternative (Open Shell in my case). However, Taskbar icons have to be added manually...

If you don't like this as a permanent solution, you may use it for a while, then tweak can be removed (replace 1 to 0 or delete the string) and "classic" Start menu may be removed from autorun. I tested this two builds ago (22000.160).
Click to expand...
The reason you didn't see the taskbar and startup menu problem is because you didn't do a time sync after something was pushed to your system. I changed my default time sync to every 60 minutes from the default of every 7 days which was why it happened to me even though I was still running 22000.168 at the time it happened.

Even if one happens to be able to run Win 11 on unsupported hardware and specs requirements, there won't be any security Updates and the system can get so buggy that at one point one will have to take the right course of action, i.e., get a new computer capable of running Win 11 seamlessly or stay on Win 10 until 2025.
Click to expand...
I think that's the whole point because unlike the old days as in pre 2010 era which is basically the new hardware will be way more advance than the software and newer software will slow down hardware to help each other, the hardware can handle the new releases of software and OSes just fine so the only way for people to get new hardware is if the OS has minimum requirements so you will have to buy new hardware to use it. Ofcourse the apps for the OSes can always update the minimum OS version required so if they say 11 is the minimum version then you will still have to buy newer versions of the app as you can't use the newer app versions without first needing a OS version upgrade which requires a upgrade in hardware.

Before I enabled the security on my system, I had a message from Microsoft saying that I couldn't upgrade to W11. Then after seeing about secure boot, TPM and bit locker and changing from beta channel to dev channel, I was immediately offered W11. I had been about to get hold of an ISO, but there was no need. I would think that Microsoft are well aware of who got W11 directly and who got an ISO. There will be many users who have approved system specs who didn't want to wait for the official upgrade date and who are also not insiders, they will probably be ok with updates, but those who don't have the minimum hardware might not. The ISO of W11 has obviously been obtained without Microsoft's approval.
