Insider KB5022364 Windows 11 Insider Beta Build 22621.1095 and 22623.1095 - Jan. 5


  • Staff
UPDATE 1/19:


Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22621.1095 and Build 22623.1095 (KB5022364) to the Beta Channel.
  • Build 22623.1095 = New features rolling out.
  • Build 22621.1095 = New features off by default.

KB5018863 Enablement Package for Windows 11 22H2 build 22623.xxx


REMINDER: Insiders who were previously on Build 22622 will automatically get moved to Build 22623 via an enablement package. The enablement package artificially increments the build number for the update with new features getting rolled out and turned on to make it easier to differentiate from devices with the update with features off by default. This approach is being used for the Beta Channel only and is not indicative of any changes or plans for final feature rollouts.

Insiders who landed in the group with new features turned off by default (Build 22621.xxxx) can check for updates and choose to install the update that will have features rolling out (Build 22623.xxx).

Changes and Improvements in Build 22621.1095 & 22623.1095

[Start]

  • The search box design in the Start menu has been updated with more rounded corners to reflect the design of the search box on the taskbar.

Design of search box on the Start menu has more rounded corners.
Design of search box on the Start menu has more rounded corners.

Changes and Improvements in Build 22623.1095

[General]

  • Moved Quick Assist out of Windows Tools so it displays directly in the Start menu’s All apps list and is easier to find.

Fixes in Build 22623.1095

[Taskbar & System Tray]

  • Fixed a couple issues which could result in the top half of the taskbar getting clipped.

[Start]

  • Fixed an issue where the uninstall app dialog might not display correctly in the Start menu in certain cases, making the buttons inaccessible.

[Task Manager]

  • Fixed an issue causing filtering by publisher name to not match correctly on the Processes page.
  • Fixed an issue causing some services to not show in the Services page after filtering is applied.
  • Fixed an issue which resulted in new processes appearing in a filtered list if launched while a filter is set.
  • We fixed the issue where some dialogs were not rendering in the correct theme when applied from Task Manager Settings page.
  • The issue causing the data content area of the Processes page to flash once when theme changes are applied in the Task Manager Settings page is fixed.
  • The Startup apps page in Task manager will now list apps as expected.
  • Fixed an issue which could cause a black flash when opening Task Manager.
  • If there are no matching search results, Task Manager will now explicitly say that.
  • Fixed a Task Manager crash that could happen when attempting to end certain processes.
  • You can now set focus to the search box by pressing CTRL + F.

Fixes for BOTH Build 22621.1095 & Build 22623.1095

[Search on the Taskbar]

The following known issues only apply for Windows Insiders who received one of the different treatments for how search looks on the taskbar as mentioned here this blog post:
  • We’ve made improvements to reliability to fix some crashes and the performance of animations and transitions.
  • We fixed the issue causing the search box on taskbar to not render correctly and display visual artifacts.
  • We fixed the issue causing layout issues with right-to-left display languages like Arabic.

[Other fixes]

  • New! We changed the experience for preview .NET Framework updates. After you installed this update, all future preview (optional) .NET Framework updates would display on the Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Optional updates On that page, you could control which optional updates you wanted to install.

  • We fixed an issue that affected Windows Server 2022 domain controllers (DC). They stopped responding when they handled Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) requests.
  • We fixed an issue that might have occurred when the Input Method Editor (IME) was active. Applications might have stopped responding when you used the mouse and keyboard at the same time.
  • We fixed an issue that affected exe. It stopped responding.
  • We fixed an issue that affected how fast you could copy items from a network to a local computer. For some users, the copy speed was slower than expected.
  • We fixed an issue that affected certain systems that had firmware Trusted Platform Modules. (TPM). This issue stopped you from using AutoPilot to set up those systems.
  • We fixed a resource conflict issue between two or more threads (known as a deadlock). This deadlock affected COM+ applications.
  • We fixed an issue that affected devices that were subject to Microsoft Exploit Protection Export Address Filtering (EAF). Some applications stopped responding or did not open. These included Microsoft Office and Adobe Reader.
  • We fixed an issue that affected exe. It randomly stopped you from signing in or signing out.
  • We fixed an issue that might have occurred when you converted or reconverted Japanese Kanji using a multibyte character set (MBCS) app. The cursor might have moved to the wrong location when you typed.
  • We fixed an issue that affected exe. It stopped responding while connecting to a RemoteApp and Desktop Connection.
  • We fixed an issue that might have affected FindWindow() or FindWindowEx(). They might have returned the wrong window handle.
  • We fixed an issue that affected picture files you found using search on the taskbar. This issue stopped you from opening those pictures.

About the Beta Channel

The Beta Channel will be the place we preview experiences that are closer to what we will ship to our general customers. Because the Dev and Beta Channels represent parallel development paths from our engineers, there may be cases where features and experiences show up in the Beta Channel first. However, this does not mean every feature we try out in the Beta Channel will ship. We encourage Insiders to read this blog post that outlines the ways we’ll try things out with Insiders in both the Dev and Beta Channels.

    With all this gaming rig I am not a gamer!
Don't think I really have a preference on the rounded vs square search window but out of curiosity do you have rounded and did you get a .Net Framework update? My last Net update was Dec 13.
As far I remember had the same issue when the Search button got it's new rounded style with the drawing. I didn't get the new style but with a .net framework update it was refreshed

Downloaded and installed quickly (for my connection). No problems as yet. Startup in Task Manager is working again and I have the too rounded search box. It's not a big deal but the shape doesn't go with the rest of the interface. The rectangle with rounded corners is a better fit.

Got it today, only took a few minutes, so far so good.
My search box is rounded now, but I cannot remember what shape it was before this update. Unfortunately much too much effort is put into making things look better to impress the bosses and less to the hidden improvments.

Correction: the search box has now got rounded ends, the old style may have had flat ends with the corners rounded off.

My search box in Start menu is still rectangular. And I really don't care what shape it is, as long as it does what it is intended to do. 😄

I was wondering why my search box is still rectangular. The reason is I use Start11. If you're using something that manipulates your start menu, there's a chance your search box will be rectangular. Of course, as long as it searches, I'm not concerned what shape it is, either.

I don't use any third party program for my start menu and mine is still rectangular not that it matters. It might change on it's own after a few reboots or something as other new changes have done in the past. Guess time will tell. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I use StartallBack to position the taskbar at the top of the screen...search box corners are rounded, 22623.1095. I'm quite unsure why this is supposed to be a feature...:wink:...but there it is... Personally, squared or rounded, it's all the same to me.

    Sweet, trouble-free system! How I love this 6900XT! Exceeds my expectations by quite a bit, btw.
As for some people having square corners and some round, I wonder if it is because of the 22621... and 22623.... , my build is 22623.... and corners are rounded for me.

We fixed an issue that affected how fast you could copy items from a network to a local computer. For some users, the copy speed was slower than expected.

at least MS has finally addressed this copy performance slowdown problem that occurred since early Oct. 2022
