Insider Windows 11 Insider Beta Build 22621.1 (ni_release) Version 22H2 - May 11


  • Staff
UPDATE 6/9:

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22621 to the Beta Channel.

TL;DR

  • We are releasing ISOs for this build – they can be downloaded here.
  • This build includes a small set of fixes that will improve the overall experience for Windows Insiders on their devices.

Changes and Improvements

[General]
  • [REMINDER] The build watermark at the lower right-hand corner of the desktop is no longer present in this build. This doesn’t mean we’re done, and the watermark will return to Insiders in a future build.

Fixes

[General]

  • Updated the underlying speech platform to improve voice activity detection for voice access, live captions, and voice typing, as well as address some issues with how punctuation is recognized.

[File Explorer]

  • Fixed an issue leading to Insiders seeing error 0x800703E6 when copying files from Google Drive.
  • Fixed an issue where if you had ever opened the context menu, doing CTRL + ALT + DEL and cancelling would lead to explorer.exe crashing.

[Taskbar]

  • Fixed an issue related to loading the system tray icons in Settings > Personalization > Taskbar which could cause Settings to crash when opening that page recently. This issue may have also led to some explorer.exe crashes for impacted Insiders.

[Windows Security]

  • Fixed an issue which could result in Smart App Control unexpectedly blocking correctly signed applications.

Known issues

[Live captions]

  • Certain apps in full screen (e.g., video players) prevent live captions from being visible.
  • Certain apps positioned near the top of the screen and closed before live captions is run will re-launch behind the live captions window positioned at top. Use the system menu (ALT + Spacebar) while the app has focus to move the app’s window further down.

For developers

You can download the latest Windows Insider SDK at aka.ms/windowsinsidersdk.

SDK NuGet packages are now also flighting at NuGet Gallery | WindowsSDK which include:
These NuGet packages provide more granular access to the SDK and better integrate in CI/CD pipelines.

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. However, this does not mean every feature we try out in the Beta Channel will ship. We encourage Insiders to read this blog post from last month that outlines the ways we’ll try things out with Insiders in both the Dev and Beta Channels.

The desktop watermark you see at the lower right corner of your desktop is normal for these pre-release builds.

Thanks,

With this version,
I can say that this is the first time that I have upgraded via the upgrade method using ISO and I have never had issues with my One Drive access after upgrade. Rolling back, forward what have you, nothing no issues at all. I don't know what this build is different (same issue Dev build) but all my One drive files are inaccessible (only after reboot). Even if I image back to 708, I still loose access to files in OneDrive folder.

I am trying to find what is going on. Storage sense is disabled so that has nothing to do with it. This must be a new setting that is breaking links.

I'll keep digging. :rolleyes:

Back to 22000.708. I believe that I would have needed a clean install to resolve the problem (and other minor issues). I've been through that before, installing a prerelease version as an upgrade over a release build. I wasn't prepared at this time to spend a few hours restoring the syetem after a clean install.

I guess I feel the need to waste time.

Windows Memory Diagnostic appears to run OK on my laptop under 22621.

I tried a clean install of 22621 on my primary desktop. (After imaging the OS drive.) After the initial installation, I tried Windows Memory Diagnostic again. Still no go. I suppose that I should have taken a shot of it with a camera, but I did not. If it's a driver issue, the drivers are installed with Windows. I installed nothing else after the initial setup.

The two desktop machines are dissimilar (Intel and AMD), but each has 64GB of RAM. I think the laptop has 8GB.

Pfui.

This is under 22621.4, but 22621.1 was the same:

An F1 press gives a blank blue screen, same color as this.

Guys I ran the original 22621.1 installer and it upgraded me to 22621.4 without having to do anything extra.
