Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22621.741 and 22623.741 released

Today, Microsoft released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22621.741 and 22623.741, these two builds bring various fixes, improvements and optimizations for the Windows 11 devices running in the Beta channels. Check more information and details below.

• Build 22623.741 = New features rolling out.
• Build 22621.741 = New features off by default.

Notes:

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).

Fixes in Windows 11 Build 22623.741

[Tablet-optimized taskbar]

NOTE: These fixes will only show if the tablet-optimized taskbar is enabled on your device. The tablet-optimized taskbar is still rolling out to Windows Insiders and is not yet available for everyone.

• Fixed the issue causing the taskbar to sometimes collapse when it should be expanded if there are no running windows on the desktop.
• Fixed an issue that would occur when using the left or right edge gestures resulting in the Widgets or Notification Center (respectively) overlapping with or looking truncated by the taskbar.
• Fixed an issue that was causing the tablet-optimized taskbar to crash explorer.exe if you entered the overflow flyout.

[System Tray Updates]

NOTE: These fixes will only show if the tablet-optimized taskbar with System Tray updates is enabled on your device. Tablet-optimized taskbar and System Tray is still rolling out to Windows Insiders and are not yet available for everyone.
