A new update for Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel (Build 22635.xxxx) introduces several changes, including:
- The Windows share window now offers direct sharing of URLs to WhatsApp, Gmail, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and LinkedIn, simplifying the process for users of these platforms.
- There are some changes on the lock screen as well; the lock screen gains a more dynamic weather experience with animated updates and a direct link to the full MSN Weather forecast upon tapping. This feature is currently rolling out in English (US) only.
- References to Azure Active Directory (AAD) in Settings are gradually transitioning to Microsoft Entra ID.
- Other general fixes include improved overall reliability, spellchecking accuracy, and ActiveX scroll bar functionality in IE mode.
There are also some Microsoft Store enhancements:
- Users can now launch Instant Arcade games directly from browsing or search results, removing the need to wait for downloads.
- The Microsoft Store will send notifications when app installations are complete.
- Installation processes initiated from search or browsing are now smoother and faster thanks to animation optimizations.
Note: Some features, like the richer lock screen weather experience, are rolling out gradually and may not be available to all users immediately.
There is a significant update available on the Dev Channel.
