Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22621.1465 and 22624.1465 Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22621.1465 and Build 22624.1465 (KB5023775) to the Beta Channel. Build 22624.1465 = New features rolling out. Build 22621.1465 = New features off by default. REMINDER: Insiders who were previously on Build 22623 will automatically get moved to Build 22624 via an enablement package.

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 [ more… ]

A growing number of apps are being built using an open technology stack based solely on web standards. These apps, or PWAs, can be installed from both the Microsoft Edge browser and the Microsoft Store. Once they are installed, they integrate with the operating system using advanced web capabilities that enable expected behaviours around sharing, file handling, and even UI refinements.
