Yesterday afternoon a new Build of the Windows Insider program arrived on the Beta channel. Few news but some very interesting that come to this channel, a prelude to what will reach all users. Let’s see what’s new.
- Build 22631.2271 = New features enabled by default.
- Build 22621.2271 = New features disabled by default.
REMINDER: Insiders who were previously on Build 22624 will automatically be moved to Build 22631 via an enablement package. The activation package artificially increases the build number of the update with new features being deployed and activated to make it easier to tell them apart from devices with the update having the features turned 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 rollout.
