Microsoft has released its new Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.4440 (KB5045889) aimed at Beta Channel users, in its continuous effort to improve the security and user experience of its operating system. This release is part of a gradual implementation strategy that aims to introduce new features, enhancements, and fixes that will be available to those users who have opted to receive updates as they are developed.
Among the most notable innovations is a significant update to Windows Hello, the native authentication tool of Windows. This update aligns with the contemporary design standards of the operating system, seeking a more intuitive and seamless authentication experience. The new visual elements of Windows Hello have been designed to facilitate quick and effective communication and will be visible not only on the login screen but also in other authentication flows, including passwords and accesses to the Microsoft Store.
In addition to the new visual design, the handling of Windows security credentials has also been revamped. The new experience allows for a smoother transition between various authentication options and a more informed selection of passwords and devices. This improvement will also extend to a new protection feature for administrators that will be released with the 24H2 version of Windows 11 and later, currently in preview with Windows Insiders in the Canary Channel.
The update offered by Microsoft is not limited to Windows Hello. It also incorporates various general improvements and bug fixes that optimize the overall experience for members of the Beta Channel. However, some features such as the new design of the gamepad keyboard have been temporarily disabled to address certain issues, and are expected to return in future updates.
For Beta Channel users who wish to receive these updates immediately, it is possible to activate the option to receive them in the operating system Settings section. Microsoft emphasizes the importance of user feedback in this process, encouraging them to send their comments through the Feedback Hub to refine the new functionalities.
Furthermore, it is reminded that some of these developing features may not be fully localized initially, and translations will be implemented once the functions are finalized. Users have the option to report localization issues for resolution.
Microsoft continues to develop functions in parallel for the Dev and Beta channels, which may occasionally result in some innovations appearing first in the Beta Channel. For a comprehensive overview of the versions available in each Insider channel, users are invited to consult the Flight Hub. The company is committed to continuous innovation in Windows 11, based on the feedback and analysis provided by Insider users.
