New Windows 11 Update for Insiders: Build 22631.6132
Microsoft has begun distributing an update specifically for Windows 11 Insiders participating in the Release Preview channel. This latest update, Build 22631.6132 (KB5067112), focuses on addressing various issues related to input, networking, shell features, and storage for users still operating on Windows 11 version 23H2. Below is a detailed breakdown of the enhancements and fixes included in this build:
Changelog Highlights
- Input Fixes: The update rectifies a problem with the touch keyboard, which failed to input characters into text fields after a device resumed from sleep mode. Even though the animations for the touch keyboard were functioning, key presses often went unregistered, notably affecting password entry on the sign-in screen.
- Networking Fixes: An important fix addresses a glitch where external virtual switches would lose their physical network interface card (NIC) bindings, reverting to internal switches after a host restart. This issue was linked to the incorrect identification of orphaned virtual switch objects during the initialization of Host Network Service, leading to disruptions in network connectivity.
- Shell Enhancements: The update introduces the Personalized Offers feature as part of the device setup process within the Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE).Users can also access this feature in Settings once they reach their desktop.
Important Notice for Users on Version 23H2
As a reminder, Windows 11 version 23H2 is nearing the end of its support period, with Microsoft set to cease updates for this version in November. This presents an opportune moment for users to transition to a more current release, such as version 24H2 or the newly launched version 25H2. The latter is now accessible to a wider user base.
What’s New in Version 25H2?
The latest build includes significant changes, such as a revamped Start menu and enhancements to File Explorer, among other improvements. These features are projected to be available in the stable channel in the coming weeks. For further details on these updates, you can visit the official announcement blog.
