Microsoft announces Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.3140 (Beta Channel)

Microsoft announced Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.3140 (KB5034851) to the Beta Channel; many changes, improvements, and fixes will be introduced. Here are the changes you will see:

Copilot in Windows

To enhance the accessibility of Copilot in Windows, Microsoft has relocated its icon to the right side of the system tray on the taskbar.

Also, the Show Desktop option, which is present in the far-right corner of the taskbar, will be turned off by default.

Start menu

In the Start menu, recently added apps will be grouped into a folder under the Recommended section, but the feature is being rolled out to select Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel.

Furthermore, people with Microsoft Entra ID accounts logged into Windows 11 Pro or Enterprise editions can now view and join upcoming Microsoft Teams meetings directly from the Start Menu.

The next upcoming online Teams meeting will come up as a Recommended item five minutes before it begins, and you can click the meeting recommendation to open the join meeting flow in Teams.

Microsoft also informed that from now on, the Redmond giant will categorize changes in Beta Channel builds into two buckets: features, improvements, and fixes slowly rolled out for those who have turned on the feature to get the latest updates, then new features, improvements, and fixes available to everyone in the Beta Channel.

Another thing that Microsoft stressed was that the updates & features rolled out with this build will not be available to all the Insider in the Beta Channel instantly.
