What’s new with builds 22621.436 and 22622.436 (KB5015888)?
As Microsoft specified in the officialblog post, today we are receiving Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22621.436 and Build 22622.436 (KB5015888)to the Beta Channel.
Keep in mind that Insiders who landed in the group with new features turned off by default (Build 22621.xxxx) can check for updates and choose to install the update that will have features rolling out (Build 22622.xxx).
Not to mention that the Redmond tech giant is also kicking off aBug Bashfor the Beta Channel starting tomorrow, so there’s a lot going on.
We’re about to go more in-depth and check out each individual of the above-mentioned builds, discovering all of the improvements, fixes, and known issues that come packaged.
Windows 11 Build 22622.436
We’re going to start with the fact that the discovery of devices under nearby share when sharing a local file from the desktop, File Explorer, Photos, Snipping Tool, Xbox, and other apps that use the built-in Windows share window has been enhanced by using UDP (Network needs to be set to private).
Bluetooth has also been added, to discover nearby devices, which means you will now be able to discover and share to more devices including desktop PCs.
Also, when sharing a local file from the above-mentioned sources that use the built-in Windows share window, you can choose OneDrive as a target to directly upload the file to OneDrive and share it further along with access control options.
Know that absolutely all this can be done right from sharing local files in File Explorer without any context switches or opening the OneDrive app.
