Windows 11 Build 10.0.22489.1000 Insider Preview
Microsoft has just released a new update for Windows 11 only for Dev Channel Insiders, stamped: 10.0.22489.1000 RS_PRERELEASE.
What's new in version 22489
Your Microsoft account setup page
We're starting to roll out a new entry point for “Your Microsoft Account” under Settings> Account. Clicking on this new entry point takes you to a new settings page that displays information about your Microsoft account, including your subscriptions for Microsoft 365, links to order history, payment details, and Microsoft. Rewards. This allows you to access your Microsoft account right in the settings of Windows 11. We're starting this rollout to a very small set of Insiders at first, and then we'll increase it over time.
Changes and Improvements
. We added support for Designated Resolver Discovery which allows Windows to discover the encrypted DNS configuration from a DNS resolver known only by its IP address. See this blog post for more details.
. To improve consistency, we are updating the name of the Connect app to now “Wireless Display”. This app is a feature on demand (FOD) and can be enabled by going to Settings> Apps> Optional features> Add optional feature.
. We divide “Apps and Features” in Settings into two pages under Apps, “Installed Apps” and “Advanced App Settings”.
. In case you missed it last week, just a reminder that Windows Sandbox now works on ARM64 PCs!
Fixes
[Taskbar]
. Application icons on secondary monitors should now display more reliably instead of being blank.
. Stopped an explorer.exe crash that sometimes occurred when using the context menu of the Desktops context menu.
. Fixed an explorer.exe crash that sometimes occurred when closing the Desktops drop-down menu.
[File Explorer]
. Pin to Quick Access is now a top-level option when right-clicking a drive in File Explorer.
. We have improved the performance of launching the context menu.
. Some fixes have been made to improve the reliability of explorer.exe when using File Explorer.
[Window]
. Closing windows in task view should feel less nervous now.

[Settings]

. Fixed a settings crash when trying to customize options in wheel settings.
. If animations are disabled, rejecting a notification using the X will no longer have an animation.

. The tooltip for the Wi-Fi option in quick settings should no longer fly at the top of the screen.
[Other]
. Addressed an underlying issue that caused the Processes tab in Task Manager to sometimes be blank. It is also believed to be the same cause that caused UAC to open very slowly recently.
. Addresses an issue with installing Xbox Game Pass games with error 0x00000001.
. Fixed an issue where get-winevent in PowerShell would fail with an InvalidOperationException (issue # 60740).

. I have been working to try to improve the layout of the text in the notification buttons in cases where there is both icon and text.
. The Get Started app will no longer crash if the Tips app has been uninstalled.
. Fixed an issue causing some devices to be checked for bugs with SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCPTION when updating from previous versions.
. Made an underlying change to help resolve an issue causing some users to display an unexpected "bad image" error message on startup.
NOTE: Some fixes noted here in the Insider Preview builds of the active development branch may be found in the maintenance updates for the released version of Windows 11 which became generally available on October 5.
Known issues
[General]
. In this release, you'll notice links to Windows Update, Recovery, and For Developers under the main Windows Update settings page. You will need to click Windows Update a second time to check for updates. Recovery and For developers links should not appear under Windows Update in settings. These issues will be fixed in a future release.
. Users who update from versions 22000.xxx or earlier to newer Dev Channel versions using the latest Dev Channel ISO may receive the following warning message: The version that you are trying to install is signed by theft. To continue the installation, activate the flight signature. If you receive this message, press the Activate button, restart the PC and try the update again.
. Some users may see their screen and sleep times reduced. We are investigating the potential impact that shorter screen and sleep times could have on power consumption.
[Start]
. In some cases, you may not be able to enter text when using search from top or taskbar. If you have the problem, press WIN + R on the keyboard to launch the Run dialog box and then close it.
[File Explorer]
. Trying to rename items on the desktop does not work properly in this version. It should work if you open File Explorer, navigate to the Desktop folder, and try to rename from there.
[Taskbar]
. The taskbar will sometimes blink when changing the input method.
. We are working on a fix for an issue causing ToolTips to appear in an unexpected location after hovering over the corner of the taskbar.
[To look for]
. After clicking the Search icon on the taskbar, the Search panel may not open. If this happens, restart the "Windows Explorer" process and reopen the search panel.
[Quick settings]
. We are investigating reports from Insiders that the volume and brightness sliders do not display correctly in Quick Settings.
