Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22621.1537 and Build 22624.1537 (KB5022910) to the beta channel.

• Build 22624.1537 = Rolling new features.
• Build 22621.1537 = New features are off by default.

The new release brings the Bing Chat search button to the taskbar, fixes a BitLocker CSV issue, and includes many other bug fixes and improvements. Here is the full list of changes and improvements, as well as bug fixes in the new beta version:

What’s new in Build 22624.1537

Access keys in File Explorer

We’re adding access key shortcuts to the XAML context menu in File Explorer. An access key is a one-click shortcut that allows the keyboard user to quickly execute a command in the context menu. Each access key will correspond with a letter in the display name. This is part of our effort to make File Explorer more accessible. To try this, you can right-click a file in File Explorer and click Menu key on your keyboard.

[We are beginning to roll this out, so the experience isn’t available to all Insiders in the Beta Channel just yet as we plan to monitor feedback and see how it lands before pushing it out to everyone.]

Create a live kernel memory dump in task manager

We’re introducing a set of new developer-focused features in Task Manager to help collect Live Kernel Memory Dumps (LKDs). This is in addition to the existing “memory pool” for user mode processes. The purpose of a live kernel dump is to collect data to troubleshoot abnormal conditions but allow the operating system to continue running. This reduces downtime compared to debugging for “non-fatal” but high-impact failures and crashes. knock Here Learn more about live core injections.

To capture Live Kernel Memory (LKD), go to the Details page in Task Manager, right-click editorial board The process and context menu should light up to show “Create a live kernel memory dump file” To capture a full live kernel or kernel memory stack.

The dumps will be written to a fixed location:

%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\TaskManager\LiveKernelDumps

You can also go to the task manager settings page to view/edit the settings for live kernel memory dump.

Content Adaptive Brightness Control (CABC) on connected devices including desktop computers

Content-adjusted brightness control (CABC) is already a feature that users are familiar with. This feature in Windows 11 will dim or brighten areas of a display or monitor based on the content being displayed to balance reduced power consumption with a visual experience to save battery life. Starting with this build, we enable this feature to work on devices such as laptops and 2-in-1s that are connected to a charger, as well as desktop computers. For most users, this change will not be noticeable and should reduce energy consumption.

This feature can be adjusted via Settings > System > Display under “Brightness and Color” and via a drop-down menu with 3 options: off, always and “on battery only”. For battery-powered devices such as laptops and 2-in-1s, the default is “on battery only”. On desktop computers, this is off by default. We internally encourage all laptops, 2-in1s and desktops to try the “always” option and give us feedback on CABC’s visual quality so we can ensure it’s tuned properly.

known problems

[Search on the Taskbar]

• If you have the Bing button in the search box on the taskbar and you reboot your computer, you may see the rotating daily search highlight for a while before you get the Bing button back.

[Live captions]

• On Arm64 devices, improved speech recognition support installed via the language and region settings page will require live subtitles to be restarted if you switch languages ​​in the live subtitle language menu.
• Some languages ​​shown on the Language and Region Settings page will indicate support for speech recognition (eg, Korean), but do not yet have support for live captions.
• When adding a language through the language and region settings page, the installation progress of the language feature may be hidden, and you may not see the completion of the installation of “Enhanced Speech Recognition” (required by Live Captions). (You can use the language’s “Language Options” to track progress.) If this happens, there may be an unexpected delay before the live captioning experience detects it and allows you to continue.
• Subtitle performance may degrade in languages ​​other than English and out-of-language filtering is lacking in languages ​​other than English (United States), which means incorrect subtitles will be displayed for speech not in the subtitle language.
