Windows 11 Insider Beta Channel Build 22635.4367 (KB5044373) adds new sharing features

Microsoft has released a new Windows 11 build for Windows Insider Program members who have signed up for Beta Channel releases. The latest build number is 22635.4367, under KB5044373. This appears to be a fairly small build release with a new feature related to direct sharing in apps and a number of bug fixes.

Microsoft also mentions that there are a small number of “general improvements and fixes,” but does not provide specific details about these changes made to this latest Beta Channel build.

Here is the changelog for Windows 11 Beta Channel Insider Build 22635.4367:

Changes and improvements will be gradually rolled out in the Beta channel when the option is enabled

[General]

This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes that improve the overall experience for Insiders running this build on their PCs.

[Windows Share]

We’re adding the ability to share directly with apps that support sharing in Windows by right-clicking local files in File Explorer or on the desktop.

Fixes will be rolled out gradually in the Beta channel when the option is enabled*

[Start menu]

Fixed an issue that caused some Insiders to potentially see unexpectedly large spaces between items in the All Apps list in the Start Menu.

[Live captions]

Fixed an issue causing Live Captions to crash on startup for some Insiders in the last two builds.

[Taskbar]

Fixed an issue where if you had multiple windows open for an app on your taskbar, pressing WIN + multiple times would not allow you to switch between windows, e.g. B. by pressing WIN + 1.

Fixed an issue for uncombined taskbar users where app icons would unexpectedly appear instead of the window icon next to the window name.
