Windows 11 Build 22449 that was released yesterday to the Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel from the active development branch, had an issue with the Taskbar, and Start menu. After installing the build, insiders started reporting issues with the non-responsive Start and Taskbar.

Microsoft quickly checked and discovered an issue with the server-side deployment that went incorrect. The company now provided a quick fix to get back into a working state on your PC. Follow the steps as stated below.

Microsoft releases a new Windows 11 build, but this time it has been limited to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel. That’s because Microsoft is now moving the Dev Channel back to receiving builds from the active development branch (RS_PRERELEASE) and thus it will no longer match the Windows 11 experience that's going to release on October 5th.

The latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22449 comes with a change in the SMB compression behavior. It also adds a long list of other changes, improvements and bug fixes. If you are on the Dev Channel, upgrade to this build now.

Back in June, Microsoft started delivering Windows 11 Preview Builds to the Windows Insiders who were already opted into the Dev Channel. Since then, all supported and unsupported devices in the Dev and Beta channels were offered the Windows 11 builds.

But now, that's going to end. Microsoft just made a decision to stop flighting preview builds to the unsupported devices and booting them out of the Windows 11 insiders program.

Yesterday, Microsoft announced the official release date of Windows 11 and said that it will roll out in a phased manner to all compatible Windows 10 devices as a FREE Upgrade. If your system meets the minimum hardware requirements, you can expect it on your system by mid-2022.

Along with this news, there is also a piece of bad news that the Android apps support on Windows 11 won't be part of the first release. Microsoft is yet to start testing this feature with Windows Insiders, which will begin in the coming months.

Windows 11, which was officially announced in June, is currently available as "Preview Build" to the Windows Insiders in the Dev and Beta channel. Microsoft today confirmed the release date of Windows 11. According to the official announcement, Windows 11 will be released on October 5.

Windows 11 will begin rolling out as a free upgrade to eligible Windows 10 PCs that meet the minimum system requirements set by Microsoft.

The OpenDocument format (ODF) 1.3 is now supported in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint alongside the Office Open XML (OOXML) format that uses file extensions such as .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx. The ODF 1.3 specification adds support for many features already supported by the OOXML format, and now these features can be saved by Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

With the latest Microsoft Office build 14420.20004 (version 2109) Microsoft previewed two new features to Office Insiders who are in the Windows Beta Channel. For more information on what has been changed (changelog), continue reading further.

Microsoft recently updates its minimum system requirements for Windows 11 that now adds some 7th generation Intel processors to the compatible processors' list. The new list includes Intel's 7th generation Core X-series processors, Xeon W-series processors, and the Core i7-7820HQ processors.

If your system contains any of the newly added compatible processors, good news for you! You may now receive the Windows 11 update if all other minimum requirements are met as it was originally set by Microsoft.
