Microsoft Issues First Windows 11 Build of the New Year

Windows 11 Insider Preview build 22526 is now available to Windows Insiders with PCs enrolled in the Dev channel. This build, the first in over three weeks, provides “a good set of changes and improvements as well as fixes,” Microsoft says.

Those changes and improvements include:

• An experiment, available only to “some Insiders” in which the ALT + TAB experience displays as a window instead of full screen.
• New support for wideband speech when using Apple AirPods, which improves audio quality for voice calls.
• Credential Guard is now enabled by default on Windows 11 Enterprise (E3 and E5) licensed PCs that are enterprise-joined.
• An experiment in which Windows 11 indexes more file locations so that using search to find important files in Files Explorer is quicker.

So. Yeah.

There are numerous fixes in this build as well, of course. And even more known issues.
