Releasing Windows 11 Builds 22621.3227 and 22631.3227 to the Release Preview Channel
Hello Windows Insiders, today we’re releasing Windows 11 Builds 22621.3227 and 22631.3227 (KB5034848) to Insiders in the Release Preview Channel on Windows 11, version 22H2 (Build 22621) and version 23H2 (Build 22631)
Along with this update, we are also releasing a February Windows Configuration Update (KB5035349) for both Windows 11, version 22H2 and 23H2 that introduces a few new features and improvements such as:
- Voice access is available in additional languages: French (France, Canada), German, and Spanish (Spain, Mexico).
- You can now use all voice access features on multiple displays.
- Voice shortcuts or custom commands in voice access.
- You can now listen to a preview of the ten natural voices in Narrator before you download them.
- You can now use voice access to open applications, dictate text, and interact with elements on the screen. You can also use your voice to command Narrator.
- The Windows share window will use the account you use to sign in for apps that are in “Share using.” For example, if you use a Microsoft account (MSA) to sign in, you will see Microsoft Teams (free). When you use a Microsoft Entra ID account (formerly Azure Active Directory) to sign in, your Microsoft Teams (work or school) contacts show instead.
- The Windows share window now supports sharing with WhatsApp in the “Share using” section. If you do not have WhatsApp installed, you can install it from the Windows share window.
- You can use quick settings or the Settings app to turn on Nearby Share. If you do and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are off, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will turn on to make Nearby Share work as you expect. If you turn off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, Nearby Share turns off as well.
- You can now give your device a more friendly name to identify it when sharing. Go to Settings > System > Nearby sharing. There, you can rename your device.
- We have improved Nearby Share transfer speed for users on the same network. Before, users had to be on the same private network. Now, users must be on the same public or private network.
- The Cast flyout menu in quick settings gives you more help to find nearby displays, fix connections, and more.
- We are adding suggestions to Snap Layouts. They help you to instantly snap multiple app windows together.
- Improvements for Windows 365 Boot and Windows 365 Switch.
