Microsoft has released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22499 to Windows Insiders in the dev channel.

Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22499

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22499 to the Dev Channel. 

What’s new in Build 22499

Quickly share open app windows directly from your taskbar to a Microsoft Teams call

In last week’s flight, we introduced the ability to quickly mute and unmute your active meeting calls right from your taskbar. Today we are announcing an extension of that experience with the ability to quickly share the content from open app windows directly from your taskbar to your meeting calls too. This experience, also starting with Microsoft Teams, eliminates the need to flip back and forth across applications just to share or reshare a window. There are no interruptions to your meeting attendees or what they see on screen – share any open window during your call.

Changes and Improvements

• Based on feedback, we are making keyboard focus visuals in Task View and Alt + Tab a little more prominent, so they’re easier to see.

Fixes

[Input]

• Clipboard history should be back up and running properly once you’re on this build.
• Clicking gifs in the emoji panel will now actually insert them into supporting apps, unlike in the previous build.
• Updated the backend dictionaries for several languages – the touch keyboard’s text suggestions and autocorrect should be more accurate now.
• If you change your accent color the accents in the emoji panel should follow suit now, instead of getting stuck with the old color.
• Fixed an IME crash that was happening sometimes for people who had chosen to use the previous version of the Pinyin IME.
• Mitigated an explorer.exe crash that was happening sometimes recently related to touch keyboard usage.

[Windowing]

• Made another fix to address an issue where explorer.exe would crash if you pressed ALT + F4 while ALT + Tab was open.

[Settings]

• Fixed a Settings crash that could happen when trying to check remote sound properties while accessing a PC over Remote Desktop..

[Other]

• Fixed an issue that was causing some clipping / unexpected zoom when going through OOBE on some ultrawide monitors.
• The apostrophe in the error message when your fingerprint isn’t recognized on the login screen should display correctly now.
• When taking a screenshot of a UWP app by pressing the New button in Snipping Tool, Snipping Tool should come into the foreground once the snip is done.
• Fixed an issue that was causing some Insider PCs to bugcheck when coming out of sleep recently, with an error message saying “SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED”.
• Fixed a deadlock that could happen related to  MediaPlaybackCommandManager, resulting in certain apps not being able to play media sometimes.
• Addressed an issue that was causing reports in Reliability Monitor to unexpectedly be blank with just an empty rectangle when going to see more info.
• Did some work to help address an issue resulting in certain games having some lag that was only noticeable when the window was in focus. As a reminder if needed, please refer to  the following documentation for filing actionable game perf feedback.
