Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.2486: What’s New?
Windows Insiders, it’s time to rejoice! The latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.2486 is now available on the Beta Channel. This new build brings a host of changes, improvements, and fixes, all aimed at enhancing your Windows experience.
Major Updates
One of the significant changes you’ll notice is under the Start menu. Windows 11 system components will now show a “system” label under All apps. Additionally, the Xbox Game Bar will now appear as just Game Bar under the Start menu and also under Settings > System > Apps > Installed apps. This change will come through a Game Bar update via the Microsoft Store.

However, the improved screen casting experience introduced with Build 22631.2129 has been temporarily disabled to fix some bugs. But don’t worry, it will be re-enabled in a future Beta Channel flight.
Important Fixes
Along with these updates, the new build also brings fixes for everyone in the Beta Channel. It addresses an issue causing the Start menu to crash on launch if the display language was set to Czech or Slovak. It also resolves an issue where the search icon in the taskbar wasn’t appearing correctly for people using the search icon and label.
About the Beta Channel
The Beta Channel previews experiences that are closer to what will be shipped to general customers. While the Dev and Beta Channels represent parallel development paths, not every feature tried out in the Beta Channel will ship. Windows Insiders can turn ON the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available via Settings > Windows Update.

So, if you’re a Windows Insider in the Beta Channel and want to be the first to get features gradually rolled out to you, turn ON the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available. Over time, the rollouts of features to everyone with the toggle turned on will increase.
