Microsoft has just released another Windows 11 preview build, and also the good news is identical update is love both Dev and the Beta channels.

In other words, Windows 11 build 22610 still allows users to switch channels without needing to begin with scratch. When the two channels are provided with various builds, this type of switch is no longer possible.

This new build comes with several notable changes, including the drop of the SMB1 client in the Home version. Furthermore, Microsoft says it's removed the tablet-oriented taskbar it previously introduced in another Windows 11 build.

"As a result of feedback from Windows Insiders, we have disabled the tablet-optimized taskbar feature that first started rolling to Windows Insiders in Build 22563 for the time being. Hopefully to bring this feature during the future after further refinement from the experience. As we've stated earlier, features we try out in the Dev or Beta Channels might not always ship," the company explains.

More fixes

The software giant adds this build also resolves a vital issue affecting users who wanted to join the Windows Insider program from Windows 10 devices.

"We fixed the issue causing Windows Insiders running Windows 10 who were attempting to join the Dev or Beta Channels to come across a download error code 0xc8000402 while trying to download the latest build. Should you experienced this problem, please install KB5011831 and then try to download the latest build from either the Dev or Beta Channels. If you still see this issue - please file feedback in Feedback Hub," it explains.

Obviously, this new build also includes lots of other fixes, as well as a number of known problems with its own, so make sure you check them out before installing it.

As for the changes which are included, it's important to keep in mind they don't have a specific ETA, as Microsoft uses Dev builds to experiment with all kinds of ideas without necessarily planning to release them to production devices.
