This week on Pureinfotech, the Get started app reveals that Microsoft may be planning to name the next feature update the “Windows 11 2022 Update,” dropping the month as part of the name. Also, the rumor is that version 22H2 will initially ship without tabs for File Explorer or Suggested Actions because the company plans to roll out these features through its new “moments” updates.
The latest preview of the upcoming Outlook app for Windows 11 has been spotted with support for personal accounts. However, you can only use a Microsoft account. Support for Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud, and others will come at a later time.
As part of version 22H2, this week, the update KB5016695 became available in the Release Preview Channel with updated features for Defender for Endpoint, SMB compression, and usage history for various apps. Windows 11 builds 22621.586 and 22622.586 (KB5016701) were released in the Beta Channel with a bunch of new fixes and improvements. Also, Windows 11 build 25188 rolled out in the Dev Channel with new touch keyboard settings, Windows Terminal as the new default system experience, and Microsoft Store received an update to test ads in search results.
