issued Microsoft Windows 11 Builds for Insiders in the Build Preview Channel on Windows 11, build 22H2 (build 22621) and build 23H2 (build 22631), bringing several improvements and bug fixes. One notable change is improved Nearby Share, a feature that lets users wirelessly transfer files between… Nearby devices.

Previously, Nearby Share, which will soon be called Fast Share, primarily improved transfer speeds for devices on the same private network.

The update expands this functionality to public and private networks, which could result in faster file transfers for users sharing content within the same location.

Here are some other updates:

Voice Access: Expanded language support, multi-screen functionality, and dedicated voice commands for hands-free interaction.

Snap Layouts: Suggest optimal window arrangements for improved multitasking.

Phone Link: A streamlined experience with access to recent Android photos and screenshots through the Snipping Tool on PC.

Copilot in Windows: The Assistant icon is now located in the system tray for easier access.

Bug Fixes: Addresses issues affecting applications such as Notepad, 8 Zip, and Remote Desktop functionality.

This update is currently available to Windows Insiders in the Release Preview channel.

It will roll out to all Windows 11 users in the coming weeks.

For those interested in early access, joining the Windows Insider Program provides an opportunity to experience these improvements and contribute to further development.
