Today, Microsoft is releasing Windows 11 build 22000.706 to the Release Preview channel of the Insider Program. As usual, the channel is reserved for cumulative updates that are slated to eventually roll out to the public. Non-Insiders will see this as an optional update in a week or two, and then the fixes that are included will eventually be bundled into next month's Patch Tuesday update.

There are a couple of new features though. Windows spotlight finally brings the pictures from your lock screen to the desktop. It's pretty straight forward. Your desktop wallpaper will be able to cycle through daily images, much like we've already had on the lock screen.

There's also a better Family Safety verification experience for a child account when they request more screen time.

Other than that, KB 5014019 contains a ton of fixes.

Again, this update is exclusive to the Release Preview channel of the Windows Insider Program. The Beta channel has already moved onto testing out features from Windows 11 version 22H2, which is set to arrive this fall. Those users are going to start seeing new cumulative updates soon, but they're not going to be the same updates as in the Release Preview channel.

The Release Preview channel won't move over to 22H2 until a few weeks before it ships for everyone. That means that if you're using the channel, you'll be on Windows 11 version 21H2 until September or October.

As mentioned above, this update should be available for non-Insiders in a week or two.
