Today, Microsoft is releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview build 22000.120 to both the Dev and Beta channels. Indeed, Windows 11 only came to the Beta channel last week with build 22000.100, but it seems like Microsoft plans to keep the two Insider channels on the same build for a while.

As for what's new in Windows 11 preview build 22000.120, there's not much. And unfortunately, there's still no Android app support. At the top of the list is a new Family widget. It just lets you see recent activity from anyone in your Microsoft account family group.

There are some more minor updates as well in this Windows 11 preview. There's new notification badging for Teams Chat, although even if you're enrolled to get the latest and greatest, Microsoft might decide not to let you have it yet. This is typical for new features and the way the firm does A/B testing. The taskbar preview windows have a refined close button, although there's no image for that in the blog post.

Here are the rest of the minor features:

  • When changing backgrounds for Desktops, even if Settings is already open, using Choose Background via Task View will now force Settings to move to whichever Desktop you’re actually on.
  • Moved the Identify button in Display Settings to be right under the control for arranging your monitors (when you have multiple monitors connected) so it’s easier to find.
  • We’ve updated File Explorer’s context menu to be a little more compact for mouse users.
  • Updated the “New” button in the File Explorer’s command bar to use a dropdown menu style with all options in one list instead of a nested list.
  • We’ve made some adjustments to improve the use of space and thumbnail sizes within ALT + Tab, Task View and snap assist.

As always, there are a whole bunch of fixes and known issues. Here's what got fixed:

These are the known issues:

As noted above, it seems that Microsoft is going to keep Windows 11 previews the same in the Dev and Beta channels for a while. This is going to change though, and it's recommended to check your rings to make sure you're in the one you want to be in. At some point, the Redmond firm is going to release previews of the next feature update to Windows 11, and those are going to be in the Dev channel.

In other words, if you only enrolled out of excitement for Windows 11, you might want to make sure that you're in the Beta channel for regular Windows 11 version 21H2 previews.
