Along with a Release Preview Channel release of Windows 10 22H2, Microsoft also released two new builds to the Windows 11 Beta Channel today, 22621.440 and 22622.440. As per the new norm, Microsoft has split up the builds into "new features rolling out" (22622.440), and "new features off by default" (22621.440) builds. Some Insiders will get a build with new features, and some won't, although those that don't can check for updates (the "seeker experience") and install the build with the new features (although either way, the features are rolling out, so you may or may not get new features no matter what you do).

Build 22622.440 = New features rolling out.
Build 22621.440 = New features off by default.

As a reminder, Insiders who landed in the group with new features turned off by default (Build 22621.xxxx) can check for updates and choose to install the update that will have features rolling out (Build 22622.xxx).

What’s new in Build 22622.440
Taskbar Overflow
We’re reintroducing taskbar overflow, with a newly designed experience for Windows 11. This taskbar experience has been thoughtfully crafted to offer you a more productive switching and launching experience when space is constrained. Your taskbar will automatically transition into this new overflow state when it has hit its maximum capacity. In this state, taskbar will offer an entry point to an overflow menu that allows you to view all your overflowed apps in one space.

The overflow menu will contain many of the current taskbar behaviors users are familiar with, such as supporting pinned apps, jump list, and extended UI. After invoking overflow, the menu will quietly dismiss once you click outside of it or navigate to an application.

[We are beginning to roll this feature out, so it isn’t available to all Insiders in the Beta Channel just yet as we plan to monitor feedback and see how it lands before pushing it out to everyone.]

What’s new in BOTH Build 22621.440 & Build 22622.440
Dynamic Widgets content on the taskbar
We’re trying out some changes to bring more dynamic Widgets content to your taskbar. In addition to seeing live content from the weather widget, you’ll also start to see live updates from the sports and finance widgets, along with breaking news alerts.

This should make it easier for you to know when something important happens related to these widgets and keep you informed of breaking news.

The content is meant to be quick and glanceable with the ability to see more inside the widgets board if you click on it. However, if you don’t interact with the content update the taskbar will return to showing you the weather.

Changes and Improvements in Build 22622.440
[General]
We are beginning to roll out the updated “Open with” dialog box again to align with Windows 11 design principles. The updated dialog box honors light and dark theme. We have also simplified the experience by making it possible to update your default app with just one click. Since reverting this change back in March, we’ve made performance improvements based on Insider feedback.

[Input]
We have updated the U.S. English (EN-US) handwriting model to be faster and more accurate. Use the updated Handwriting Panel for ink-to-text and let us know what you think.
[Settings]
Settings now supports managing apps which were earlier only supported from Control Panel. This includes uninstallation of apps which have inter-dependencies (e.g., Steam and gaming apps running on Steam), repair and modifying of Win32 apps.

Along with these new Beta Channel features, both introduced earlier to the Dev Channel, there are a number of fixes and improvements, you can check them out in the blog post.
