Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel can now download either Build 22622.590 or 22621.590. Both of the updates deliver fixes, but neither of them has new features. In fact, Build 22622.590 actually removes an option.

Microsoft has been testingthe ability to share local files directly to OneDrive using the Windows share window. This replicated similar functionality that’s been on iOS and Android for years. Due to user feedback, Microsoft has decided to disable the feature on Windows 11. The company said that it hopes to bring the feature back in the future after it refines the experience.

As a reminder, Microsoft split the Beta Channel to have one branch with features off by default and another that receives new features. Build 22622.590 has new features, while Build 22621.590 has them off by default.

Here are the fixes in both new builds as well as those only delivered by Build 22622.590, asoutlined by Microsoft:

Build 22621.590 & Build 22622.590 fixes
