Microsoft has just released the Windows 11 Insider build 22000.466 for testers in the Beta and Release Preview channels. This is a cumulative update for the first version of Windows 11 Microsoft released last year, and it fixes various issues related to ARM64 devices, the taskbar, File Explorer, and more.
In the changelog, the Windows Insider team also mentioned the addition of a new Your Microsoft Account page to the Accounts category in Windows Settings. Moreover, Windows Insiders will find a new Bing-powered HelpWith feature that can suggest relevant Help topics for each Settings page.
You can find the full list of bug fixes and improvements in the Windows 11 Insider build 22000.466 below:
