Windows will preview experiences that are more similar to what they will ship to their general customers on the Beta Channel.
This channel is named after the program itself. There is a possibility that the Beta Channel will be the place where new features and experiences are introduced first.
Users will benefit from these modifications by being able to better defend their devices and systems from ransomware attacks.
According to Microsoft, the upgrades largely concentrate on enhancing Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's capacity to recognize and block ransomware attacks and sophisticated threats.
However, in this build, if users have Server Message Block (SMB) Compression enabled, Microsoft will compress a file regardless of its size.
This build also has increased storage replication that operates over wide area networks with congested wide area networks (WAN) or low bandwidth.
In addition, Microsoft resolved an issue that caused Windows to display tablet mode features for certain devices that did not have touchscreens, as well as an issue that caused the Task View preview for some applications to have blank sections.
Both of these issues were caused by an issue that caused Windows to display tablet mode features for certain devices.
Upon downloading the recent builds, according to Microsoft, the team has detected a few problems.
First, there is an issue in the recent Beta Channel updates that is causing the Photos app to crash, and a fix will be rolling out soon via a Photos app update via the Store.
