Windows 11 482 Published by

Both Windows 11 builds 22621.4247 and 22631.4247 (KB5043145) have been made available to Insiders via the Release Preview Channel. The update contains new features and enhancements divided into two sections: gradual rollout and normal rollout.

The slow deployment includes the "Sign out" option in the account manager, the ability to share local files immediately from search results, and a Delivery Optimization Settings page that matches the Windows 11 look. The standard deployment addresses issues with IE mode, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), COSA profiles, Outlook and other encrypted email apps, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and Microsoft Edge.

Gradual rollout

These might not be available to all users because they will roll out gradually. Text bolded in brackets indicate the area of the change being documented.

  • [Start menu] New! The “Sign out” option is now on the account manager when you open the Start menu. To change to a different user, select the ellipses (…). A list of other users appears to make it easier to switch.
  • [Taskbar] New! You can now share local files directly from the search results that appear in the Search box on the taskbar.
