Besides the new Dev channel build, Microsoft has released a new patch KB5022364 for those who runs Windows 11 in the Beta channel. Traditionally, there are two builds, Build 22623.1095 that includes new features, and Build 22621.1095 that comes with everything new disabled, but it is easy to activate them via a special optional update. The new features in today's update include a new design of the Start menu. It now has a search box with rounder corners. Similar to its Dev channel counterpart, this build shows Quick Assist outside of the Windows Tools folder.
