Last night, Microsoft launched Windows 11 Beta 22635.4580 to users in the test channel. The corresponding cumulative update is KB5046733. This update mainly fixes multiple known errors. For example, some users cannot activate the system after replacing the motherboard. Normally, please check that activation will indeed be lost after replacing the motherboard. However, you only need to click the Troubleshooting button on the activation settings page and choose to replace the motherboard to activate. This error causes the Troubleshooting option to be unable to repair activation.
However, this fix is only available to test channel users for the time being. According to the change rhythm and the Christmas holiday, the new fix update will not arrive in the official version until January 2025 at the earliest. If an optional update test needs to be released, the fix will not be completed in the official version until the monthly routine update in February 2025.
The following are the functional changes in this update:
Due to an error in the short date of the time module in the previous beta version, it has been disabled and reverted to long date in the new version.
Microsoft is updating Explorer so that when opening a folder, it will be merged into the currently open File Explorer window by default.
The OneDrive backup icon in Explorer now has a new option to disable. After disabling, the address bar will no longer flash a blue backup button.
Here are the various bugs fixed:
Solve the problem that some low-power Bluetooth devices cannot transmit Bluetooth audio, which is prone to occur on some hearing aids
Fixed the issue where Microsoft Pinyin input method would accidentally switch Chinese input to English input when switching windows.
Fixed an issue that may cause the system to freeze when a printer based on the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is connected via USB.
Microsoft Store's Update External Software feature also arrives in Beta channel
