Microsoft has released two new Windows 11 Insider builds today with a couple of new features for Beta Channel testers. The Beta build 22635.3785 brings changes to the Start Menu, Windows Spotlight, and Phone Link, while the Dev Build 26120.961 only includes bug fixes and no new features.
Beta Channel Insiders who have turned on the Windows Update toggle to get the latest update as soon as they’re available will get three new features. The first one is the ability to share content to an Android device from Windows Share. This will first require pairing the phone using the Link to Windows app on Android and Phone Link on the PC.

Microsoft is also rolling out jump lists support for apps pinned to the Start Menu. For apps that do support them, jump lists are currently available from the taskbar, and they’re also available from the “All apps” view in Start Menu. Now, jump lists will also be accessible when right-clicking on apps pinned to the Start menu.
The Windows Insider team also said today that it’s now testing different changes for the Windows Spotlight experience. Some insiders will notice that a single click on the Spotlight icon on the desktop will open the Bing landing page for the image. However, right-clicking the icon will launch the Spotlight experience, while double-clicking it will open the same experience in full-screen mode.
Lastly, a Snipping Tool update that brings automatic saves for screen recordings is rolling out to Insiders on the Beta Channel. A Microsoft Store update is also rolling out on all Insider channels with a new dialog to redeem Microsoft Rewards points for a gift card to apply towards purchases.
