Since February, users have been enjoying the new AI-powered Bing and Edge, with Bing Chat available through the Edge sidebar. To address the needs of commercial customers, we then announced Bing Chat Enterprise, which offers AI-powered chat with commercial data protection.

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22621.2199 and Build 22631.2199 (KB5029352) to the Beta Channel. Build 22631.2199 = New features rolling out.

This approach is being used for the Beta Channel only and is not indicative of any changes or plans for final feature rollouts. Insiders who landed in the...
