Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel have a new update to explore, as Microsoft has recently rolled out Windows 11 Build 22635.4082. This latest version introduces several enhancements aimed at refining user experience and functionality within the operating system.
What you need to know
- Microsoft shipped Windows 11 Build 22635.4082 to Insiders in the Beta Channel recently.
- The update adds the ability to turn off suggestions for disabling notifications from certain apps.
- Updating to the latest Insider build also moves the media controls on the lock screen to the lower bottom center of your screen when media is playing.
This update marks a significant shift in how Insiders can interact with their notifications. Users now have the option to disable suggestions for turning off notifications from specific applications. By clicking the “…” icon within a notification, they can easily manage their preferences. Alternatively, these settings can be accessed through the Settings app under the Notifications section, where a new entry titled “Notification Suggestions” will appear after the user has received a relevant notification.

Notifications
- If desired, there’s now an option to turn off the suggestions to disable notifications from certain apps. You can now press the “…” within the notification to disable the notification, as you can with other notifications, or you can go to the list of notification senders in Settings > System > Notifications and turn it off from there (called “Notification Suggestions” in the list). Note – this entry will only appear in the senders list after you have received one.
Lock screen
- The Lock screen has been updated so that the media controls will now show at the lower bottom center of the Lock screen when media is being played.
Settings
- The settings page for Delivery Optimization under Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Delivery Optimization has been redesigned to align with Windows 11’s design principles.
