Microsoft releases Build 22489 for Windows 11 on the Dev Channel by adding the "Your Microsoft account" section in settings

Microsoft has released build 22489.1000 for Windows 11 within the Dev Channel. Preparing the improvements that should arrive in autumn 2022, this Build focuses on correcting errors, although in the process it adds functions and improvements that we are now beginning to review.

"

Build 22489.1000 arrives a week later than Build 22483 and adds for example the section Your Microsoft account where you can access information in relation to our Microsoft account, improvements in the use of DNS or allowing the operation of Windows Sandbox on computers with ARM64 processors."

New page Your Microsoft account

"
• They&39;re adding a new page in Settings>quick access to Microsoft account-related information directly in Settings in Windows 11. Provides information related to your Microsoft account, including your Microsoft 365 subscriptions, links to order history, payment details, and Microsoft Rewards. They are starting to roll it out to a small set of users, so you may not see this page right away."
• They are extending the DNS over HTTPS feature in Windows 11 by adding support for designated resolver discovery, details below.
• They are releasing new SDK and NuGet packages for developers with this build.

Over time plan to improve the Microsoft account setup page based on feedback from the Feedback Hub through the Online Service Experience Packs. These Online Service Experience Packs work in a similar way to Windows Feature Experience Packs, allowing you to perform Windows updates outside of major operating system updates. The difference between the two is that Windows Feature Experience Packs can deliver broad improvements across multiple areas of Windows, while Online Service Experience Packs focus on delivering enhancements for a specific experience, such as the new settings page for your Microsoft account.
