Microsoft has released a new Windows 11 build to the Dev and Beta Channels that introduces multiple group policies that IT administrators can use to tweak the Start menu, the taskbar, and the system tray.
"We are introducing new policies so that IT administrators can simplify their Windows 11 experience across Start, taskbar, and the system tray," the Windows Insider team said.
Today's release, Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22610, also comes with a sizable list of changes and fixes for known issues.
Redmond also says that Windows 11 Home edition Dev and Beta Channel builds, the last editions of Windows or Windows Server that still had the 30-year-old SMBv1 file-sharing protocol enabled, now also disable the SMBv1 client by default.
Redmond announced it would disable SMBv1 in most versions of the Windows operating system in June 2017 after disabling it in internal builds of Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows Server 2016.
SMBv1 is no longer installed in Windows by default since Windows 10 version 1709 and Windows Server version 1709, with newer versions of Windows having switched SMBv3.
