Security News > 2024 > June > Microsoft announces first Windows 10 Beta build since 2021

Microsoft has reopened the Windows 10 beta channel and is asking Insiders to join or switch to receive a new beta build in the coming weeks.

The announcement comes three years after the last Windows 10 build was released for Insiders in the Beta and Release Preview channels.

"To bring new features and more improvements to Windows 10 as needed, we need a place to do active feature development with Windows Insiders," the Windows Insider team said.

"So today, we are opening the Beta Channel for Windows Insiders who are currently on Windows 10. This will allow us to try out new features for Windows 10, version 22H2, with Insiders before releasing them to all Windows 10 customers."

While users have a brief period to roll back to Windows 10, returning to the Beta Channel or Windows 10 will require a clean install.

Windows 10 22H2, the last version, will keep receiving monthly security update releases through October 14, 2025, when Windows 10 reaches the end of support.
