Summary
Five new Windows 11 Insider Preview builds landed on Oct. 30 across Beta and Experimental channels, including Build 26220.9836 and Build 26340.9843, with additional 26H1 and Future Platforms releases.
A new Intune policy for commercial customers lets organizations keep Feedback Hub submissions private, limiting access to Microsoft and users within the same tenant instead of the public community.
Windows Search is expanding in Experimental channels with inline controls for volume and brightness, richer file and web results, result filters, and thumbs-up or thumbs-down feedback controls.
Phone Link integration now lets users call or text from Search and trigger phone actions such as Do Not Disturb; Android support is live, while iPhone support is due early next year.
Microsoft said the updated Search interface opens at the bottom center of the screen and is still being adapted for different taskbar positions and Start menu use.
