Windows 11 preview build 22557 rolls out to Insiders with a ton of new features

After two long weeks away, Microsoft is back with a new Windows 11 preview build for Insiders in the Dev Channel to start testing. Today's build is a doozy, as we've got two to play with!

Windows 11 preview build 22557 rolls out to Insiders with a ton of new features

Top billing for today's preview is a bunch of new features, including app folders in the Start menu, new gestures for tablet users, Focus sessions in the Notification Center, a new snapping interface, and much more. The introduction of app folders in the Start menu has been a big request from users, so it's great to see it's finally in testing.

The new tablet gestures are also a nice addition. Users can now swipe up from the bottom of their display to access Start or Quick Settings, making accessing those UI areas easier with touch. There's also new productivity features, including a new snap bar interface that appears when you grab a window, and the ability to start a Focus session directly from the Notification Center.
