Build 22631.5409 (KB5058502) for Windows 11 drops as the June 2025 Update preview

- The Windows 11 June 2025 Update now enters the testing phase with the first preview for version 23H2.
- In this release, Microsoft brings new features for Copilot and the Settings app, the Share UI adds new edit options, and there are new fixes and improvements.
Microsoft is now rolling out the first preview of the June 2025 update for Windows 11 23H2 in the Release Preview Channel of the Windows Insider Program as build 22631.5409 (KB5058502). This update brings changes for the Copilot app, improves Search for users in Europe, introduces changes for the Settings app, Taskbar, Windows Search, and more.
Currently, these changes only apply to version 23H2. However, if the company follows its regular schedule, a preview of the update for version 24H2 will also become available for the operating system in the coming days.
Another point to make is that during the early days of development, Microsoft did not define updates in the Release Preview Channel. When the updates are ready for the Stable Channel as a preview, they will be known as non-security updates, and it’s not until they become fully available during the Patch Tuesday Update release that the company will label them as the “June 2025 Security Update.”

New About FAQs section
In the “About” settings page, the Settings app will now offer an FAQs section to provide details about your computer system setup, performance, and compatibility.

New Taskbar setting for pins
