As tends to happen on the Thursday of every week, Microsoft is rolling out a new Windows 11 build to Insiders in the Dev and Beta channels today. This week’s update brings Windows 11 up to build number 22000.160, at the same time Microsoft has also published ISO files for last week’s build 22000.132. The changelog for this build only includes a couple of changes.

First, there’s the new Focus Sessions feature, which is part of the Alarms & Clock app. This was first teased by Microsoft’s Panos Panay a couple of weeks ago, and it’s meant to help users focus on a given task.

Then, there’s a bit of a regression. If you’ve been testing Windows 11, you might have noticed that before restarting your PC to install an update, it would tell you how long it expects to take to restart. Now, that’s only going to happen if have an SSD, not an HDD. However, this is only due to some bugs, and Microsoft says this feature should return in the future.

There isn’t much else that’s new here, and one of the things we were expecting – Android app support – still isn’t here. In fact, it might not show up in time for the initial public release of Windows 11, considering how close we are to the public launch. We also don’t get the new Paint app that was teased yesterday.

Even the list of fixes in Windows 11 build 22000.160 only includes one item, and that’s a fix for an issue where you might see the location icon in your taskbar even though you’ve disabled location access in the Settings app.

Otherwise, there’s still a lengthy list of known issues. You can check out the full list below:

As usual, you’ll need to be enrolled in either the Dev or Beta channels of the Windows Insider Program to get Windows 11 build 22000.160. Eventually, though, these two rings will split, as the Dev channel will begin testing the next big update for Windows 11. If you only want to be a tester until Windows 11 releases. you might want to stay in the Beta channel.
