Furthermore, Windows 11 build 22631.2506 introduces an updated version of the Settings app with a new Home page with interactive cards and a slew of changes, and Microsoft is also rolling out various security changes.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.windows.com\/windows-insider\/2023\/10\/26\/releasing-windows-11-build-22631-2506-to-the-release-preview-channel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft is also rolling out<\/a> the Windows 11 build 22631.2506 as update KB5031455 for version 23H2 in the Release Preview Channel.
