- Are you one of the Insiders conducting their testing on the Dev Channel?
- Know that the Redmond tech giant has just released a new Insider build.
- Check out all of the changes, improvements, fixes, and known issues here.
Yesterday we spoke about the brand new Insider builds that Microsoft rolled out to the Windows 11 Release Preview Channel and the Windows 2022 Server.
Now, it’s time to look towards Windows 11 again and analyze the latest build released to the Dev Channel, which comes with a lot of changes.
So, stick around and find out everything there is to know about Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25182.
What’s new in build 25182?
Indeed, the Redmond-based tech colossus has just released Windows 11 Insider build 25182 to the Dev Channel Insiders.
And, as you would have imagined, this release is actually still version 22H2, since the Sun Valley 3 development, also known as Windows 11 23H2.
The above-mentioned version ended up being canceled in favor of releasing a major new Windows version every three years.
Dev build 25182 does not add any new features but brings a ton of bug fixes and general improvements, as you are about to see.

That being said, if the shutter is blocking the view or if the laptop lid is closed, the Camera app will inform you and offer guidance.
Microsoft also stated that it has actually improved the Camera app experience on Arm64 devices, which means you will see faster and better performance when you use the app.
The tech giant also began to roll out a Microsoft Store update (version 22207.1401.x) with the following improvements:
- Screenshots in search results: View screenshots in search results to help improve your browsing experience.
- Install games directly from the Microsoft Store app: When you find a game you like, you can install it right from the Microsoft Store, without switching apps.
