Microsoft is always testing new features in the Insiders program, and speaking of which, a new build was recently released.

The new version comes with various features, and one of them is an improved sharing feature, so let’s dive into it and see how it works.

Build 22635.3500 lets you send emails to yourself right from the Share window

How many times did you have to send yourself an email to share something? We know that we have, and while this isn’t the most elegant solution, many use it since it’s readily available.

Microsoft is aware of this, and the company decided to test a native feature in Build 22635.3500 that lets you do just that.

Currently, the share option is somewhat limited, and while it’s possible to send emails to yourself, it involves entering your email address, copying the link or data, and sending the email.

In this build, there’s now an option to send email to yourself right from the Windows share window. However, this feature seems to be limited to Gmail as Windows Insider Blog states.

This is a small quality-of-life improvement that will make sharing a bit simpler and faster, so don’t hesitate to try it if you’re a member of the Beta Channel.

As for other new features in this Build, the Sign out button is now hidden in the Start menu on Windows 11.
