I did not have any luck with that fast beta version you mentioned. Did you use that with the new PB4 or the DB5 from yesterday? Do we know if they are the same build of Monterey?
Got a tip for us?

I am using it on the DB5 from yesterday and works without any glitch. No beachballs and smooth working. Build for DB5 is 21A5304g. So you can check if they are the same.
Thanks for the quick feedback. A couple things that didn't work for me on DB5 - I couldn't use my scanner as I didn't have application rights for that, Microsoft AutoUpdater wouldn't launch as I didn't have privledges... some strange stuff never seen in these types of beta updates! Any other issues you've seen?
I was reading this article when the little red dot appeared on the System Preferences icon in the dock. Good timing Apple.
Have not seen these issues with apps rights or AutoUpdater not starting. What I had done though recently was manually update all Office365 apps manually as AutoUpdater started to give me errors a few months back that it could not update the apps.
I then went ahead and installed the update 21080301 (I think that is the one that was published on the MS website for early access) and everything worked. When updating to DB5 outlook gave me the spinning beach balls and then I ran AutoUpdate and updated to the latest Beta (21081001) and then it worked for me smoothly and have not found any issues so far.
yes but it should not I am the only one using the machine and admin.
That's the message I get on my work machine with Jamf profiles installed, but certainly not what I would expect on a personal machine.

Updated to Monterey 12.0 Beta (21A5304g) and Outlook 365 (from App Store) still works in "new Outlook" mode.
Killed Outlook for me too 16.52 keep freezing with the spinning wheel. I updated to the Beta Channel Version of Outlook (16.53) and it's working now. That other "New Style" of Outlook is not an option for me (It's horrible if you actually use Tasks)
Now if I could just get the photos app to actually start scanning faces…..

I'm on these exact versions also on een M1 Macbook Pro, but I can't use Outlook. I've tried to remove the accounts and re-add them, but that didn't work. I'm now trying to remove Outlook and reinstall completely to see if that works.
I have two email accounts in my Outlook, one Gmail and one Exchange account for work, and anytime I went into the exchange account I ended up having to force quit after I clicked on an email as it would beach ball and freeze. I haven't yet been able to get around this and now it is doing it for my Gmail account in Outlook as well.
Edit after reading further posts: M1 iMac for me...now using Mail for the time being for Gmail....my Exchange account will not be working from my Mac for the next little bit it seems like. Might try the Outlook Beta as others suggested though.
Question for the group - how do I re-enroll in the Apple Beta program for the Mac? I unenrolled so I could get the Big Sur 11.5.2 update, which did not show up in my Software Update (nor did the 11.5.1 update). Now that I have it, I want to go back to the Beta. When I go to the site and sign back in, it just goes back to the Beta page and I don't get any file to download and I don't see a change in the Software update. Anyone know what to do?
