↑ Changelog

↑ Rolling Out Features

The following features aren't available to all Insiders yet as they're being deployed in phases.

• File Explorer:
  • The Home page now displays personalized Microsoft 365 content for easier access in Windows.
  • Improved performance when extracting archived files, especially noticeable with large numbers of small files.
• Narrator:
  • Added new "Speech Recap" feature that lets you track Narrator's spoken content and quickly reference it. Using simple keyboard shortcuts, you can access spoken content, monitor real-time transcripts, and copy Narrator's last spoken text.
• Phone Link:
  • Windows 11's Start menu now includes a Phone Link sidebar for quick interaction with connected smartphones - making calls, sending SMS, accessing photos and sharing content between PC and phone.
• Widgets:
  • Web developers can now use existing web content to create dynamic, interactive widgets for Windows 11's Widgets panel. Learn more here.
  • European Economic Area (EEA) users can now add, remove and rearrange lock screen widgets like Weather, Sports, Traffic and others. Any widget supporting compact mode can be added. Configure in Settings > Personalization > Lock screen.
• Desktop Icons:
  • Updated logic for desktop app icons. Packaged apps no longer show accent color backgrounds (e.g. when dragging Snipping Tool icon from Start to desktop). Icons are also larger for better visibility.
• Share Feature:
  • The Share window now lets you quickly edit images before sending - crop, rotate or apply filters.
• Start Menu:
  • Fixed touchscreen issues when switching pinned app pages in Start.
  • Fixed missing "Sign out" and additional options in Start's account manager when using enlarged text.
• Taskbar:
  • Fixed arrow key navigation direction when using WIN + T on Arabic/Hebrew systems.

• Server Message Block (SMB):

Built-in USB cameras won't work for Windows Hello login unless Enhanced Sign-in Security (ESS) is manually disabled. To disable: Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options > Advanced settings > "Sign in with external camera or fingerprint reader" > toggle ON. Note: Creating Windows Hello container in 23H2 may prevent ESS use after upgrading to 24H2.
