Features, improvements, and bug fixes

  1. New! KB5022913 LCU enables quick access to Windows Studio Effects straight from the taskbar quick settings for devices equipped with a supported neural processing unit aka NPU. The rollout simplifies the process of activating and configuring camera effects, for example, Audio effects (Voice focus), Automatic framing, Eye contact, and Background blur. However, it is still possible to access these effects through the Settings pages.
  2. New!  The latest update has improved the process of seeking assistance for PC-related problems, making it more convenient and accessible. A link to the Quick Assist app has been incorporated at the bottom of the Troubleshooters section under Settings > System, providing users with easy access to the app for resolving issues with their system. Quick Assist can also be located in the list of All apps within the Start menu.
  3. New!  In Windows 11 Build 22621.1343, the search box experience located on taskbar has been enhanced. As you type in the search box, relevant search results will appear instantly. To customize your taskbar’s search experience, navigate to Settings => Personalization => Taskbar. This LCU in RP channel comes up with a new policy for IT administrators of commercial customers to manage the appearance of the search box on the taskbar within their organization. To know more, navigate to Customizing search on the Windows 11 taskbar.
  4. New! With this update, energy recommendations are now available to users. By following these recommendations, users can increase their PC’s energy efficiency and reduce their carbon footprint. To access the energy recommendations, go to Settings > System => Power & Battery => Energy Recommendations.
  5. New! The system tray (previously known as the notification area) has been improved with this update. Now, all icons in the system tray, along with the Show hidden icons flyout menu, have a rounded focus and hover treatment in the lower right corner. Users have the option to rearrange icons within the “System tray” flyout menu or move them directly to the taskbar.
  6. New! KB5022913 rolled out a touch-optimized taskbar for 2-in-1 devices that you could use as a tablet. There were two forms of this taskbar: expanded and collapsed. To switch between the two shapes, swipe down and up on the bottom of your screen. In tablet mode, the taskbar is designed to provide users with more screen space by receding when collapsed. This feature also prevents accidental opening of the taskbar. The optimized version of the taskbar will be automatically enabled when the keyboard is disconnected or folded back.
    • This feature was enabled by default and only available on devices that could function as tablets. To customize that, proceed to Settings => Personalization => Taskbar => Taskbar behaviors. The name of the setting is Optimize taskbar for touch interactions when this device is used as a tablet. This feature will be disabled by default if Windows updates for your device are managed by your company. Administrators can enable it by using the new commercial control for continuous innovation.
  7. New! KB5022913 RP channel release provided enhanced support for braille devices. The devices continued to function seamlessly while switching between Microsoft Narrator and third-party screen readers. Narrator automatically switched to the appropriate braille drivers. To know more, read – Chapter 8: Using Narrator with braille.
  8. New! Furthermore, this update introduced support for new braille input and output languages as well as new braille displays in Narrator. Some of the just-supported braille displays are NLS Reader, APH Chameleon, APH Mantis Q40, and several other.
  9. New! The rollout increased the flexibility of voice access and expanded support for interacting with a wider range of user interface controls. For instance, voice interacted with controls that contained:
    • Names having such as Click 5.
    • Names in which white spaces are absent, such as click PivotChart or click PivotTable.
    • The names that have special characters, for example, Dial – up (click dial hyphen up) or Bluetooth & devices (click Bluetooth and devices).
  10. New! With KB5022913 Windows 11 Build 22621.1343, voice access now supports thumb controls, split buttons, and spin controls which can be interacted with using either the click command or number overlays. In addition, this update addressed problems that impacted the snapping commands for aligning windows to the left or right. The commands that shifted the cursor within a text box executed immediately.
  11. New! Voice scrolling improvements were also introduced with this update. With this update, you can now utilize voice commands to scroll to the far left or right of a page. Additionally, a continuous scrolling feature has been added for horizontal scrolling, similar to the one already available for vertical scrolling.
