Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Sentinel, Dest1n, EdgeOS, Terrence for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, January 20, Microsoft today released a preview of Windows 11 Build 25281 for Dev channels. Since this release, Microsoft is trying to improve Windows Spotlight and introduce visual updates to the graphics settings page. And brought some repairs. The multi-tag feature in notepad has begun to be introduced to Windows Preview experience members in the Dev channel.

New content improves Windows Spotlight focus

Starting with this version, Microsoft began to try different ways to deal with the appearance of Windows Spotlight (Windows focus). All processes will continue to share existing core Windows Spotlight functions, such as hovering over icons on the desktop, right-clicking icons on the desktop, and double-clicking icons on the desktop. The processing of Spotlight will include a richer UI that revolves around displaying the title and description and learning more about displaying images on the desktop through Spotlight. CTOnews.com learned that Microsoft is also trying to switch between different images in different ways, including previewing, full-screen experience, and minimizing the experience. Dev channel's internal testers will see different ways of handling it on their PC, so not everyone will see the same content.

To enable Windows Spotlight on PC, right-click your desktop and select Personalization, and then select a new Spotlight theme. In addition, users can directly enable Windows Spotlight, please go to Settings > Personalization > background and select the options under the Personalization background drop-down menu.

Change and improve [settings]

In accordance with the new Windows 11 design principles, Microsoft has redesigned the graphics settings page under Settings > display > Graphics to make it easier for users to get graphics configurations, such as GPU preferences and automatic HDR. The functionality of these settings remains the same as in previous versions of Windows, but now has a smoother visual look.

When you remove a paired Bluetooth device from Settings > Bluetooth and Devices, the confirmation prompt no longer pops up before it is removed.

Fix [taskbar and system tray]

The printer icon in the system tray is updated when printing content to better align it with other modern icons.

When you navigate the taskbar using WIN+T and arrow keys, the location of the application icon is now called up by the narrator (for example, if File Explorer is in the first location and there are 15, File Explorer might say the application icon on the "1/15" taskbar).

[file Explorer]

Updated the error dialog box when network discovery was turned off to point to the correct location to enable it.

Fixed possible explorer.exe crash when closing File Explorer.

[settings]

Fixed an issue where SSID was not populated on the properties page of Wi-Fi in network and Internet settings.

If you are prompted by the UAC dialog box when switching between the private and public networks, the UAC dialog box will now appear in the foreground rather than behind other windows.

Fixed an issue where Quick setup might not reopen after going to the Wi-Fi section and closing the eject button.

[window]

Right-clicking the snapshot group in the task view and selecting Show this group on all desktops will no longer cause explorer.exe to crash.

[other]

Fixed an issue where the narrator did not notify when the @ reference window popped up in Outlook.

Fixed an issue that could cause some applications to uninstall stuck and failed to uninstall in recent versions.

Fixed an issue that caused the Windows print queue window to sometimes crash in the latest version.

Fixed an issue that might cause SQL Server Management Studio to fail to start.

Note: some of the fixes mentioned in the preview version of the Dev channel may enter service updates for the released version of Windows 11.

Microsoft is investigating reports that some internal testers encountered a freeze when using browsers and some other applications after installing previous versions of Dev.

[taskbar and system tray]

[search on the taskbar]

The following known issues apply only to Windows Preview experience members, who accept a different approach, that is, the look of the search on the taskbar, and begin to roll out to Preview experience members using Build 25252:

There is a problem that, in some cases, users will not be able to change the taskbar search box to display only as icons through taskbar settings. To resolve this problem, first change to a different option, and then you will be able to choose to display only as icons.

[task Manager]

When applied from the task manager settings page, some dialogs may not be rendered with the correct theme.
