Shulou(Shulou.com)12/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Gin Ke, soft media new friend 2010825, Microsoft to fear the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, December 5, Microsoft has released the latest preview of Windows 11 for Windows Insider on the Beta channel. The build number of this update is 22635.2841 (KB5032286), including some major changes and bug fixes.

Beta Channel Update members can turn on a switch to take the lead in using some of the new features. Turning off the switch means that these features will not be available to them immediately, but they will get some additional features that will be available to all Beta channel members.

The updated contents of CTOnews.com are as follows:

Changes and improvements (for Beta testers who turn on the switch) [general]

The step logger (Steps Recorder) will not receive any further updates and is scheduled to be deleted in a future version of Windows. Starting with this release, the step Recorder (PSR.exe) displays a new banner notification to guide the user to select another tool. Users are encouraged to explore other tools in Windows 11, such as the screenshot tool, the Xbox game bar, or Microsoft Clipchamp.

[sharing nearby]

If you turn on nearby sharing through Quick setup or directly in Settings, and you turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, it will turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth so that nearby sharing will work as expected. If you turn off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, nearby sharing will also be turned off.

Fix (for Beta testers who turn on the switch) [Task Manager]

Some work has been done to help improve performance when extending the navigation pane in the Task Manager.

Fixed an issue that caused the task manager to crash when changing the always on top mode.

Fixed an issue where the drop-down menu in the settings floated on the screen when scrolling.

New features (available to all Beta testers) [new widget board settings]

We updated the widget setup experience to provide users with more ways to customize the widget board experience. One of the new settings allows you to display widgets only on the widget board, while the other makes it easier for you to discover how to personalize your feed content.

The new setup experience also allows you to select accounts to use for widgets and sources supported by Microsoft Start. This means that you are no longer limited to using the account you used to log in to Windows to drive these experiences, just like the widgets supported by other applications. You can navigate to the "Microsoft Start" setting under the "personalize your content" section of the widget board settings to easily manage the accounts used by Microsoft Start. This change allows you to further personalize the experience according to your preferences. The experience of the new settings is not limited by region.

[we started introducing this feature to Windows Preview experience members on Canary, Dev, and Beta channels today, so the experience has not been made available to all Preview experience members, as we plan to monitor feedback before pushing it to everyone.]

Feedback: please submit feedback in the feedback center (WIN + F) under Desktop Environment > widgets.
