accessibility improvements

About this tag
Accessibility improvements in Windows 11 are a recurring focus across recent Insider builds, preview updates, and third-party tools. Microsoft has been refining screen-reader support, adding new accessibility options in taskbar and Widgets settings, and bundling accessibility upgrades alongside cross-device continuity and MIDI features in updates like KB5077239 and KB5074105. The Glow 26.6 utility also improved accessibility for screen-reader users. These changes reflect Microsoft's ongoing effort to make Windows more usable for people with disabilities, often delivered as part of broader cumulative updates rather than standalone releases.
