Hello WindowsForum.com members,
Exciting news for Windows enthusiasts! Microsoft has just released Windows 11 Build 22621.1483 (KB5023778) to Insiders in the Release Preview Channel for Windows 11, version 22H2. This latest build introduces several new features and a slew of improvements aimed at enhancing the overall user experience. Let's dive into the key highlights:
## New Features and Improvements
### Start Menu Enhancements
Notifications for Microsoft Accounts: This update brings notifications for Microsoft accounts directly to the Start menu. Initially available to a limited audience, it will roll out more broadly over the coming months. As part of this rollout, users might notice some visual variations as Microsoft gathers feedback.
### Enhanced Bing Search Integration
Bing Chat Experience: With access to the new Bing, the search box on the taskbar now includes a button that opens the Bing chat experience in Microsoft Edge. For those without access, the search box will feature a dynamic search highlight button.
### Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
Significant updates and improvements have been added to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, bolstering security and protection. Detailed information can be found on the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint page.
### Taskbar Search Box
Custom Color Mode: The search box on the taskbar will now be lighter when Windows is set to a custom color mode with dark Windows mode and light app mode settings.
## Bug Fixes and Updates
### Addressing Issues
- Combo Box in Settings: Fixed an issue where the combo box failed to display all available options.
- Microsoft PowerPoint: Resolved a problem where PowerPoint would stop responding, particularly when using accessibility tools.
- Microsoft Narrator: Narrator now correctly reads items in dropdown lists in Microsoft Excel.
- USB Printers: The system no longer misclassifies USB printers as multimedia devices.
- PIN Complexity Policies: Fixed an issue where PIN complexity policies were being ignored.
- FIDO2 PIN Credentials: The PIN credential icon for FIDO2 now appears correctly on external monitors attached to closed laptops.
### Additional Fixes
- Clustered Shared Volume (CSV): Resolved an issue where CSV failed to come online due to BitLocker key rotations.
- Active Directory Users & Computers: Fixed a problem where enabling or disabling multiple objects at once in TaskPad view caused the application to stop responding.
- Remote Procedure Call Service: Addressed issues causing race conditions between DCOM and RPC endpoint mapper.
- Windows Search: Fixed failures of Windows Search inside container images.
- Group Policy Editor: Added Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 to the list of configurable protocols.
- Daylight Saving Time: Updated to support the 2023 daylight saving time change order for Egypt.
- Microsoft HTML Application Host (HTA): Resolved issues blocking code execution when WDAC User Mode Code Integrity is enforced.
- Windows Remote Management (WinRM): Fixed HTTP server error status (500) when running transfer jobs in the Storage Migration Service.
- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): Fixed an issue with DHCP option 119 stopping the use of connection-specific DNS Suffix Search Lists.
- Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP): Corrected installation status reporting for SCEP certificates.
