14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has recently released a new Windows 11 version 22H2 preview update, and the changelog includes quite a lot of goodies that users are going to love.
The new update is KB5018496, and it includes not only bug fixes but also a series of new features.
For example, Microsoft explains that this update brings back a Task Manager option in the taskbar, as well as several Microsoft Account improvements, including deeper integration into the Settings app.
“It enhances the backup experience when using your Microsoft Account (MSA). Some devices might notice visual treatments for this enhancement. This is available to a small audience initially and deploys more broadly in the months that follow. It adds improvements to the Microsoft Account experience in Settings. For instance, you can manage your Microsoft OneDrive subscription and related storage alerts,” Microsoft explains in the official changelog.
As far as the fixes are concerned, Microsoft says it managed to resolve several important glitches, including one that affects the Start menu and another one hitting File Explorer.
Here are some of the most important fixes in this new cumulative update:
- It addresses an issue that stops the credential UI from displaying in IE mode when you use Microsoft Edge.
- It addresses an issue that might fail to sync the audio when you record game play using the Xbox Game Bar.
- It addresses an issue that affects File Explorer. It is less dependable when you browse for Microsoft OneDrive folders.
- It addresses an issue that affects the Start menu. It stops working when you use keyboard commands to move pinned items to a folder at the end of a list.
- It stops the start of daylight saving time in Jordan at the end of October 2022. The Jordan time zone will permanently shift to the UTC + 3 time zone.
The update is available today for Windows 11 version 22H2 devices where a manual check for updates is performed in Windows Update.
