Following its initial plan, the Redmond firm has published a guide on how to build a custom widget for Windows 11. Interestingly that there is no single word on when exactly third-party widgets will be available to users.

With the release of Windows 11 2022 Update, version 22H2, Microsoft has postponed several features to October. So Microsoft started testing them right now. Ahead of the official release of the "Moment 1" update, Microsoft pushed those features to Release Preview channel Insiders with Windows 11 22H2 Build 22621.608 (KB5017389).

One more bug affects the newly released Windows 11 2022 Update, version 22H2. When copying large files from a network share, the operation can perform really slow. A large (multi-gigabyte) file can have up to 40% less throughput compared to SMB when copying (reading).

With Windows 11 2022 Update, Microsoft updated the inbox screenshot app, with the ability to save screenshots automatically. One may find this new behavior useful, but for some it is annoying. If the new feature doesn't fit your workflow, you can easily disable it.

Microsoft recently confirmed that they are releasing Windows 10 22H2 for those who can't or don't want to go with the most recent Windows 11 version. After the release of Windows 11 22H2, the company is now preparing the appropriate update for Windows 10 users.

Microsoft has issued the first cumulative update for the brand new Windows 11 version 22H2. The KB5017389 patch is currently available as an optional update for those who run "Windows 11 2022 Update." It comes with several fixes, and also adds enhancements like Widgets notifications, reliability updates for the Microsoft Store,  improvements for daylight saving time Chile, and more.

The newest release, Windows 11 version 22H2, reportedly has a number of confirmed issues with printers. For some users it removed all network printers, and for others it eliminates most of the printer's functionality.
