Last week, Microsoft released Windows 11 Insider Build 23430 to Insiders in the Dev channel. In typical Microsoft's fashion, it includes a few hidden features in addition to what was announced officially. Enthusiasts have quickly found a way to activate them with help of the ViVeTool app.

Cloud PC is Microsoft's service that  allows users to access a Windows desktop experience from any device with an internet connection. It connects the user to a virtual machine hosted in the cloud and streams its desktop and apps to the local device. A new research reveals that Cloud PC adds support for third-party providers, that makes it not limited to Microsoft 365.

Based on the latest statistics from Steam, as of March 2023, there has been a 10.97% rise in the usage of Windows 10 and a 10.35% decline in the usage of Windows 11. The statistics comprise data on frequently used operating systems, processors, video cards, and other hardware-related information. However, the reliability of these statistics is questionable since they rely on voluntary participation in the survey by users.

Microsoft today released two new builds to Insiders running Windows 11 version 22H2. Builds 22621.1537 and 22624.1537 come as a cumulative update KB5022910 exclusively for the members of the Windows Insider Program on the Beta channel.

Windows Insider builds are pre-release versions of the OS that allow users to test out upcoming features and changes to the operating system before they are released to the general public. These builds often contain hidden features that are not yet visible or accessible to regular users. Those include features in a gradual roll-out, and work-in progress features. Here are the hidden gems that Windows 11 Build 23424 includes.

In addition to the Dev channel update, Microsoft today released Windows 11 Build 25330 to Windows Insiders in the Canary channel. It is notable for an updated device page in Settings, PrintScreen that now acts as a global hotkey for the Snipping Tool, and also includes improvements made to Windows Sandbox, RDP, and BitLocker. Also, you can now uninstall the Camera app if necessary.

Microsoft has released a new preview version, Windows 11 Build 23424, to Windows Insider program participants who are using the Dev channel. The release brings with it three-column widgets, Adaptive content brightness control, the option to automatically install preview updates, and several fixes.
