Windows 11 version 22H2 has received KB5022914 in the Beta channel. It brings with it more Widgets, including Messenger, Spotify, Phone Link and Xbox (Game Pass). Besides, there are new Group Policies and fixes.

Microsoft has revealed that they officially allows using Windows 11 on Macs with Apple M1 and M2 processors with help of  Parallels Desktop 18. In fact, Mac users have been able to use it in this way for long, but now there is an official guide for that. And this is the only way to run Windows 11 on a device with an Apple Silicon processor.

Microsoft has high hopes for AI and its ability to improve software. The company is actively adding artificial intelligence to many of its products. You may have heard of the AI-powered Bing and Office apps. Windows 11 is also getting some improvements in the same fashion.

A great improvement is coming to Windows 11.  In addition to the ability to close an app normally from the taskbar right-click menu, it will soon allow you to force-terminate the process.

As you may have already learned from the build change log, Windows 11 build 25300 includes a set of experimental snap layout implementations. You may or may not have one of them out of the box, but there is also a high chance that you won't see the change. Microsoft has made it available to a small select group of Insiders. Luckily, you can enable them manually and switch between them.

Windows 11 stable finally allows using Widgets with a local account. So if you aren't a fan of Microsoft Accounts, all you need to do is to install the latest Windows Web Experience Pack. The new feature comes with version 423.3000.10.0.

The Redmond software giant has released new updates for supported versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11. Traditionally, there are fixes and general improvements, as such updates don't aim to ship new features.

‘Moment 2’ is a feature update to Windows 11, officially known as “February 2023 Update”. It is not a traditional major release, but a portion of fresh features to add something new to the OS. Microsoft is using these “Moment” updates to deliver new functionality faster, without users having to wait for a couple of years to receive improvements.
