Changes in Builds 22621.4108 and 22631.4108, 22H2/23H2

Features rolled out gradually

  • Sharing: Microsoft is rolling out the ability to quickly share content with your Android device from the Share dialog. For the feature to work, you need to link your Android device to Windows using the Link to Windows app for Android and Phone Link for PC.
  • File Explorer fixes:
    • When using the Win + E keyboard shortcut, the screen reader might report that the panel already has focus, or that focus could not be set at all.
    • When using the Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut,  the search did not start.
    • Fixed an issue where keyboard focus could be lost when using the Shift + Tab shortcut  to navigate the taskbar.
    • Screen readers did not indicate that you were opening or viewing items that were in the breadcrumb trail in Open or Save dialog boxes.
    • Screen readers did not indicate when opening or viewing items in column headers.
  • Narrator: Improved Narrator Scan Mode. This is especially useful when using Microsoft Edge and reading large documents. To use Scan Mode, you must first turn on Narrator with WIN + Ctrl + Enter. Then turn on Scan Mode by pressing Caps Lock + Space bar when Narrator is runing.
  • Voice input: You can now dictate the characters you type with greater speed. You can also now edit text more flexibly using dictation commands such as selecting, deleting, and navigating text.

Fixes available to all users

  • Input Method Editor (IME): Fixed a memory leak that occurred when closing a window while keyboard focus was set to a drop-down list.
  • Country and Operator Settings Asset: Updated Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA) profiles for some mobile operators.
  • Bluetooth: External devices lose connection when certain Bluetooth policies are applied.
  • Bind Filter Driver: The system may stop responding when browsing symbolic links.
  • File Explorer:  The navigation pane did not update when browsing folders that were in a shell namespace extension.
  • Unified Write Filter (UWF) and Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM): The SCCM task to re-enable UWF failed due to a deadlock in UWF. This prevented the device from rebooting at the expected time.
  • BSOD when using hibernation: The laptop may become unresponsive after waking up from sleep mode. This happens if you close and open the lid several times.
  • Microsoft Entra Single Sign-On (SSO): The single sign-on notification required by the European Digital Market Act (DMA) was appearing too frequently. This happens when authenticating with a certificate. For more information, see Upcoming changes to Windows single sign-on
