Changes and improvements

Notifications

You can now turn off notification suggestions from individual apps. You can tap the three-dot button (…) inside a notification to turn it off like any other notification, or go to the list of notification senders in Settings > System > Notifications and turn it off there (it’s called Notification suggestions in the list). Note that this option will only appear in the list of senders once you’ve received at least one such suggestion.

Lock screen

Media controls now appear at the bottom of the lock screen when playing media.

Settings

The Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Delivery Optimization page has been updated to match the Windows 11 style.
