Note: Some of the new features are first coming to users with the "Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available" option enabled in Settings > Windows Update. They will reach the others a bit later.
Here's the changelog.
Changes for Insiders with the Windows Update option enabled
Changes and improvements
General
If you press and hold Shift + Ctrl and click an item in the Jump List on the Start menu or taskbar, the item will run as an administrator, just as if you had Shift+Ctrl-clicked the application icon. For example, if you right-click Windows Terminal and Shift+Ctrl-click the PowerShell entry, the PowerShell window will open as an administrator.
Dynamic Lighting
- If compatible devices are not connected, the Dynamic Lighting page in Settings will display placeholder text and the brightness and effects controls will be disabled.
- The Dynamic Lighting settings page now has direction options for the Wave effect - Forward, Backward, Outward, or Inward. The Gradient effect now has the option to select Forward.
Corrections
Taskbar
- One more fix was made for the non-working Win + <Number> shortcut.
- Fixed an issue resulting in the "X" button to close an app window on the taskbar not working for some Insiders.
Input
Fixed an issue where the mouse could become disconnected from the game window on multi-monitor systems after opening and then closing the Game Bar, preventing you from using the mouse in the game.
Changes for all insiders
Changes and improvements
Settings
Microsoft has brought back the ability to customize the Copilot key with a few changes. Now, the key will only be able to launch apps that have given permission to do so. This is to ensure that apps selected to open with the Copilot key know they will be used this way and meet security and privacy requirements. Microsoft will soon publish information for developers on how to opt out of launching an app via the Copilot key.
The setting is located in Settings > Personalization > Typing.
Fixes
Bluetooth
Fixed an issue where applications could become unresponsive due to a memory leak.
Product activation
Added new activation phone numbers for a number of regions.
Data Collector Sets
Fixed an issue where if an error occurred while starting or running the data collector, it was not possible to stop the collector because the corresponding command was not responding.
Windows kernel vulnerable driver blocklist file (DriverSiPolicy.p7b)
New drivers vulnerable to Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attacks have been added to the list.
Windows Hello for Business
Fixed an issue where the PIN reset feature did not work when selecting the "I forgot my PIN" link on the login screen.
MFP
Fixed the problem with printing unnecessary text of network commands when connecting the MFP via USB.
Microsoft Teams
Fixed an issue where you couldn't join meetings in Teams from a reminder in Outlook.
Country and Operator Settings Asset
Updated Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA) profiles for some mobile operators.
vmswitch
Fixed an issue where vmswitch would cause a BSOD. This occurs when you use Load Balancing and Failover (LBFO) teaming with two virtual switches in a virtual machine. In this case, one virtual switch uses Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV).
Applications with WebView2
Fixed an issue where WebView2 applications would not recognize input from Xbox 360 and Bluetooth controllers.
