Changes and improvements

Start Menu

• • Based on Insider feedback, we've improved how suggested websites appear in the Start menu to show the highest quality sites based on your browsing history.

Spotlight on lock screen

• • Microsoft is testing several design options for the "Like the image that you se" area that appears in the upper-right corner of the lock screen. Now, you can get additional information about an image from Spotlight by clicking the "Like icon" button.

Spotlight on the desktop

• • Microsoft is continuing to make changes to the way the Spotlight icon on your desktop works. You can now quickly get more information about the background image you're using by hovering over it or clicking the "Learn more about this image" icon.

Share dialog

• • Now when you send links or web content through the Share window, a preview of the content will be displayed.

    

Fixes

Taskbar

• • Fixed an issue where window thumbnails would not display when hovering over certain open applications on the taskbar.

Microsoft Edge Game Assist

Microsoft is inviting Insiders to test the preview version of Microsoft Edge Game Assist.

Game Assist lets you display a fully functional Edge browser window in the Game Bar overlay in Windows 11. With Game Assist, you can find game guides, access services like Discord or Spotify, and watch videos while you play. The browser window can be pinned on top of a game, just like any other Game Bar widget.

Game Assist uses the same profile as the Edge browser, meaning you'll have access to all your saved data, including bookmarks, browsing history, cookies, autofill data, and more. Game Assist is designed to take up as little screen space as possible, but you can resize it or move it around to suit your preferences.
