What's new in Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22000.120

New features and changes

  • A new Family widget for MSA accounts. It is available in all Windows languages and regions. It allows you to see recent activity from members of your Microsoft family group.
  • Microsoft is now rolling out notification badging for the Chat icon on the Taskbar. Not everyone will see it right away at first.
  • Made some adjustments to improve how the close button looks like in the Taskbar preview windows.
  • When changing backgrounds for Desktops, even if Settings is already open, using Choose Background via Task View will now force Settings to move to whichever Desktop you’re actually on.
  • Moved the Identify button in Display Settings to be right under the control for arranging your monitors (when you have multiple monitors connected) so it’s easier to find.
  • The updated File Explorer’s context menu that is now a little more compact for mouse users.
  • Updated the “New” button in the File Explorer’s command bar to use a dropdown menu style with all options in one list instead of a nested list.
  • Made some adjustments to improve the use of space and thumbnail sizes within ALT + Tab, Task View and snap assist.

Microsoft Store

Microsoft is rolling out a new Store app, version version 22107.1401.9.0. It first comes to the Dev channel. It comes with the following improvements.

  • Auto-scrolling on Spotlight: When browsing, we’ll automatically scroll through content so you can discover your next favorite app, movie, or game.
  • New gaming PDP (product detail page) design: We updated the way our game pages appear so you can see more info and images from your next favorite game.
  • New Ratings and Reviews dialog: We updated the ratings and reviews form and made it easier to provide feedback on the products you use.
