| 5 expected features in the upcoming Windows 11 update |
Last Thursday, Microsoft released the cumulative update for Windows 11 (Windows 11 22H2 KB5022360) which contains 15 fixes. This update is part of Microsoft's January 2022 Monthly "C" Update, which will allow users to test an upcoming patch called "Patch Tuesday 2023" in February.
This update fixes an issue affecting image files you find in Taskbar Search that prevents those images from opening, an issue that searches for files based on their content, and other issues.
Moreover; Microsoft has released important updates for the Windows Insider Program. This allows them to try out features before their final rollout. Microsoft is using the Moment codename to introduce new features and improvements in the Windows 11 (22H2) version of the operating system. Below we list 5 possible features that will be available in the next Windows 11 update:
1- The taskbar has been optimized for tablets:
Microsoft will introduce an improved taskbar on Windows 11 tablets that will appear in two different modes: minimized and expanded. The taskbar in enhanced mode has larger icons, making them easier to touch. In folded mode, most of the icons disappear and only the important ones like the battery indicator appear. You can switch between the two taskbar states by swiping up or down.
2- Tabbed interface in the Notepad application:
Microsoft added tabs to the File Explorer app last year in Windows 11 22H2 Update. Tabs can also be added to Notepad. Microsoft is currently testing tabs in the Notes app as part of its beta program (Windows Insiders), and there's a good chance it will be available in an upcoming Moments update.
Just like File Explorer lets you open multiple tabs, Notepad's tabbed interface lets you open multiple folders in a single application window, with each folder having a tab, making it easier to switch between them rather than opening a new one. windows for each application.
3- Set animated icons in the application:
Adding (animated icons) to the (Settings) application may be one of the upcoming features for Windows 11. Each animated icon has a unique visual effect that matches the type of icon. For example, the Windows Update icon rotates when clicked, and network and Internet icons populate when clicked.
4- Notes on the condition of the battery:
Microsoft has also added a new page in the Settings app with battery health recommendations to help you conserve battery power in general. These suggestions include: reducing screen time, adjusting sleep settings, using dark mode, and other settings to improve battery life.
5- Add a screen recording tool:
Microsoft has added the app (Snipping Tool) to Windows 11 to take screenshots with it. The scope of application functionality should not be limited to this in the future, as Microsoft is currently testing the ability to create screenshots in the Snipping Tool application in its beta program (Windows Insiders) via Developer Channel (Dev Channel), the new screen recording tool Die Application may include a screen recording tool in Next update.
With this application, you can choose which part of your screen should be recorded before your computer starts recording. After recording, you can preview, save and share the clip.
