A lot of new features coming to Windows 11
Indeed, Windows Insiders that actively test software on the Release Preview Channel are being updated to Windows 11 version 22H2 22621.1483 (KB5023778). This build includes more ad notifications in the Start menu for those logged into a Microsoft account with handy reminders such as backup your files with OneDrive. For the time being, this feature is only available to a small audience right now, and it will deploy more broadly in the coming months. You should know that some devices might notice different visual treatments as Microsoft gathers the necessary feedback. Furthermore, the new Bing Chat shortcut experience to Edge arrives in the search box on the taskbar, making it easier for us to access the feature.

We have to remind you about the many new features and improvements added to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint as well.
