Apart from releasing Windows 11 Insider Canary Build 25346, Microsoft also released a new update for Windows Insider Dev Channel users where the update presented will change the OS Build to 23440.

Now in this update itself, there are a number of new features that were previously introduced in Windows 11 Insider Canary Build 25346, such as the presence of the Diagnose network problem option in the Windows 11 Network system tray icon, as well as the presence of additional information from the Microsoft Blog in the Recommended items section of the Start Menu.

• You can now hide the time and date in the system tray. You can turn this on by right-clicking on the system tray clock and choosing “Adjust date and time”.
• We are exploring a new hover behavior for the search box and search highlight glow. The proposed interaction model aims to create a more engaging search experience by invoking the search flyout when you hover over the gleam search box. This behavior can be adjusted by right-clicking on the taskbar, choosing “Taskbar settings” and adjusting your preferred search box experience.
• Fixed a few explorer.exe crashes that were impacting taskbar reliability.
• Updated the Widgets invocation logic, so that if you brush your mouse quickly across the Widgets icon in the taskbar while traveling somewhere else, it should be less likely to accidentally open Widgets. As a reminder, if you’d prefer that Widgets doesn’t launch on hover, there is an option for that in the Widgets settings.
• Fixed an issue where the context menu was opening far away from where your mouse had right-clicked sometimes.
• Fixed an issue which was causing some of the icons in File Explorer and the context menu to be blurry after DPI changes.
• Fixed an issue where the New button in the command bar might not show anything in the dropdown.
• CTRL + Mouse wheel scrolling should now resize the thumbnails.

• Shift + Right click on a file or folder should open “Show more options” again now.
• Adjusted how Narrator was reading out the access keys after pressing the menu key, to make it clearer. Fixed an issue where the cursor wasn’t displaying correctly in the search box when using an Arabic display language.
• Fixed an issue where the touch keyboard didn’t correctly recognize a hardware keyboard was available in some cases.
• Fixed a shellexperiencehost.exe crash when disconnecting from another monitor using WIN + P.
• Fixed an issue where 2FA codes weren’t being recognized if they were in parentheses.
• Fixed an issue that was causing live captions to crash on first launch due to an issue impacting registry data retrieval.
• Adding enhanced language recognition support in Language & region settings will now install the right files on ARM64 devices. You will no longer need to restart live captions after switching between caption languages ​​installed from Language & region settings. However, you will need to uninstall any “speech pack” entries in Settings > Apps > Installed apps which were installed before the Language & region settings fix and re-install from Language & region settings.
• Fixed an issue in Language & region settings that caused language feature installation progress to be hidden.
• Fixed an issue causing live captions’ Add a language menu icon and label to overlap.
• Double clicking Task Manager’s title bar to maximize the window should work again now.
• Fixed a Task Manager crash which was impacting Insiders in the last couple flights.
• Fixed an issue that was leaving voice access’s window empty after opening.
• Fixed an issue where voice access was crashing when using the command to go to the start of a document.
• Fixed an issue where Narrator’s CTRL + Narrator + Home and Ctrl + Narrator + End commands to move to the beginning and end of text weren’t working correctly in Edge.

So there are a lot of them right? A number of improvements have also been presented in this build, such as one of which is now when the user presses Shift + Right-click on files, the Show more option will be displayed immediately, as well as the support for the CTRL + Scroll button on the current Mouse. will change the Thumbnail size.
