Microsoft Releases Update KB5022914 For Windows 11 Insider Beta – Brings New Widget Support!

According to the schedule that has been determined by Microsoft, this week Windows 11 Insider Beta users will get a new update where the update presented is update KB5022914.

This update is as usual available for two Windows 11 22H2 builds, which include builds 22621 and 22623, and when this update is installed, the OS build will change to 22621.1325 & Build 22623.1325 for each build.

Okay, discussing the improvements that are presented through this update, Microsoft has now started rolling out Widget Preview support for a number of applications such as Messenger, Spotify, Phone Link and Xbox for Windows Insider Beta Channel users, where with this support, users can get more varied Widgets to use.

Meanwhile, for you developers, considering that Microsoft has already released Windows App SDK 1.2you can already create Widgets from your application, to be presented later in Windows 11 Widgets, you can see the documentation on the page following.

In addition to the presence of Widget support in Windows 11 Insider Beta, specifically for users of Windows 11 Insider Build 22623, there are a number of other changes which include:

• The presence of AI-powered recommended content on the Start Menu, specifically for you users who are connected to Azure Active Directory (AAD).

• Fixed Taskbar error after changing screen resolution.

Meanwhile, there are other improvements coming to both builds, both 22621 and 22623, which include:

• We fixed compatibility issues that affected some printers. Those printers used Windows Graphical Device Interface (GDI) printer drivers. Those drivers did not completely adhere to GDI specifications.
• We fixed a reliability issue that occurred when you used Task View.
• We fixed an issue that affected copying from a network to a local drive. Copying was slower than expected for some users.
• We provided support for the United Mexican States’ daylight-saving time change order for 2023.
• We fixed a date information issue. It affected the format of dates sent between Windows and some versions of the Heimdal Kerberos library.
• We fixed an issue that affected provisioning packages. They failed to apply in certain circumstances when elevation was required.
• We fixed an issue that affected which folders appeared in the Browse for Folder picker.
• We fixed an issue that affected File Explorer. When you used Shift + Tab or Shift + F6, the input focus did not move.
• We fixed an issue that affected the user interface (UI). The volume up and volume down commands from a Bluetooth keyboard did not display.
• We improved the reliability of Windows after you installed an update.
• We fixed an issue that might have affected lsass.exe. It might have stopped responding when it sent a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) query to a domain controller that had a very large LDAP filter.
• We fixed an issue that affected Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). Using a provisioning package for bulk provisioning failed.
• We fixed an issue that affected the software keyboard. It did not appear in the Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) after a Push-button reset (factory reset). This type of reset required an external keyboard to be attached to provide credentials.
• We fixed an issue that affected AppV. It stopped file names from having the correct letter case (uppercase or lowercase).
• We fixed an issue that affected Universal Print’s Configuration Service Provider (CSP). A command prompt window appeared when you installed a printer.
• We fixed an issue that might have affected the touch keyboard and the PIN entry keyboard. You might not have been able to use them to enter text when you signed in to your device.
• We fixed an issue that displayed a blue screen during video playback. This occurs after you set high dynamic range (HDR) on your display.
• We fixed an issue that affected parity virtual disks. Using Server Manager to create them failed
• We fixed an issue that affected IE mode. The text on the status bar was not always visible.
• We fixed an issue that affected the Color filters setting. When you selected Inverted, the system set it to Grayscale instead.
• We fixed an issue that affected Microsoft Edge. The issue removed conflicting policies for Microsoft Edge. This occurred when you set the MDMWinsOverGPFlag in a Microsoft Intune tenant and Intune detected a policy conflict.
• We fixed an issue that affected the Appx State Repository. When you removed a user profile, the cleanup was incomplete. Because of that, its database grew as time passes. This growth might have caused delays when users signed in to multi-user environments like FSLogix.

So especially for you Windows 11 Insider Beta users, it’s a good idea to update your system to this latest build to get new Third Party Widget support and a variety of fixes that are also present in this build.
