Tutte le info e come installarlo senza attendere! [anche sui PC non supportati]).

Ovviamente lo sviluppo del sistema operativo continua e proprio da pochi minuti Microsoft ha provveduto a rilasciare una nuova build (versione 22538) dedicata a Windows 11 per gli utenti iscritti al programma Dev Channel implementando le seguenti novità:

Updates for voice access

We first introduced voice access in Build 22518. Voice access is a new experience to control your PC with just voice. With today’s build, we have some updates for voice access for Windows Insiders to try out.

Using touch keyboard with voice access

You can use the touch keyboard with voice access to:

• Spell words e.g., names and email addresses.
• Enter numbers e.g., phone numbers and addresses.
• Enter punctuation marks and symbols.
• Enter emojis.

To do this	Say this
Open touch keyboard	“Show keyboard”
Hide touch keyboard	“Hide keyboard”
Click a key on touch keyboard	“Click [number]”, “[number]” e.g., “Click 2, “2”

You can only use the following voice access commands while using the touch keyboard:

• Voice access on/ off commands e.g., “voice access wake up”, “voice access sleep”, “turn off microphone”, “turn off voice access”.
• Commands to use touch keyboard e.g., “hide keyboard,” “click 2”.

Changes and Improvements

• The updated entry point for Widgets with weather on the taskbar first introduced with Build 22518 should now be available to all Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel.
• In ALT + TAB, Task view, and Snap assist, the focus rectangle that shows what is selected will now use your chosen accent color on your PC.

• Our updated IMEs and touch keyboard designs will now show on the Lock screen and where you enter your account information such as username and password. This change is currently rolling out to a subset of Windows Insiders at first and we’ll expand over time based on feedback.

• We are beginning to roll out the ability for voice typing to download Speech Packs from the Microsoft Store for device-based speech recognition that provides a better performance of transcription.
• We’re experimenting with improving the discoverability of certain input features in various areas across the OS.
• For those who need it, you can access ncpa.cpl directly again.
• We have added HTTPS boot for Hyper-V Generation 2 VMs. The feature is enabled by default.
• For PCs that support it, display calibration is now directly available under Settings > Display > HDR instead of having to open a separate Settings page.

Fixes

[Search]

• We’ve done some work to address an issue wherein typing when using Search from Start or after clicking the Search icon Taskbar would not actually start a Search, as no text was input.

[Input]

• Removed the “try out your setup” box from Personalization > Text Input > Custom Theme, since it didn’t work.
• The customized text color from Settings > Personalization > Text input > Custom theme” should actually apply to the text in the candidate window / clipboard history/ emoji panel now.
• Mitigated an issue which was impacting the performance for Insiders with the new input switcher when rapidly switching input back and forth.

• Explorer.exe shouldn’t crash now when closing snap groups which include 3 or 4 apps.
