In this article, we will talk about the latest Windows 11 Update for the Main Release, which is the Moment 2 Update.
For those of you who are not familiar with how Windows 11 Updates for the Main Release work, I will explain it to you in the following lines.
Every month Windows 11 has a B and a C Release for Windows 11. Usually, the B Release is launched on the second Tuesday of the month and contains all the features that were tested in the previous month’s C Release.
First of all, in this Build, you have a complete set of Moment 2 Features. This will include:
- Tablet Optimized Taskbar
- New System Tray
- Live File Explorer Search
- Energy Recommendations
- Task Manager Search, Theme and Updated UI
- Dropdown menu for the Touch Keyboard in Settings
Particular to this Update, you will able to notice these changes/fixes:
- New! This update adds the new Tamil Anjal keyboard for the Tamil language. To add it, make sure Tamil (Singapore), Tamil (Malaysia), Tamil (Sri Lanka), or Tamil (India) appears in Settings > Time & Language > Language & Region. Select the ellipses (…) next to the language. Select Language Options. Add Tamil Anjal (QWERTY) to the list of keyboards.
