New Windows 11 Build 23430 – New Taskbar Option, System Tray with No Date and Time and Fixes (Dev)

In this article, we will talk about the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build for the Dev Channel, which is Build 23430.

New Notification

Urgent or important notifications that breakthrough when do not disturb is turned on while using apps at full screen will now display a “view notification” button to view the content of the notification for privacy.

Content Adaptive Brightness

In the previous flight, Microsoft documented that Content Adaptive Brightness Control (CABC) works on desktop PCs – however, it does not. Content Adaptive Brightness Control (CABC) also needs to be enabled by the OEM (the manufacturer of the device). As a result, this feature is not available on all laptop or 2-in-1 devices.

Settings Changes

A limit of 20 most recent tabs has been introduced under Settings > Multitasking to show tabs in ALT + TAB and Snap Assist.

New Taskbar Option

Microsoft is introducing a new setting under Settings > Privacy & security > For developers to enable end task when right-clicking an app on the taskbar. This setting is in Build 23430 but does not currently work when the feature is toggled on. It will be fixed in a future flight.

System Tray with No Date and Time

In this Build, Microsoft is also adding the Option to Hide Time and Date in the System Tray inside Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time.

Fixes in this Build
