In this article, we will talk about the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build for the Dev Channel of the Windows Insider Program, which is Build 22543.
What’s new in Build 22543
- Microsoft added more natural voices for Narrator. The new voices are named Jenny and Aria and can easily be installed from the Narrator Settings. For more information about this, check this article from the Microsoft Website.
- New Media Controls in the Lock Screen have been added. They will always use the Dark Theme to complement the visual style of the Lock Screen and will match the Quick Access Media Controls Design. This will only be available to some Insiders at first.
- Microsoft also updated the experience of resizing app windows in snap layouts by overlaying the relevant app icon on top of the acrylic background. Snap some windows using the snap assist, resize the snapped window layout using the buffer and watch the other snapped windows go out-of-focus overlaid with their app icon.
- Using the WIN + ALT + K keyboard shortcut to mute your call will now show a confirmation flyout.
- The input switcher improvements announced with Build 22518, including updated design with an acrylic background, is now available to all Insiders in the Dev Channel.
- When doing a full build upgrade, the progress ring animation has been updated, aligning with the updated boot screen animation.
- Microsoft also updated the design of System > Storage > Disks & Volume and Storage Spaces in Settings to align with the overall design of Settings in Windows 11. Certain options for the drive, volume, and space, like properties, are also now directly available inline on these pages as buttons without having to click that entry first.
