In this article, we will talk about the latest Windows 11 Update for the Main Release, which is Build 22000.1098 or KB5018418.
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.
Highlights
- We address security issues for your Windows operating system.
- New! Adds more dynamic Widgets content to your taskbar with notification badging. If you open the Widgets board while a badge displays on the taskbar, a banner appears at the top of the board. It provides more information about what triggered the notification badge.
- New! Enhanced Search visual treatments on the Taskbar to improve discoverability. Available to a small audience initially and deploying more broadly in the months that follow. Some devices may notice different visual treatments as we gather feedback.
You can manually enable these new visuals using this command in CMD (with Vivetool):
vivetool /enable /id:39263329 /variant:X (1, 3 or 5)- Addresses an issue that requires you to reinstall an app if you did not get the app from the Microsoft Store. This issue occurs after you upgrade to a newer OS.
- Addresses a rare error that leads to a blue screen. This occurs after you change the display mode while you are using more than one display.
- Addresses an issue that forces the IE mode tabs in a session to reload.
- Addresses an issue that affects IE mode after you open a PDF file. When you try to open a different page using the same browser window, the page will not open in that browser window.
- Addresses an issue that might cause a black screen to appear on your display. This might occur when you use a pen to turn on high dynamic range (HDR).
- Addresses an issue that affects the touch keyboard. The touch keyboard immediately closes when you tap to switch apps.
- Addresses a known issue that affects daylight saving time in Chile. This issue might affect the time and dates used for meetings, apps, tasks, services, transactions, and more.
- Addresses an issue that affects USB scanners. Scanners might not be available after Windows restarts or resumes from sleep.
