Greetings, Windows Insiders! Microsoft has rolled out the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23612 in the Dev Channel, bringing a host of innovative features and enhancements. In this blog post, we'll dive into the exciting additions that promise to elevate your Windows 11 experience.
One standout feature in Build 23612 is the enhanced weather experience on the lock screen. Microsoft is introducing dynamic, interactive weather updates, providing users with more information at their fingertips.
Hovering over the weather display reveals additional details, and tapping or clicking on the weather card opens Microsoft Edge with the full forecast in MSN Weather.
This feature, available by default, caters to personalization preferences, ensuring a seamless experience for users who want to stay informed with just a glance.
Microsoft is making Windows 11 more accessible with extended language support for voice access. Users can now utilize voice commands in languages such as French (France), French (Canada), German, Spanish (Spain), and Spanish (Mexico). The inclusion of new languages under settings on the voice access bar enhances the user experience for a broader audience.
Multi-display support has been significantly improved, allowing users to utilize voice access features on multiple displays. The grid overlay feature, previously limited to the primary display, now facilitates easy interaction with multiple screens. Users can seamlessly switch between displays using voice commands, enhancing productivity and efficiency.
Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23612 introduces voice shortcuts, enabling users to create custom commands tailored to their needs. This feature is currently available in English, allowing users to map single actions or sequences of actions to voice commands.
Whether it's opening a URL or performing a series of actions in sequence, users can easily create and manage their voice shortcuts. The intuitive process involves saying "what can I say", navigating to the "Voice shortcuts" tab, and creating personalized commands.
This feature empowers users to streamline tasks and navigate their Windows environment with unprecedented ease.
With the unveiling of Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23612, Microsoft continues to refine and enhance the Windows 11 experience. The addition of a richer weather experience on the lock screen, extended language support for voice access, and the introduction of custom voice shortcuts showcase Microsoft's commitment to delivering a more intuitive and personalized operating system.
Windows Insiders can look forward to these exciting features as Microsoft gathers valuable feedback and prepares for a broader rollout in the future. Stay tuned for more updates as Windows 11 evolves into an even more dynamic and user-friendly platform.
