Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22538 se implementa en Dev Channel

Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22538 is now available on the Dev Channel. This release focuses on improvements to Voice Access, Voice Typing, a couple of interface changes, and fixes some issues reported by users.

Voice Access now supports touch keyboard. The app displays tears with a number above each key to help the user. You can use it to dictate names, email addresses, phone numbers, punctuation marks, emojis, etc. Speech packs for voice typing are available from the Microsoft Store.

UI Related Improvements

The Widgets panel icon will display weather information, such as temperature, directly on the taskbar. Introduced in build 22518, the feature is now available to all Insiders on the Dev Channel. If you have the taskbar aligned to the left, the Widgets icon changes to represent the weather information.

Note: I’m not sure how this happened, but the Widgets button, which used to be on the left edge before today’s update, is back on the taskbar centered on my VM and doesn’t show the weather either. The changelog says that these issues have been fixed in the update, but it looks like they’ve actually been introduced in this build for me.

The lock screen will display the touch keyboard and IMEs, which you can use to enter your username and credentials. This feature is being A/B tested, so only some Insiders will be able to use the option.

The new Alt + Tab interface, along with Task View and Snap assist now use your theme’s accent color for the focus rectangle, that is, the border that appears when you select a window.

The Network Connections Control Panel applet is back, you can access it by typing ncpa.cpl from the Start menu.

The option to adjust Display Calibration can be accessed from the Settings > Display > HDR page. Hyper-V Generation 2 virtual machines now support HTTPS boot, which is enabled by default.

Fixes in Windows 11 Build 22538

Using the hardware keys to adjust the volume level should no longer cause Explorer to crash. The Wi-Fi signal indicators in Quick Settings will reflect the signal strength bars correctly. Fixed a bug that caused text to appear in the Settings app and elsewhere. Browse mode on text boxes does not cause Narrator to crash. Delayed audio sync issue that occurred when playing a video after the computer woke up from sleep or hibernate mode has been mitigated. Attempting to open folders named Advanced will no longer open Advanced Sharing Settings. The search function should correctly recognize the entry when you access it from the search button or start menu.

Problems with Windows 11 Build 22538

Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22538 still has some known issues from previous builds. But the new version brings a couple of new bugs. The date and time and quick settings icons are misaligned. Check the screenshot for comparison, you can see the icons are aligned near the top instead of their usual center position.

The caret button to show hidden icons is shown twice, so 2 arrow icons appear in the system tray. Only of these buttons are functional, the one on the left, the other shows the tooltip when you mouse over it, but is otherwise unresponsive. Microsoft has acknowledged these as known issues in the announcement post, and is investigating them for possible solutions. In the meantime, users are advised to reboot the system as a temporary solution, however that didn’t work for me, YMMV.

Some users report that Task Manager crashes when trying to access the Performance tab. It doesn’t happen on my virtual machine. My virtual machine took just over 2 hours to download and install the new build. If your Windows update seems to be stuck for an hour or more, that’s normal. A Microsoft representative says that Insider Builds are full updates, meaning not cumulative updates which are much faster and as such are slow to install.
