Win11 22621.1485 preview version launches KB5023778 update overview

Microsoft has released an optional non-security preview update for Windows 11, KB5023778 (build 22621.1485), which adds a search box to the Start menu that matches the current color scheme, as well as a new feature called "Notifications for Microsoft Accounts".

"Notifications for Microsoft Accounts" appear in the sign-out popup in the Windows 11 Start menu and are used to promote Microsoft products and services, such as OneDrive and Microsoft 365. This feature is currently only available to a small number of users and will gradually expand in the coming months.

In addition, this preview update also contains many improvements and bug fixes, such as adding new features of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and solving the problem of Microsoft PowerPoint freezing.

Microsoft also warned that starting next month, there will no longer be optional, non-security preview builds of supported version 20H2 of Windows 10 and supported version 21H2 of Windows 10, only cumulative monthly security updates ( Known as the "'B" or Update Tuesday build), Windows 10 version 22H2 will continue to receive security and optional build updates.

Additionally, Microsoft is changing the way it delivers previews of its cumulative updates, and starting in April 2023, the company will release optional non-security updates on the fourth Tuesday of every month. In other words, users now have two "Patch Tuesdays," one mandatory and one optional.
