The update also enhances the lock screen widget experience, allowing users to discover more widgets. However, it is noted that the new Start menu may have reliability issues and that live captions could crash during live translation on Copilot+ PCs. Microsoft is encouraging users to provide feedback through the Feedback Hub to help improve the system.
In addition to these new features, the update includes general improvements such as better performance logging for sluggish PCs and changes to Click to Do, including the removal of the search box. The Settings app has gained a new privacy feature that allows users to monitor which third-party applications are utilizing generative AI models.
Known issues include installation rollbacks for some users, touch navigation problems with the new Start menu, and issues with Xbox Controllers via Bluetooth. Microsoft is actively working on fixes for these problems and plans to address them in future updates.
In summary, the release of Build 26120.4741 emphasizes Microsoft's commitment to improving accessibility and user experience in Windows 11, particularly for those with disabilities, while also addressing ongoing technical issues in the operating system.
