Additionally, the update removes the option to manage or clear Bing search history directly from the Settings menu, redirecting users to the Privacy dashboard for such tasks. Key fixes have also been implemented, addressing issues with the Start menu, Taskbar, System Tray, Lock screen widgets, and multi-finger touchpad gestures. However, some users may face challenges such as rollback errors during the update process or app crashes linked to the dao360.dll file.
Known issues persist, including unexpected blank icons in the Start menu and incorrect color displays in File Explorer when using dark mode. Users on AMD or Intel-powered devices may experience delays with intelligent text actions in Click to Do, and live captions may crash during translation attempts. Xbox Controller users may encounter bug checks when using Bluetooth, but a solution is available by uninstalling the specific driver through Device Manager.
In summary, this release is part of Microsoft's ongoing efforts to refine Windows 11, with a focus on improving user experience and functionality. The company is actively seeking feedback from Insiders to identify and resolve any remaining issues. As Microsoft continues to roll out these updates, users can expect further enhancements and fixes in future builds
