New Windows 11 Update Build 22504 - Custom Emoji


Hi guys and welcome to tech based in this video we're going to talk about the latest windows 11 insider preview build for the dev channel which is version 22k504 this is the latest build as I’ve said for the dev channel and this build brings up a lot of new changes and improvements and also fixes and I can assure that this build is a little bit more interesting than the other ones that we had in the previous weeks because we have a few interesting changes that we're going to talk.

About other windows 11 builds so those things being said let's get on with the video in this build we have some changes regarding the touch keyboard and basically Microsoft expanded the 13 themes that they had forth touch keyboard to now apply to other input experiences including time’s the emoji panel and voice typing so to test this out let's go into the settings append type in here touch keyboard and let’s see how we can apply those themes to other input experiences.

So for example I’m going to get this blue green theme for the input keyboard let me let me also enable the touch keyboard on my taskbar so we can see better that the theme is applied which looks really goods now let's test this out so basically now themes like this for the touch keyboard should be applied to other input experiences as Microsoft says but unfortunately this isn't available to all insiders because Microsoft is planning to monitor feedback regarding this changes so if I go for example in the search and use the keyboard combination windows h for the voice typing you can see that this is not applied because I don't have that on my computer on this build but of course you’re going to have on the screen some screenshots.

So you can see how that looks and I think it looks really good and I’m hoping that Microsoft will bring that sooner on my computer as well in this build Microsoft also added the ability for personalized combinations of emoji based on face and skin tones of family members couples with heart kissing and people holding hands so if we use the windows plus point keyboard combination we can type for example family here and if we select the emoji and click on plus we can as you can see we can do accustom face and skin tone we can choose the color of the skin tone which is unreally nice and basically we can do custom emoji’s with this new feature it looks really good.

I'm not sure how many of you will use this but it's really interesting again this isn’t available to all insiders because Microsoft is also planning to monitor the feedback and see how it lands before they push it to everyone if you remembering the last few builds Microsoft added anew mute icon in the taskbar for when you are in a Microsoft teams meeting well now you can use the windows atlas k keyboard combination on your keyboard to toggle that new icon which is really good of course again if you don't have the mute icon yet in your windows operating system you'll have to wait a bit in other versions because as I’ve said previously Microsoft is slowly rolling out these new features.

So uh former is not that great because I would like to test out all the new features as soon as they come out but that's all we can do in this build Microsoft is also introducing net framework4.8.1 that will bring native arm64support for the.net framework runtime this was a feature requested by a lot of developers Microsoft is also making change in the settings app so now on new installs the touch indicator option will now be turned off by default undersetting’s accessibility and mouse pointer and touch so as a part of this change Microsoft also added a link to this settings page from settings Bluetooth and devices and then touch and also they made it.

So that the press and hold visual is now always displayed regardless of the setting state and also in this build we have a new design or anew look for the your phone app for the your phone app in windows 11. as you can see here I don't have the urn phone applet set up with my phone but of course you’re going to have screenshots so that you know how the new design and how the new look will roll out basically the euro phone app is evolving with an updated design that puts notification sat the center the app can also bring yuan organized feed of your real-time notifications across all your most used apps you'll always have access to your messages calls and photos with the added benefit to stay on top of important messages and other notifications more efficiently.

With this glass able view and of course the app also adopts the windows 11 design so that the windows 11experience for this app will be very good regarding fixes Microsoft fixed an issue that caused the icons to not display correctly in the recommended section of start if you open start and immediate press shift plus f10 or the context menu the context menu should be aligned with the search box now though in my case I’m not really sure that it is aligned with the search box and a few other important fixes will reply to the taskbar they fixed an issue that was leading to an explore.exe crash in recent builds if there were issues loading the battery icon in the taskbar right clicking the date and time in the taskbar will now dismiss the notification center.

If it's open so that you can see the context menu options Solet’s see if that works now as you can see it works and it's really good because that was a little bit of problem and of course we have a whole bunch of other fixes that are not as important you're going to have the whole list of fixes in the article down below in the description so you can see the whole list from there and also in that article you'll be able to find out about the known issues in this build so thesis the latest windows 11 insider preview build for the dev channel which is 22k504.
