Windows 11 build 22533: NEW volume UI and hardware indicators

The latest windows 11 insider preview build for these channel which is the build22533 I’ve just installed it on my laptop as you're used to and in this article we're gonna go through all the changes all the improvements and I can assure that we have a few things that are really interesting in this new build.

First of all a bit of a sad news for some people is that Microsoft is resetting the rollout of the updated entry point for widgets with weather on the taskbar on the left side that was first introduced with build eight so as a result some insiders who had this enabled may find it has reverted to the original experience as seen in the released version of windows11.

I’m really not sure why Microsoft decided this but hopefully we will see that back again into our taskbars.

I still don’t have it on my computer but you're gonna have a screenshot on the screen to see how it looks.

So basically this update includes a new in progress call window with updated icons fonts and other up changes that align with the improved design of windows 11 and think that is really interesting

So forth for this build also Microsoft provides the iOS and if you want to download them you're going to have a link in the article that will redirect you to the Microsoft website where you just have to scroll down and select the edition.

 Basically the latest dev channel build if you want to download it very easily and you cause it to install it on other computers or vims and stuff like that now if we are talking about the most exciting thing that happened in this build for me personally is that Microsoft updated the fly-out design for the hardware indicators for brightness volume camera privacy camera on or off and airplane mode to align with windows 11 design principles as Microsoft states in their blog post.

Let me just show you how good this looks we have the new volume fly out which looks absolutely nice in my opinion it has a very small little animation rounded corners nice icon here is the brightness one you can see it here.

It looks really good that icon gets bigger and bigger as you turn on the brightness more and more think this is really nice and you will also find these new fly outs forth camera and also for the airplane mode so these new fly-outs will appear when you press the volume or brightness keys on your laptop.

If you have the dark theme they will appear like this and if you have the light theme they will appear as you'll see in the following screenshot I think this is really nice in my opinion so shout out to Microsoft finally they changed this it looks really nice.

You can now search for voice access from the taskbar and pin voice access to your taskbar or start like other apps as wells turn it on slash off so that is really nice just right click omit you can pin it on your taskbar and it will look like this it's really simple Microsoft is also expanding the rollout of extending the 13-touchkeyboard themes to times the emoji channel and voice typing first introduced with build 22504 to all windows and shadows.

If you don't know what that’s about if you use a certain theme for touch keyboard and stuff like that that theme will also be applied to voice typing emoji panel and so on so I think that is really nice and of course thesis now available for all windows insiders in the dev channel when you now press windows plus x on your keyboard or right click the start icon it will now say installed apps instead of apps and features.

You can find this option here if you click on it you'll be getting to the installed apps section from the settings app in windows 11.

Another interesting new thing is that you can now uninstall the clock app if you want this wasn't available before but now starting with this build you can now uninstall the clock app.

If you wants basically these are all the changes and improvements now let's talk about some fixes regarding some general fixes Microsoft fixed the knee sugar insiders may have seen the error zero x eight hundred seven zero one two a during a driver or firmware update.

They also addressed an issue causing insiders to be unable to sign in to certain apps sometimes such as the feedback hub they also fixed the text in the exploit protection description in the windows security app.

So it just refers to windows and not windows 10 that is also good they also fixed an issue resulting in not being able to import photos from certain cameras and mobile phones into the photos app it would just look forever seeing zero items found.

So far regarding windows sandbox closing it and then launching it again should no longer lead to having two windows sandbox icons in the taskbar one of them which is on-functional regarding the taskbar their-fi icon should appear more reliably in the taskbar.

Now if you have multiple monitors connected to your pc and right click on the date and time on the taskbar on your primary monitorexplorer.exe should no longer crash and also holding control and hovering your mouse over the task view icon in the taskbar should no longer make theexplorer.exe crash regarding settings.

They mitigated an underlying issue related to the use of mica and settings which was impacting overall reliability of the settings app in recent flights they also fixed an issue impacting some insiders which was resulting in settings crashing when trying to access the installed apps startup apps and the default apps pages and settings they mitigated an issue that was making the wheel paging settings crash when adding an action for an app and now you should no longer hear a crackle.

If playing audio and repeatedly clicking the volume slider in quick settings to change the volume regarding windowing if you hover your mouse over a truncated window title in all plus tab or task view a tool tip showing the full window name should will now appear regarding input they improved how the text color and buttons look with them being applied on a candidate window emoji panel and clipboard.

Before this some buttons text was hard to see with certain custom background colors voice typing launcher should no longer unexpectedly reappear after clicking the microphone icon to invoke voice typing for insiders with the updated input switcher experience accessibility tools like magnifier and narrator should work better with it now so of course in this build we also have some known issues but I’m gonna leave you a link to that in the article down below in description where you'll see all the lists and all the changes of course plus the known issues that you can find in this new windows 11 insider preview build for these channel in the Microsoft official blog post so this is build22533.

I’m really excited for this one I’m really happy that they finally updated the volume brightness and other flouts that were really old from windows 10.
