Intro

Hello everyone in this blog we're going to look at the new features and changes that Microsoft is setting on windows 11 build 22543 as always these changes are not tied to specific release of windows 11 but many of these are expected to arrive in the next feature update and some may even arrive before the next release.

Lock screen new media controls

What's new on windows 11 build 22543 in this release Microsoft is updating the media controls that appears in the lock screen for supported apps using the design that we're now seeing across windows 11.

When you lock the computer and you have music playing on a supported app you will see an interface to control the music as a one you see right here.

Snap layouts changes

Windows 11 build 22543 also tweaks the visual effects when resizing apps that are using snap layouts so if you're using snap layouts as you can see right here when you now try to resize you’re now going to see the icons for the apps on top of the acrylic backgrounds.

New settings on build 22543

Part of the settings app changes windows 11 build 22543 introduces new design changes for the storage spaces and disk and volume settings to align with the new design that we're seeing across the operating system.

so this is how the storage spaces page looks like have already configured a storage pool and this is how the new layout looks like you still have all the same option it just looks a little bit different with new iconography which you can also see it throughout some of the pages across the settings app.


Let me just step back for a second and if we go to settings you will see the focus assist has a new icon if I switch to another computer you will see that focus assists using a different icon this is testable version of windows 11.

Let me just jump one more time into storage spaces to show a little bit how the layout looks like so we have the rename option right there and you can add in space but the layout is still same as before which was already updated if you go to the properties page everything is still the same because this one again was already updated and now let's jump into the disks and volumes page where you're going to see a similar layout as in storage spaces.

So basically this is the new layout but if you go to properties everything is still the same as before because it was already updated.
