Windows 11 23H2 build 22635.4082 has just been released in the Windows Insider Beta Channel. As the last major update before the upcoming Windows 11 24H2, which is set to launch in a month, this build introduces several noteworthy features and improvements. Here’s a breakdown of the most significant changes:
What’s new in Windows 11 23H2 Build 22635.4082
One of the critical updates in this build is the ability to turn off notification suggestions for specific apps. Now, users have more control over their notifications and can easily disable them from the pop-up itself or through the list of senders in Settings > System > Notifications. This feature, known as “Notification Suggestions,” becomes available once you’ve received a notification from a particular app, offering more flexibility and customization in managing notifications.
Another significant update is on the lock screen, where the media controls have been moved to the bottom center when something is playing. This design tweak aligns with the modern look of Windows 11, making it easier for users to manage media playback directly from the lock screen.
In the latest Windows 11 23H2 build, Microsoft redesigned the “Delivery Optimization” page in Settings > Windows Update > Advanced Options. This update aligns the page with the overall design principles of Windows 11, featuring a more modern and streamlined interface.
The redesign enhances the visual appeal and improves usability, making it easier for users to navigate and configure how updates and files are distributed across their devices. These adjustments are essential for ensuring that system performance remains optimal, as they allow for better control over network bandwidth and update management.
Bug fixes
This build addresses several critical issues along with the visual and functional updates. Notably, it fixes an issue that caused explorer.exe to crash when closing applications from the taskbar. Another fix resolves a problem where the Start Menu would fail to launch. These improvements aim to enhance system stability and ensure a smoother user experience.
