Despite it being a Moment 3 update, the features and improvements aren’t as big as Moment 2. However, the update still includes some noteworthy features. Here’s a list:
Widget board gets improvement
Windows 11’s widget board has received some cosmetic changes. The canvas size is now bigger and now supports three columns, depending upon the display configuration. Apart from that the MSN feed has moved to a new dedicated Feed section for widgets.
Microsoft has also added a new animation for the widget icon on the taskbar. The animations are triggered when you hover your mouse over the widget.
Note that the update does not include the much-awaited desktop support for widgets.
Design changes for Two-step authentication notification
Microsoft has added a new copy-and-paste feature for 2FA codes directly from the notification. After the update, users will receive a new ‘Copy’ button for copying the code and pasting it anywhere they want.
Three new options for touch keyboard
Microsoft has made changes to the ‘Show the touch keyboard when there’s no keyboard attached’ checkbox. It has been replaced with a new dropdown menu which includes three new options — Never, When no keyboard attached and Always.
Changes to Taskbar
Microsoft is adding a new VPN indicator on the Windows Taskbar. It will now notify users when the device is connected to VPN. But, it may not work for all the available configurations.
Apart from that, the Taskbar now also includes the option to show seconds in the clock.
