Microsoft today released the KB5022910 cumulative update for Win11 for members of the Windows Insider program in the Beta channel, with the version numbers Build 22621.1537 and Build 22624.1537 after the update.
In its official changelog released today, Microsoft once again highlighted the differences between the two versions:
- Win11 Build 22624.1537: Enable new features / new functions by default
- Win11 Build 22621.1537: Disable new features by default / New features
The preview version update is as follows:
Introduce keyboard shortcuts for the File Manager right-click menu
Users can see the new keyboard shortcuts in the XAML menu that pops up when they right-click in the File Manager.
Each access key will correspond to a letter in the display name. After right-clicking a file, the user can press the menu key on the keyboard (introduced by Wikipedia) in the right-click menu that pops up and can quickly perform the tasks in the right-click menu by pressing the corresponding letter key.
Creating live kernel memory dumps in Task Manager
Microsoft has introduced a new feature in Task Manager for developers to help collect live kernel dumps. This is in addition to the existing “memory dumps” for user-mode processes. The goal of kernel live dumps is to collect data to troubleshoot anomalies, but allow the operating system to continue to run.
Developers can access the “Details” page in Task Manager, right-click on the “System” process, and select “Create live kernel memory dump file” from the menu. Create a live kernel memory dump file to collect a complete live kernel dump.
The dump will be written to the following fixed location:
"%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\TaskManager\LiveKernelDumps"
You can also go to the “Task Manager Settings” page to view/edit the settings for the live kernel memory dump.
Enable Content Adaptive Brightness Control (CABC) on plug-in devices such as desktop PCs
With Content Adaptive Brightness Control (CABC), a familiar feature, Win11 dynamically adjusts the brightness of the display area based on the content being displayed, balancing low power consumption with the visual experience and extending battery life.
You can adjust the brightness and color by going to Settings > System > Screen. This feature has three options: off, always and “battery only”. For battery-powered devices such as laptops and 2-in-1 devices, the default setting is “Battery Only”. On desktop computers, this is off by default.
