Microsoft today pushed the Canary, Dev and Beta channels of Win11 preview updates, and also updated the Snipping Tool and Notepad applications.
The snipping tool upgraded to version 11.2307.44.0
This update focuses on the introduction of a screenshot navigation bar to facilitate users to switch between screenshots and screen recording without opening the application.
Users can use the Print Screen button or the Win + Shift + S keyboard combination to open the navigation bar for quick screenshots. Users can also continue to use the Win + Shift + R keyboard key combination to quickly record the screen.
Microsoft also actively listens to user feedback and suggestions to improve the screen recording experience, and the microphone can optionally record PC audio and voiceover.
The Notepad application has been upgraded to version 11.2307.22.0
After a user upgrades, Notepad automatically saves the session state, allowing you to close Notepad without any interruption dialogues, and then pick up where you left off when you return. Notepad will automatically restore previously opened tabs and unsaved content, allowing users to continue editing.
Users can still choose whether to save or discard unsaved changes to files when closing the tab. If you prefer to start over every time you open Notepad, you can turn this feature off in the application settings.
