Windows 11, nuove feature anche sulla versione originale (21H2): ecco cosa verrà introdotto

Windows 11 ha già ricevuto diversi aggiornamenti che hanno introdotto nuove funzionalità sul sistema operativo, fra cui la stragrande maggioranza dedicata al nuovo Windows 11 2022 Update (22H2). Chi è rimasto con la versione originale (21H2) ne ha perse alcune, ma non tutte: la release del lancio ha ricevuto un nuovo aggiornamento di recente (build 22000.1515) nel canale Release Preview del programma Insider che ha aggiunto diverse novità nelle Impostazioni, che arriveranno a breve per tutti gli utenti.

Windows 11 22000.1515 aggiunge alla release originale del sistema operativo la funzionalità Windows Spotlight nei Temi, all'interno della pagina Personalizzazione delle Impostazioni in modo da abilitarla in maniera più rapida. Nell'app viene inoltre migliorata la schermata Account, in modo da consentire un più rapido accesso all'abbonamento OneDrive e Xbox e agli avvisi sullo spazio di archiviazione disponibile (anche in altre schermate delle Impostazioni). La build corregge inoltre alcuni problemi che impedivano l'esecuzione di alcune app e della tastiera su schermo.
