Key notes
Were you wondering when the next Dev Channel Insider build was going to be made available by the Redmond tech giant?
Well, build 22572 has arrived today and it brings with it several changes to File Explorer changes, a new Sandbox icon, and much more.
Microsoft has also prepared a surprise for its loyal community, as through this build it also announces a new Search highlights feature.
What new features does build 22572 bring?
Maybe we can start with the fact that Microsoft Family is now an Inbox app. The family safety features you use on the web and mobile are now available on Windows 11 starting with this build.
The Microsoft Family app will only be an inbox app on the Windows 11 Home edition and will be updated via the Microsoft Store.
Remember a while back when we told you thatMicrosoft bought Clickchampand was planning on adding it to the latest operating system?
It seems that the software will be added with this Insider build, as the tech giant clearly mentioned that Clickchamp is now an inbox app, in theofficial blog post.
In Clipchamp, users are said to discover more unique offerings, like a stock library filled with more than a million royalty-free videos, audio tracks, and images that can be added to videos.
There’s even an Azure-powered text-to-speech generator capable of creating voiceovers in more than 70 languages.
Clipchamp also connects with OneDrive, meaning you can import files and save videos quickly and securely.
Also, starting early next week, Microsoft will begin rolling out an update for Search in Windows 11 that highlights interesting moments in time.
Of course, you can still type to start searching for your apps, files, settings, and quick answers on the web.
Search highlights will present notable and interesting moments such as holidays, anniversaries, and other educational moments in time both globally and in your region.
