Windows 11 24H2 update KB5055632 and KB5055634
These are the new features and fixes rolling out for Windows 11 in the Beta and Dev Channels.
Voice Typing with new filter
Starting with this release, the context menu for Voice Typing will include a toggle switch to filter improper words. When the feature is turned on, it marks those words with asterisks, and when it’s off, words are spelled out.
Pen button with Click to Do
If you have a device with a touch-enabled screen with support for a digital pen, you can now set the action button to open “Click to Do” from Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Pen & Windows Ink.
Also, the pen menu that appears in the Taskbar will now show the “Click to Do” feature as an option.
Windows Search changes
As part of the Semantic Indexing feature, if you use a work or school account, Windows Search from the Taskbar will only show matches for keywords, not images.
Taskbar Accessibility menu update
The Accessibility flyout menu has been updated to show features by categories, such as vision, hearing, motor, and mobility, to make the menu easier to use.
Other fixes and changes
These updates also come with several fixes and changes, including:
- General – Addressed issues causing blank apps after updates and a non-functional Windows Recovery Environment and its “Fix problems using Windows Update” option.
- Click to Do – Resolved a problem where images used in Click to Do actions remained stuck in the temporary folder on Copilot+ PCs.
- Login and Lock – Fixed an issue preventing Windows Hello Face from working for some Insiders after recent updates.
- Input – Corrected problems where changing symbol pages on the touch keyboard could unexpectedly insert characters in password fields, and toggling the Japanese touch keyboard could block input.
- Settings – Adjusted the corner radius display when hovering over cards on the “About” settings page.
- Other – Resolved issues preventing Quick Assist from working for non-admin users and causing certain apps to fail to open due to a missing virtual machine component, as well as fixing a bug that could lead to USB devices disconnecting after sleep until reboot.
Finally, Microsoft is noting some known issues during installation, Xbox Controllers, Recall, Click to Do, Windows Search, and Task Manager.
