Windows 11 build 23595 changes
These are all the changes and improvements for build 23595.
Copilot’s new location and support
Starting with build 23595, Windows 11 moves Copilot to the right side of the Taskbar to bring it closer to the entry point of the flyout. Since Copilot is now closer to the “show the desktop” option, this functionality is disabled by default moving forward.
In addition, the development team begins the rollout of the Copilot support on a multi-monitor setup. This means you can now click the “Copilot” button on whichever monitor you want the feature to show or use the “Windows key + C” shortcut to show the chatbot on the last monitor it was visible on.
Share improvements
As part of the Share improvements, if you’re using your Microsoft Entra ID, it’s now possible to share directly to specific Microsoft Teams Channels and group chats from the Share interface.
Also, Microsoft is updating Nearby Sharing to discover and share files with Android devices in discoverable mode through Bluetooth under Nearby Share in the Share interface.
Windows Ink new changes expand to more places
The digital handwriting (inking) in some edit boxes for Windows Ink expands to Chinese Simplified (People’s Republic of China), English (Australia), English (Canada), English (India), English (United Kingdom), French (Canada), French (France), German (Germany), Italian (Italy), Japanese (Japan), Korean (Korea)Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Mexico), and Spanish (Spain).
Task Manager improvements
Task Manager is getting an update that improves the process grouping on the “Processes” page.
Settings app changes
Finally, the Settings app gets account-related notifications for Microsoft accounts on the home page. This feature displays notifications across the Start menu and Settings, and you can manage these options on Settings > Privacy & security > General.
Furthermore, on Settings > Gaming, the “Xbox Game Bar” is now “Game Bar,” and through the experience, Microsoft is updating the references from Azure Active Directory (AAD) to Microsoft Entra ID.
As part of the fixes, Windows 11 build 23595 fixes an issue causing custom wallpapers to shift when switching desktops.
Microsoft also points out some known issues, including the recommended section appearing blank in the Start menu and when first launching or after refreshing Copilot while using voice access, you will have to use “Show grid” commands to click in the “Ask me anything” box for the first time.
Install build 23595
If you want to download and install the Windows 11 build 23595, enroll your device in the Dev Channel using the “Windows Insider Program” settings from the “Windows Update” section.
Once you enroll the computer in the program, you can download build 23595 from the “Windows Update” settings by clicking the “Check for Updates” button. However, if you are new to the Windows Insider Program, you will need a device that meets the minimum system requirements to receive the update.
