If you change the primary mouse button under Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Mouse, Windows Sandbox will now follow that setting.

The Remote Desktop Connection setup window (mstsc.exe) has been updated to follow the text scaling settings under Settings > Accessibility > Text Size. In cases where the text scaling is very large, it will show a scrollbar.

When using BitLocker encryption on Windows 11, you can now minimize the encryption progress dialog, and you can now uninstall the Camera app if you need to.

Finally, for devices enrolled in the Dev or Canary Channel, an update of the Microsoft Store app is rolling out with the ability to install free apps and games from search results by hovering over the other product and clicking the “Install” button. Also, you will find a new design when purchasing apps and games and a new interface for the in-app rating dialog.
