Microsoft has released Windows 11 Preview Build 22000.65, which is now available to Insiders on the Insider Channel. As you might expect, the mentioned firmware brings with it a number of changes that should make the process of interacting with the operating system more comfortable.
One of the most notable changes concerns the Start menu, which has a full search bar. Another search bar, as before, is located at the top of the widgets menu.
The Power Modes setting appears on the Power & Battery page in the Options menu. Changing the “Power Modes” is also available through the context menu, which can be called by clicking on the battery icon on the taskbar (relevant for laptops). The user can easily increase the performance of the device or, on the contrary, decrease it in order to extend the battery life.
One of the handy features of Windows 11 is the new window snapping layouts, which allow the user to arrange application windows on the screen according to their own preferences. In the new build, this feature is optimized for small screen devices when used in portrait orientation. The developers also updated the design of some of the system warning dialog boxes; to make them more consistent with the look of Windows 11.
