Microsoft a publié une nouvelle Preview de Windows 11 sur le canal DEV du programme Windows Insider. Cette build introduit deux nouveautés et corrige de nombreux bugs.
Disponible en téléchargement Windows 11 build 25290 est proposé en différentes version dont une édition pour les périphériques ARM64. C’est un changement grâce à la correction du problème qui a entraîné la non-publication de Build 25284 sur Arm64 la semaine dernière.
Les deux faits marquants concernent le module des Widgets et le menu démarrer. Après le widget Facebook pour l’application Messenger, nous avons les Widgets Spotify et Phone Link.
Pour les essayer, Microsoft explique
Il faut accéder à la collection de widgets dans le Microsoft Store puis effectuer la mise à jour vers la dernière version des applications. Ouvrez ensuite le tableau des widgets et accédez au sélecteur de widgets en cliquant sur le bouton « + » en haut à droite du tableau pour épingler vos widgets.
Concernant le Menu Démarrer Redmond poursuit son expérience d’octobre 2022 lancée avec Windows 11 build 25227. A l’époque une petite modification a été proposée au niveau des badges du profil utilisateur. Elle permettait d’indiquer que certaines actions devaient être effectuées.
Après un arrêt en novembre, les tests se poursuivent à nouveau avec deux nouveaux styles. Ils sont proposés à certains utilisateurs seulement.
Concernant les correctifs ils s’attaquent à beaucoup de choses dont la barre des tâches et la barre d’état système, la recherche dans la barre des tâches, le gestionnaire des tâches, Spotlight et Paramètres.
Étant sur le canal DEV nous sommes devant un système d’exploitation en développement. Microsoft indique que plusieurs problèmes connus sont présents dont certains sont nouveaux. Ils affectent la page Historique des mises à jour, l’Éditeur de stratégie de groupe, le module Widgets, la barre des tâches et la barre d’état système, la Recherche dans la barre des tâches et Spotlight. Vous trouverez tous les détails ci-dessous
