Windows 11 build 25346 changes
The most recent version of Windows 11 in the Canary Channel has all of the following new features and enhancements:
Content Adaptive Brightness Control
The Content Adaptive Brightness Control (CABC) feature in Windows 11 is being extended to operate on laptops and convertible devices that are connected to a charger, starting with build 25346.
You may adjust the feature’s settings by going to Settings>System>Display, then Brightness & Color, where you’ll see a drop-down menu with three choices: Off, Always, and On Battery Only.
Remote Desktop new connection bar
In keeping with Windows 11 design principles, the Remote Desktop experience is getting a new connection bar for remote desktop sessions as well as an updated light and dark mode look.
File Explorer
When sharing a local file in File Explorer with Outlook contacts, you will now have the option to send the file to yourself in a fast email. Additionally, Microsoft improved the way that contacts are loaded from Outlook.
New Presence sensing settings
Beginning with Windows 11 build 25346, new privacy options and APIs for presence sensors are available in the options app under Settings>Privacy & security>Presence sensing. However, only devices with suitable presence sensors can access the settings page. If so, you can now control your privacy by allowing or prohibiting specific apps from using these sensors. To protect privacy, Microsoft won’t gather any photos or metadata, and all processing is carried out locally on the hardware of the device.
New dialog for Windows Security
In keeping with Windows 11 design principles, the company is also reintroducing a new dialog interface for Windows Security (firewall) notifications.
Graphics settings
Windows 11 is changing the HDR setting on the Displaysettings page, adding a toggle to enable or disable HDR when the device is powered by a battery.
Windows Narrator
Lastly, users of Windows Narrator can now confidently interact with Traditional Chinese characters when utilizing both Narrator and the Windows IME candidate window.
Additionally, the Windows Narrator now uses the dictionary to define every word in Traditional Chinese.
