What’s new in version 22509

Browsing the web with Microsoft Edge with Narrator just got easier

They have worked on a number of web browsing enhancements with Microsoft Edge and Narrator. Specifically, typing in edit fields should now be faster, web browsing provides more useful information. Finally, we will have a more consistent browsing experience with Narrator.

They made it easy to type in edit fields, like the address bar. Specifically, if we press Ctrl + L to access the address bar, we can immediately start typing. Scan mode will turn off earlier.

This improvement will also be useful when completing form fields, for example writing our name and address in different edit boxes. In addition to making it easier to type in edit fields, they have also made it easy to delete in edit fields. The narrator will now read the character at the cursor position after a character has been removed. In other words, if the cursor is over the “h” in “hello” and you press delete, Narrator will say “e”.

Changes and improvements in version 22509

• From this version, we can right click on start to quickly go to the start settings and choose the layout option “More pins” or “More recommendations” to display an additional row of Pins or Recommendations, respectively.

• Now when we connect a secondary monitor, the clock and date will now also be displayed on the secondary monitors taskbar so they can be seen. [Están comenzando a implementar este cambio, por lo que aún no está disponible para todos los Insiders, ya que quieren monitorear los comentarios y ver cómo funciona antes de enviarlo a todos.]
• For applications that send call, reminder or alarm notifications that take advantage of Windows notifications in the operating system, 3 high priority notifications will now be displayed stacked and at the same time. This means that at any time we can see up to 4 notifications at the same time: 3 high priority notifications and one normal priority notification.

• As part of your ongoing efforts to incorporate Control Panel settings into the Settings application:
  • Advanced sharing settings (such as network discovery, file and printer sharing, and public folder sharing) have been moved to a new page in the Settings app under Advanced network settings.
  • They made some updates to the device specific pages under Printers and Scanners in Settings to show more information about our printer or scanner directly under Settings when available.
  • Some of the entry points for network and device settings in Control Panel will now be redirected to the corresponding pages in Settings.
• A new option has been added to the Installed Apps page in Settings to sort the list by name (Z to A) and the old option has been updated accordingly. “Alphabetically” so it is now called a Name (from A to Z).
• Now it will remember if we activate bluetooth or wi-fi while we are in airplane mode. The next time we use airplane mode, the networks will reflect our preferences and remain on so that it is easier to continue listening to the headphones and stay connected while traveling.
• Windows Sandbox now supports restarting in our virtualized environment (for example, if we clicked the Restart option on the power button in Start).
